Elmore James Hits & Rarities 180g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;The & quot;King Of The Slide Guitar & quot; On 180g Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Elmore James is known as the & quot;King of the Slide Guitar. & quot; He was inspired by the local performances of Robert Johnson, whose & quot;Dust My Broom & quot; became James' signature song and laid the foundation for his recording career. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;First cut by James in August 1951, & quot;Dust My Broom & quot; contains the strongest example of his stylistic signature: a swooping, full-octave opening figure on slide guitar. He has been credited with practically inventing blues rock by energizing primal riffs
with a raw, driving intensity. James left behind a raft of classic blues songs that influenced a legion of Chicago slide players, and his songs have been cut by the likes of the Allman Brothers Band, Canned Heat, Fleetwood Mac and the Paul Butterfield
Blues Band. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt; & quot;You can hear his signature riff at least once a night from every slide guitarist working, & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; music historian Tony Glover has written, & lt;strong & gt; & quot;but no one has ever quite matched that vocal intensity, which transformed the lonesome moan of the Delta into a Chicago scream. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Fire Records owner Bobby Robinson got these propulsive performances out of the Chicago slide-guitar god in the early '60s. Includes & quot;So Unkind & quot;, & quot;My Kind Of Woman & quot;, & quot;I Gotta Go Now & quot;, & quot;Pickin' The Blues & quot;, & quot;Hand In Hand & quot;, & quot;Dust My Broom & quot;, & quot;My Baby's Gone & quot;,
& quot;So Unkind & quot;, & quot;Person To Person & quot; and more blistering blues! & lt;/p & gt;

& lt;p & gt;The Smithereens presents a Christmas 45 that is more thoughtful and intriguing than the average tossed-together holiday offering. Harking back to the days when bands would make and release Christmas albums and songs without any trace of irony, this Smithereens
release captures the spirit of a & quot;rock and roll & quot; holiday disc. The original composition & quot;Christmas Morning & quot; will remind you of the best moments of a Smithereens song. This quartet does an impressive job of channeling the spirit of 1960s rock. The B-side,
& quot;Twas The Night Before Christmas & quot; adds a nice twist to an otherwise familiar record. & lt;/p & gt;
