Let it slide

After a few days of beautiful voices and perfect timing it's time to move on to perfect timing, rough voices and mean guitar playing. A few days ago I posted some stuff of Elmore James and claimed that it was Elmore who made the slide guitar to what it is today. But.....one should always be ready to substantiate such claims. So, therefore a slide guitar posting. This compilation from 2004 offers 78 wonderful recordings which, together, give you a pretty nice idea of how slide evaluated. All the way from guys as Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly, Son House through Muddy Waters and Elmore James up to Clapton, Beck and Page. I know it is a lot of downloading (over 410 MB) but I think you'll find the effort rewarding.
