Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mighty Crazy (Lightnin' Hopkins)
Subject: RE: looking for a Lightning Hopkins song
Thank you Jim! Yes, I was looking for "Lightning Hopkins in New York", while the album is apparently called "In New York" or "Lightnin' in New York".

The song I was looking for is indeed "Mighty Crazy (to keep on rubbin' that ...)". I'm not sure where I got that bit about "What's that you're drinkin'?" "That's wine!" that I mentioned in the original posting. Either that is in the song as incidental dialogue, or else I was remembering something else.

The recording with Lightnin', Sonny Terry, and Brownie McGhee doing "Ain't Nothing Like Whiskey" sounds like a really good one. Maybe I'll look into it someday. But that's not the song I was looking for.

Thank you to all who replied!
