Up for sale is this rare Lightening Hopkins-Ain't It A Shame/Crazy 'Bout My Baby on Mercury Records 70081. This record was found at a 100 year old barn in south Texas and is in graded as Good with many pops nicks and surface noise heard throughout the record. That being said, it's still enjoyable to listen to and hear his singular vocal style and brilliant fluid guitar work. The photos show the whole story. Happy listening.
