The Sky Is Crying: Charly Blues Masterworks, Vol. 12 (1993)

A decent-sized helping of late-'50s and early-'60s sides that Elmore James cut for Bobby Robinson's Fire label. Unfortunately, nothing from James' last two Fire sessions is included here (the big omissions being "Shake Your Money Maker," "Look on Yonder Wall," and the definitive version of "It Hurts Me Too"), but there's still plenty of slide guitar to go around, and with a lot more range than you might expect, from the raunchy riffs of "Done Somebody Wrong" to the mellower, acoustic dust-my-broom treatment on "I'm Worried. ...

A decent-sized helping of late-'50s and early-'60s sides that Elmore James cut for Bobby Robinson's Fire label. Unfortunately, nothing from James' last two Fire sessions is included here (the big omissions being "Shake Your Money Maker," "Look on Yonder Wall," and the definitive version of "It Hurts Me Too"), but there's still plenty of slide guitar to go around, and with a lot more range than you might expect, from the raunchy riffs of "Done Somebody Wrong" to the mellower, acoustic dust-my-broom treatment on "I'm Worried." As a blues singer, James never really topped what he waxed for Fire, and The Sky Is Crying offers as good a sampling as anything else you can find on one CD. In addition to two killer slide instrumentals, "Bobby's Rock" and "She Done Moved Me," there's also a nice glimpse of James playing in standard tuning on "Strange Angel." If all this still doesn't satisfy you, then you'll have to seek out Capricorn's King of the Slide Guitar box set. ~ Ken Chang, Rovi Read Less
