Elmore James And His Broomdusters ‎– The Original Meteor & Flair Sides

39,99

Elmore James was an American blues slide guitarist and singer who recorded from 1951 until 1963. His first recording, “Dust My Broom”, became his best-known song and a success on the US Billboard magazine’s national Top R&B singles chart. It was issued by the small Trumpet Records label in 1951 and peaked at number nine in 1952. Shortly thereafter, James began recording for several larger companies. From 1952 to 1956, he recorded for the Bihari brothers, who issued singles on their Meteor, Flair, and Modern labels, which produced a second record chart success. In 1957, he recorded for Mel London’s Chief Records and from 1959 to 1963, for Bobby Robinson’s Fire Records. “The Sky Is Crying” and “It Hurts Me Too”, two songs he recorded for Robinson, became his last chart appearances. In 1953 and again in 1960, James also recorded some songs that appeared on Checker/Chess Records, including “Madison Blues” and “I Can’t Hold Out”. “TV Mama”, for which he provided guitar, was a number six chart hit for Big Joe Turner in 1954.
