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.

Here is an interesting coincidence. It was 60 years ago today the the music world lost legendary blues guitarist #ElmoreJames. Also on this day #PeterGreen played his final gig with #FleetwoodMac. Elmore James was one of his primary influences.
