Elmore James Jr. - Daddy Gave Me the Blues

Listening to this music, you can smell the whiskey, perfume, and cigar smoke in a hard-rockin juke on a Saturday night; you can feel the voluptuous flesh of the big, fine lady who's swaying back and forth in your arms; you can see, out of the corner of your eye, the hipsters slipping a reefer back and forth in a dark corner as they toss cards into a battered wooden table and guard their money stashes with nonchalant, ominous intensity. In other words, this is the real thing, the kind of blues that's often advertised but seldom delivered anymore. And the best news is that Elmore James Jr. is still active, still delivering it, and -in the wake of this CD - has expanded his touring schedule to the point where he may well be delivering it near you soon. Don't pass up the opportunity when he does.
