Original recordings released on the Enjoy Records label owned by producer Bobby Robbinson. Recorded in 1963.
21 re-mastered tracks all officially on CD together for the first time.
A celebration of one of the great blues statesmen.
No one could have foreseen that when slide guitar wizard Elmore James journeyed to New York in February of 63 for two sessions produced by Harlem label boss Bobby Robinson, it would mark the blues legend's final studio dates.
He was prolific, revisiting his past classics as Dust My Broom and It Hurts Me Too (which became a posthumous hit for him on Bobby's Enjoy label) as well as cutting a few titles he hadn't committed to tape before. This disc contains the great majority of the sides Elmore waxed at his historic farewell sessions, and they represent quite a final musical statement. Three months later, he was gone. from liner notes by Bill Dahl.
