The Sky Is Crying: 20 All-time Original Blues Classics

The legendary bluesman Elmore James is the most influential slide guitarist of the postwar period. He's been credited as one of the primary architects of blues-rock by virtue of his energising primal riffs and raw, driving intensity. His influence (in approach, attitude and tone) is incalculable, and can be heard in just about every guitar player who puts a slide on his finger and wails the blues.
