Some very cool segments with Lightning Hopkins , Hop Wilson , Black Ace , Lowell Fulsom and many others . All live performances in clubs , in church , on the street , at the Opry , in a Nashville recording studio , with Pete Drake and Red Sovine .

I had watched that fine documentary previously, but most enjoyable to see it once again. Wishing they would have included much more rare footage and devoted way more time to the great, underrated, and relatively unknown Hop Wilson. Does anyone have any info on Hop's tuning(s)?

More Hop Wilson would have been nice. Nice clip of Shorty LeBlanc and the Sugar Bees with some good close ups of the steel player . Maybe more footage will surface one of these days .
