Last Night Blues is an album by the blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins, with Sonny Terry, recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label the following year. AllMusic stated: "Lightnin' Hopkins may be Texas's most distinctive and influential blues export. His easy, fluid fingerpicking and witty, extemporaneous storytelling are always a delight, and his performances on Last Night Blues are no exception. The album is spare and acoustic, with Hopkins's voice and guitar accompanied by minimal percussion and Sonny Terry's harmonica ... this dynamite disc represents what the blues should be: stripped-down, soulful, and full of truth". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings awarded the album 3 stars, noting: "Sonny Terry's contributions to Last Night Blues is entirely and discreetly responsive".
