Elmore James | Blues After Hours [Vinyl Album w/ 6 Bonus Trks] LP

Known as the “King of the Slide Guitar,” Elmore James was the most influential slide guitarist of the post-war period. His music went far beyond his premature death in 1963 at the age of forty-five. He was 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 one of the greatest blues albums of all-time.

“Blues After Hours, originally released on LP by Crown in 1960, was Elmore James’ first long- playing record. The crunchy garage sound of James’ arrangements coupled with his passionate edgy vocals, quickly made him one of the most influential blues artists of his time.” – AllMusic, 4.5 STARS
