Shootin Fire (Mono)

Lightnin' Hopkins recorded over a dozen songs for the Clarity Music Company at the quot;ACAquot; Recording Studio in Houston in April of 1969. These songs ranged from new originals, such as quot;Born In The Bottomquot;, quot;December 7, 1941quot;, quot;A Rainy Day In Houstonquot;, and quot;Stinking Footquot;, to oldies such as quot;Feel Like Ballin' The Jackquot;, quot;Shake That Thingquot; and quot;Shinin' Moonquot;. Since the 1970's some of these songs have been released on haphazard compilations with the bass and drums mixed too high, the guitar leads mixed too low, and excessive quot;reverbquot; in an attempt to make Lightnin' sound more contemporary. Now for the first time ever the original four track masters have been re-mixed without any of the extraneous studio misjudgments that marred previous releases. As an added bonus, previously unreleased recordings such as quot;Movin On Out When The Saints March Inquot;, quot;Old House Torn Downquot;, quot;Mistrust My Baby And She Mistrust Mequot;, and quot;Baby Please Don't Do Me Wrongquot; are included on this compendium of Lightnin' Hopkins gems. A large selection of never before seen photos, contracts, and documents rounds out this collection of rarities. The net result is 77 minutes of Lightnin' Hopkins in his prime quot;shootin' firequot;.
