ELMORE JAMES
I Need You
Year unknown U.S. Mono reissue

Some fine Wednesday morning #blues as I plow through some apple pancakes.

I’ve always loved the SOUND of Elmore James. All of the records I have of his just SOUND excellent. It’s a real SOULFUL kind of blues, and he’s always sounded fantastic on vinyl.

James died pretty young; just 45 years old, six months before Kennedy was shot. And as great as his voice was, I think it was his slide guitar playing that was his secret weapon. Even his guitar playing was soulful.

Other than John Lee Hooker, probably my favorite blues performer.
