Lightnin' Hopkins & Mance Lipscomb -
masters of the country blues (Yazoo)
Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin' Hopkins- Within the borders of Texas, black music was rich and vital with a particular sound all its own.

A new transfer from original film masters brings improved sound and picture to these performances. Each DVD intimately captures the artists and their techniques, communicating the power and eloquence of blues as played by its masters.
