"Short Haired Woman" by Lightnin' Hopkins
Smokey Hogg was reputed to be the cousin of fellow Blues musician Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins though there seems to be no proof of it.
Lightnin' Hopkins and his guitar cut some of the alchemical records where you hear the undefinable transition from blues to rock. He released his debut album Lightnin' Hopkins Strums the Blues (actually a compilation album of his Aladdin Records stuff) in 1958.
Also included: the small output of his early partner Wilson "Thunder" Smith.
