Elmore James - King Of The Slide Guitar - The Complete Trumpet, Chief & Fire Sessions (1951-1963) 3CD Boxset (2003) FLAC
Comprised of his complete classic recordings for the Chief, Fire and Enjoy labels and also the original Trumpet recording of his immortal hit, Dust My Broom. Alongside Dust My Broom, his signature track, this box set features all of the tracks James cut between 1959 and 1963, when he was at his most potent and creative, This wonderful three-disc set includes that first version of "Broom" along with a half-dozen other versions (and a half-dozen more under different titles) that James recorded for Trumpet, Mel London's Chief Records, and Bobby Robinson's Fire label between 1951 and 1963. But James wasn't a one-trick pony, and aside from recycling killer version after killer version of "Dust My Broom," this set also contains his classic takes on the majestic "It Hurts Me Too," "The Sky Is Crying," "Rollin' and Tumblin'," and his rewrite of another Johnson standard, "Standing at the Crossroads." Check out the distortion, dirt and tone of his guitar on little known tracks like "Got to Move" and "Find My Kind of Woman," or the ragged yet elegant drive of "Can't Stop Loving My Baby" or "Elmore Jumps Up (Up Jumped Elmore)," to hear why he remains a guitarist's guitarist to this day. And don't forget James as a vocalist, either. He sang like his life depended on it every second, which is why there is literally no Elmore James collection that won't deliver the goods. This box set is no exception. Mississippi born and raised, Elmore James learned his trade in the Delta in the 1930s, emerging in the early 1950s as the godfather of modern electric guitar, and no guitarist who ever plugged an instrument into an amp is free of his influence. Not only did he create the template for electric slide players everywhere, he also reworked his amps until they delivered a raw, overdriven sound that became endemic in pop and rock music a decade later, and no punk band ever sounded more ragged or passionate than Elmore James in full stride. James was the unchallenged king of the electric slide guitar, updating the legacy of the country blues to post-war Chicago, and his potent influence has been widely acknowledged by both blues and rock guitar heroes including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green, Johnny Winter, Jeremy Spencer and Brian Jones.
