Little Jimmy King
Little Jimmy King's second Bullseye/Rounder session matches the slashing guitarist with the rhythm section that once backed Stevie Ray Vaughan. King soars on these 11 cuts; while he lacks Vaughan's speed and is more a straight blues technician, he plays with more imagination and drive than on his debut. He contributes six originals and does a ...

King of the Slide Guitar [Capricorn 2 Disc Box]

by
Elmore James
Elmore's last great recordings occurred in the 1960s when he was signed by New York producer/label-owner Bobby Robinson. Unlike many of his contemporaries, James seemingly got better as the years went by and while none of the sides feature a slide guitar anywhere near as nasty as his early Modern and Flair recordings, he's still obviously giving ...

The Rollin' & Tumblin': The Best of Elmore James [Relic]
(1992)

by
Elmore James
Although the Capricorn box set does a great job of rounding at least one take of everything James cut for Bobby Robinson's Fire & Enjoy labels, if you want (or need) to sweat it down to bare essentials, this is the one to grab out of the blues bin and take home. The remastering by Little Walter Devenne on this single disc is exemplary and for late ...

Fleetwood Mac
No U.S. label has seen fit to provide a multi-disc retrospective of the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac for the digital age. If you suspect that this richly warranted project will never come to fruition, you might want to hunt down this double LP of pre-Then Play On material. Originally issued in the early 1970s, it pairs Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac ...

Elmore James
An intensely powerful singer and guitarist, Elmore James did not start his recording career until he was 33, and he only lived to be 45, but he made a very strong impact during his dozen years on records. Some of his finest work was cut for the Fire label during 1959-1961, roughly half of which is included on this single CD. Other than a final ...

Elmore James
A former radio repairman, Elmore James spent a good deal of time re-wiring his amplifiers, giving him a raw, distorted, and urgent sound on electric guitar that, coupled with his killer slide style, made him the Godfather of modern electric guitar, and few gunslingers can match his intensity or powerful, dirty sound even when armed with a ...

While you can find these wonderful selections from the Trumpet, Vee Jay, Fire and Enjoy labels on many other anthologies, this collection features them nicely remastered and intelligently sequenced. But at this point, with so many James anthologies around, you can either opt for quantity and quality, or just quality. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Not only did he create the template for electric slide players everywhere, he also reworked his amps ...
