Hopkins Did Some Jail-Time In The 1930's, Vividly Describing Working On A Road-Gang And Being Shackled To His Bunk At Night. Upon Release He Recorded Several Sides In 1945, Returning To The Clubs Of Houston As His Rustic Style Was Overwhelmed By The New Sounds Coming Out Of Chicago. The Folk/Blues Revival Brought Hopkins A Whole New Audience Thirsty For The Stripped Back Pain And Despair Of Authentic Blues.
