Smokes Like Lightning is an album by the blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins, recorded in Texas in 1962 and released on the Bluesville label the following year.[1] [2] [3]
AllMusic reviewer Greg Adams stated: " A brief and uneven album, Smokes Like Lightnin is less compelling than Hopkins' '50s recordings, but strikes an appealingly lazy acoustic groove". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "the quality of Lightnin's performances is variable".[4]
