Album Review

Tomato's Dust My Broom collects some of the last recordings of Elmore James' career, including "Baby Please Set a Date," "The Sky Is Crying," "Done Somebody Wrong," and "Shake Your Moneymaker."

"Rollin' and Tumblin'," "Anna Lee," "Fine Little Mama," and "One Way Out" are some of the other highlights of this collection, which may not be as definitive as Rhino's The Sky Is Crying, but still offers enough essential songs and performances to make it worthwhile.

Buy it!

He's a pioneer of electric slide guitar I recommend this to any blues listener
