#8220;Product Description: 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 quot;I Need Youquot; or the pain of quot;It Hurts Me, Too.quot; 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 quot;Dust My Broom,quot; which James made his signature tune, as well as the title track, which contains some of the sweetest licks in blues history.

Review: If you're wondering which Elmore James-album to start with, look no further. This is the definitive single-disc collection.
Opening with James' first waxing, his magnificent 1951 single quot;Dust My Broomquot;, quot;The Sky Is Cryingquot; includes almost all of James' best and best-known songs. Elmore James rocked harder than most other bluesmen...his band, the Broomdusters, was one of the finest that Chicago had to offer, featuring pianist Little Johnny Jones and saxist J.T. Brown, and Elmore himself was an awesome performer with a huge, emotional voice. His fiery slide playing made him the most influential electric slide guitarist of the post-WWII era bar none.
There are two excellent boxs sets on the market which include almost everything Elmore recorded, quot;The Classic Early Recordings 1951-1956quot; and quot;King Of The Slide Guitarquot; which brings together his later recordings. But I can see why you would want to start somewhere else, and this disc is your best bet. These 21 songs aren't everything you need to know about Elmore James, of course, but it is expertly compiled, superbly annotated, and cross-licensed as well, meaning that it draws from all of the labels that James recorded for. A few of his best Chess sides are missing (the omission of quot;Whose Muddy Shoesquot; is the biggest loss), but with so many tremendous songs here you hardly notice.
And the 15-page booklet includes all available recording information, as well as several photos and a thoroughly researched essay on Elmore by Robert Palmer.
Tough blues n' boogie like quot;I Can't Hold Outquot; and quot;Shake Your Moneymakerquot;, swaggering mid-tempo grinds like quot;Madison Bluesquot;, quot;Look On Yonder Wallquot;, and quot;Done Somebody Wrongquot;, and smouldering slow blues like quot;It Hurts Me Tooquot; and the ever-present title track...it's all top-notch, even the lesser-known songs. As the editorial review so rightly states: anyone who wears a bottleneck today owes a debt to Elmore James.
He is here as a sideman as well, wielding the slide behind Big Joe Turner on Turner's lusty quot;T.V. Mamaquot;, and the compilers have included one of his finest instrumental numbers, the up-tempo quot;Hawaiian Boogiequot;. And listen to the way he solos right through his own vocals in quot;Sho' 'Nuff I Doquot;, and his interplay with harpist Sam Myers on the gritty quot;Look On Yonder Wallquot;...Elmore had it all, the style, the talent, and all the feeling, and even the sheer repetitiveness of the recording process couldn't dim the intensity of his performance. Elmore James gave it his all every time the red light went on.
If you only ever buy a handful of quot;classicquot; electric blues albums, make sure this is one of them. This is simply one of the two or three strongest-ever compilations of electric blues music. #8221;
