Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, piano, organ); 
Joel Hopkins, Eddie Hinton (guitar); 
Ira James (harmonica);
John "Streamline" Ewing (trombone);

One of Lightin' Hopkins' greatest & rarest releases is now out on CD. Mojo Hand (originally released on the Fire label late in 1960) is particularly interesting because it presents Hopkins in a context that ranges from blues to classic R&B. The album's title track, originally released as a single, has become one of the artist's signature tunes.
