There's a story at the Houston Press site about the unveiling of the historical marker for Lightnin' Hopkins.

Thanks for the note nd the links.  I notrice one of the photographs is captioned "Houston singer Diunna Greenleaf and her band Blue Mercy performed Robert Johnson's "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day," which evolved into the blues standard "Rollin' and Tumblin'." "
