5.0 out of 5 stars
Great blues from the offspring of a legend!,
By Baberufus (West Jordan, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daddy Gave Me The Blues (MP3 Download)
I never knew there was an Elmore James Jr. until I saw a teaser for this album, and I'm a long-time Elmore James (Sr.) fan. I did a little "background check" on Jr. here and this guy has apparently had a thriving career in the Chicago club scene for over forty years! This album proves that he is indeed a blues master, and he wisely avoids trying to be a clone of his father, despite his taking on the legend's name (Elmore James Jr. is not his real name). He is a great singing and guitar talent in his own right. The man is nearly 70 years old, but it sounds like he has plenty of life left in him! Go Elmore Jr! I encourage every blues fan out there to try to catch him in concert, if possible. Reading his bio, I get the impression that he has not had the best of luck career-wise, and it would be great if he could get some widespread recognition before his career ends--although if he's like B.B. King, he will keep playing until he drops, which is what we hope for!
Highly recommended CD. Every song is a winner--especially the funked out version of Tore Down--it cooks! His singing is maybe a little like Elmore Sr.'s, but overall he has his own style--great stuff! I don't know if it's him or a sideman taking all the guitar solos, but the guitar playing is dynamite! I'm sure the slide stuff is him. BUY THIS NOW, and support the son of a legend!
