Les Blank also did a short, The Sun's Gonna Shine, using additional footage from Texas. Look for a full color cameo from the Rock Island Railroad! DIG IT here: http://bit.ly/esYmeg
Do you know Lee Blanks movie about Mance Lipscomb? The title is ´A Well Spent Life´ Recommended!
This is just great stuff. Lightin' was lit up!
Check out the new book Lightnin' Hopkins: His Life and Blues by Alan Govenar just out. The first comprehenesive bio. BTW, you can buy this video on dvd from Les Blank's website.
