Elmore James – Blues After Hours + 6 Bonus Tracks – LP

Known as the “King of the Slide Guitar,” Elmore James was the most influential slide guitarist of the postwar period. His music went far beyond his untimely death in 1963 at the age of 45. He has been credited with helping to invent blues rock and his style influenced a generation of blues-rock players like Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Duane Allman, and The Rolling Stones. Blues After Hours was James’ debut album, and it’s one of the all-time cornerstones of the blues.
