Down South Summit Meetin' (also released as First Meetin' and Lightnin' Hopkins & The Blues Summit) is an album by the blues musicians Brownie McGhee, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Joe Williams and Sonny Terry, recorded in 1960 and released on the World Pacific label.
Reception
AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason called it "a well-lubricated studio jam session". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings awarded the album 3 stars, noting: "The atmosphere is charged with the electricity of several wiley old blues musicians topping each other's tricks. their occasionally, and perhaps not always entirely playfully, barbed sides add a whiff of brimstone. Altogether the performance tells us things about the four men that their other records don't generally convey, and anyone with a special fondness for any of the artists really aught to hear it".
