Comment:

Elmore James was blessed with a voice that could make a statue weep, but his music spoke just as loudly when he let his guitar do the talking. On the strutting instrumental "She Done Moved," he uses a minimal number of notes to achieve the maximum amount of [i]oomph[/i]. You might begin to wonder whether James had to register his slide with the authorities as a deadly weapon when you hear it slash and burn its way through the stormy, stomping boogie-woogie workout "Hawaiian Boogie, No. 2." And if the riffs kicking up a ruckus on Big Joe Turner's video-vixen shuffle "TV Mama" sound somehow familiar, well, who [i]else[/i] do you think could threaten to upstage the big man on his own hit record?
