Description
Elmore's last great recordings occurred in the 1960s when he was signed by New York producer/label-owner Bobby Robinson (Fire, Fury & Enjoy Records). Unlike many of his contemporaries, James seemingly got better as the years progressed. These recordings have surfaced on so many different compilations -- all with varying levels of sound quality. Fortunately, to make things easier we have this three-disc 58-song box set rounding up at least one extant take of everything Elmore recorded with Robinson at the helm. Along with standards -- Dust My Broom, The Sky Is Crying, the classic One Way Out -- the majority of this box set breaks new ground and stands as some of Elmore's most emotion-laden work. Included are Elmore's last sessions before his death and several tracks he cut as a session guitarist for Bobby Robinson.
