Product Description

From Amazon.com

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 "I Need You" or the pain of "It Hurts Me, Too." 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 "Dust My Broom," which James made his signature tune, as well as the title track, which contains some of the sweetest licks in blues history. --Genevieve Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars 怒涛のスライドギターがぶり寄り!, 2003/3/18
1951年(サニーボーイのハモニカ入り/ダスト・マイ・ブルーム)から1961年(ニューオリンズ録音/ルック・オン・ヤンダー・ウォール、シェイク・ユア・マネーメーカー)まで、各時代の代表曲がばっちり含まれていて、コンパクトながらエルモア・ジェイムズ濃縮盤として大変気に入りました。

曲の並び方も「意外とバラエティに富んだエルモア」を実感できて好編集。
CD流しっぱなしでくつろいでいも快適、巷で聞く「ワンパターン」とは別世界です。
英文ブックレットには写真満載、各曲のクレジット、録音データも有りとても親切。
(歌詞は載っていません)

ブルーム調の3連スライドがぶり寄りシリーズは当然のこと、

タイトルにもなっているスカイ・イズ・クライングやサン・イズ・シャイニングの
妖しく重たいスローブルースも独特の迫力で最高です。
サムシング・インサイド・ミーでの鬼気迫る高音スライドから爆音のような低音への展開は異様な世界。
まだエルモア・ジェイムズ聞いた事の無い「スライド好きさん」には強烈にお勧めします。

アナログLPで不気味なジャケのベスト盤とフーズマディシューズを愛聴していたので、
まずはCD1枚でエルモア・ジェイムズをコンパクトに押さえたくて購入。
この先、各時代のエルモアを揃えていくとしても「お気に入りCD」となる予感がします。
