Lightnin' Hopkins is widely regarded as one of the great popular architects of the blues style known as "country blues," which proved to be a huge influence on the future development of rock 'n' roll. "Mojo Hand" was one of Hopkins' iconic tracks. Blending his own style with the Creole and voodoo culture of Louisiana, the song undulates with an occult energy. This album, recorded for Fire Records, is particularly interesting as it places Hopkins in a more R&B environment. This evident effort to achieve success takes excellent blues; moody and powerful performances play throughout the film. The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings stated that "Lightnin' is focused and professional and offers a strong and varied sequence of songs; the bassist and drummer are discreet yet well-present."
