... born in Centerfield, deep in the heart of the Texas pine wood and cotton country.
Lightnin' wrote and sang and recorded a monumental catalog of blues songs. He played on street corners, in small clubs, and at Carnegie Hall. His voice evoked his rugged past as a field hand and rambler. His guitar work was highly imaginative and improvisational, and was steeped in the deep blues of his soul. Go, Lightnin'!
