Elmore James top 20 according to Hallgeir

Today it’s the date that the greatest slide guitarist of all time, Elmore James,  was born in 1918. Like so many others I got to know his music through other artists interpretations of his songs. Since then I’ve learned to love the original versions by Mr. James himself.

The Sky is Crying:

A lot of the songs have become part of the rock’n roll canon, but my list is put together by some well known treasures as well as some  gems that are not known to everyone.
