He crossed paths with the legendary Robert Johnson and learned the now legendary songs such as 'Dust My Broom' and 'Standing At The Crossroads', both of which are featured here. He became known as the \"King Of the Slide Guitar\" playing his modified - electrified - acoustic which he fashioned in his brothers workshop. He began recording soon after, scoring a top-tn R\u0026amp;B hit with 'Dust My Broom' on Trumpet. His final recordings were cut for Bobby Robinson's Fire and Enjoy labels in the late '50s and early '60s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobinson later recalled, \"I drove by a club on the South side (of Chicago) and saw a sign that read Elmore James Here Tonight. I went inside and stayed all night listening to him. I introduced myself, we went out for a bite to eat and I talked about recording. The next morning Elmore called his band together for a rehearsal. I remember that it was raining all day long, and I said to Elmore, 'Man, it's just pouring down rain.' And Elmore says, 'Yeah, it looks like the sky is crying.' I said 'That's a great idea.' We started writing 'The Sky Is Crying' and cut it there in Chicago with Elmore's band the Broomdusters) that very day.\" It would be Elmo's last chart hit, #15 R\u0026amp;B, before his death in 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Sky Is Crying\u003cbr\u003e2 Dust My Broom\u003cbr\u003e3 I Held My Baby\u003cbr\u003e4 Fine Little Mama\u003cbr\u003e5 Bobbie's Rock\u003cbr\u003e6 I Can't Stop Lovin' You\u003cbr\u003e7 I Done Somebody Wrong\u003cbr\u003e8 Rollin' and Tumblin'\u003cbr\u003e9 One Way Out\u003cbr\u003e10 My Bleeding Heart\u003cbr\u003e11 I'm Worried\u003cbr\u003e12 Standing at the Crossroads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53465646432595,"sku":"CHAY687.1","price":4.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/sky.jpg?v=1776045675","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/james-elmo-sky-is-crying-5060767441237","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
