Product Description
From Amazon.com
Other post-WWII Chicago bluesmen are better known, but the work of Elmore James holds up as well as any of theirs. If he never had the technical accomplishment of, say, Earl Hooker, he did have as much depth of emotional expression as Muddy Waters; just listen to the sweetness of "I Need You" or the pain of "It Hurts Me, Too." The Sky Is Crying: The History of Elmore James contains some of the most important work of a man who still reigns as the king of slide guitar; anyone who wears a bottleneck today owes a debt to James. Highlights include Robert Johnson's "Dust My Broom," which James made his signature tune, as well as the title track, which contains some of the sweetest licks in blues history. --Genevieve Williams

Enough Elmore for all but the most serious collectors.,
By . (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sky Is Crying-History (Audio CD)
Elmore James was on at least a few labels, so it's not that too hard to dig up lots more if you want to, but for most of us, this is a whole lot of great blues from one of the most talented and important artists. For some strange reason , not nearly enough guys out there now are playing this slide style now. To check out a modern-day Elmore, still playing the joints, look for Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials.

Great Compilation Of One Of The Great Blues Players,
By
This review is from: The Sky Is Crying-History (Audio CD)
If you're not familiar with Elmore James, start with this one.Elmore James is one of the key figures in the history of the blues and his material has been covered by Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many other top blues guitarists. If you're interested in the blues, Elmore James is a musician you need to know about. This compilation by Rhino Records is a excellent introduction to James' work.
