Track Listing. There is a film kicking around that summarizes the Hopkins take on the blues perfectly. The first part is footage of country blues great Mance Lipscomb, and the other part is Hopkins. Lipscomb looks weary and tired, and one of his hands is bandaged. Hopkins is wearing sunglasses, and playing with the energy and force of a much younger man.
