Madison Blues

[hookalakah]

Let's hear it for J.T. Brown's great tenor saxophone solo, folks.

First time I heard of this amazing man . I was 19 in 1971 lost my virginity to a 21 year old Norwegian red head (who at the time I thought was old) In the Arctic circle Tromso . It was Homesick James version Elmores cousin, I prefer Elmore's verion🎉

[Rckelley]

How could 1 person not like, but LOVE this tune. Elmore was the greatest slide guitarist ever, in my book.

The King Of The Slide Guitar. A seminal influence from John Mayall thru George Thorogood and my all time favorite blues artist. God Bless You Elmore wherever you are

[marychapman]

One of the most influential slide guitarists ever, and also one of the greatest blues singers.

My music interests started with the blues in the late 60s and I'm still here.

[rodgarnay]

This is some awesome blues singing right here.

[anthursan]

My humble comment, is regarding the song For you Blue by George Harrison, it has a lot of similarity with this song by Elmore

[JosephMars-xo]

Absolute King of the slide guitar, such a shame that there's no video recording of him playing, would love to see that raw power of him playing live
