Elmore James Jr. is one of the last old-school blues slide guitar players in Chicago. His father Elmore James created the electric slide guitar style by putting a pick-up on his acoustic guitar; his first recording was an electrified band version of Robert Johnson's “Dust My Broom”.
‘Old School Lover’ follows Elmore Jr’s previous album, "Baby Please Set A Date" (Wolf 120822), and presents 12 tracks of top-notch electric blues - 8 written by producer Earnest Johnson, + Eddie Boyd’s ‘Third Degree’ & Elmore senior’s classic ‘I Can’t Hold Out’.
After Elmore senior died in 1963, others continued to play slide guitar in the classic Chicago blues style : Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutto, Honeyboy Edwards, John Primer, John Littlejohn, Eddie Taylor (sen. & jr.) - & indeed, Elmore James Jr.
But no other Chicago blues band can play Elmore senior's famous original blues style quite the way Elmore James Jr. & His Broom Dusters can. ---discovery-records.com
