In my opinion Elmore James is up there with the top three bluesman of all time. This compilation is a little patchy as it doesn,t include a lot of his better recordings. However, for a starter it will do the job!.Elmore wasn,t just a one riff man as is sometimes stated by people who should know better, and if you hear tracks like "Something inside of me","I need you", "Held my baby last night", and "Anna Lee" you will be converted. Sadly none of these tracks are available on this compilation but are readily available elsewhere. Elmore also recorded a few tracks for Chess and these are available on an Elmore James/John Brim cd which is excellent. Versions of "Stormy Monday Blues", "The Sun is shining" are perfect Elmore and this cd should be available on line at Amazon, or ebay.
