Autobiography in Blues is an album by blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins recorded in 1959. Down and dirty, out and out blues, honest and true – perfect documents of Lightnin's style, songs and performance.
Those who came later to the life of the blues were deeply influenced by Lightnin'. The mastertapes were sonically cleansed and digitally remastered for this release.
