Elmore James - The Ultimate Collection (2014)

Elmore James electrified Robert Johnson’s acoustic rural blues number ‘I Believe I'll Dust My Broom', transforming it into a swaggering, metropolitan juggernaut that has dwarfed everything else he did. However, he was far more than a one trick pony and this 60 track set highlights the enduring brilliance and versatility of a performer who would go on to influence the likes of Ry Cooder and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
