Elmore James & John Brim - Tough
Blue Horizon M7-63204 United Kingdom 1968
Sleeve: Very Good+
Vinyl : Excellent
No two ways about it, the most influential slide guitarist of the postwar period was Elmore James, hands down. Although his early demise from heart failure kept him from enjoying the fruits of the '60s blues revival as his contemporaries Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf did, James left a wide influential trail behind him. And that influence continues to the present time -- in approach, attitude and tone -- in just about every guitar player who puts a slide on his finger and wails the blues. As a guitarist, he wrote the book, his slide style influencing the likes of Hound Dog Taylor, Joe Carter, his cousin Homesick James and J B Hutto, while his seldom-heard single-string work had an equally profound effect on B B King and Chuck Berry. His signature lick -- an electric updating of Robert Johnson's "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" and one that Elmore recorded in infinite variations from day one to his last session -- is so much a part of the essential blues fabric of guitar licks that no one attempting to play slide guitar can do it without being compared to Elmore James. Others may have had more technique, but Elmore had the sound and all the feeling.
Rare 1968 UK 12-track mono only LP featuring eight songs by Elmore & four by the lesser known but equally important John Brim, front laminated picture sleeve. The sleeve on this copy shows some light shelfwear & corner scuffing, so would be graded VG+. The vinyl is in very respectable Excellent condition - a nice copy of this rare Blue Horizon release at a very advantageous price!
