Lightnin' in New York is essential for both the aficionado and the new comer to the blues. Lightnin' in New York captures the essence of the artist at his prime. This true classic was recorded in 1960 and was produced by Nat Hentoff. Nat and engineer, Bob d'Orleans, captured Lightnin's singing with more presence and depth of timbre than perhaps ever before. His guitar playing aches with the same emotion as his singing voice, sometimes more. Highlights from Lightnin' in New York include: "Mighty Crazy."
