Customer Reviews of Masters of the Country Blues - Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin' Hopkins
Finally, I got to see these guys performing! I fell in love with this genre (i.e., blues) about 5 yrs ago and amongst the various blues artists, Hopkins' and Manscomb's music were the ones that hit the right chord within me. <
> <
>Watching this DVD is very exciting for me thus, as I've been listening to these guys for a long time now but have not seen till now how they perform their music. <
> <
>The DVD is very well made. The soundtrack is monoaural though, and certainly not of high fidelity, as the original material came from an old [1969?] performance for the Seattle Folk Society, in a session that was shot in what looks like a bare studio. <
> <
>The beauty of the performances lie therein though, in the "primitiveness" of the material. It sure is fun to watch Lipscomb singing/playing with minimum bodily movements, as compared to the more animated and lively Hopkins. <
> <
>My only negative comment is that there's not much story-telling that Hopkins made in between or before the songs, which stories are usually as interesting to hear as the songs themselves. <
> <
>Just the same, on the overall this is a must-see for all fans of Texas blues. <

>Mance Lipscomb [born 1895] <
