Various Artists - Strange Angels: In Flight With Elmore James

Electric blues great Elmore James celebrated with multi-artist compilation!

This record shines a light on the many works of Mississippi-born bluesman Elmore James for a new generation.

The songs that were mainly known by James afficionados are put into hands of masterful interpreters from out of the blues, soul, country, pop and Americana arenas, as far-ranging as Tom Jones, Rodney Crowell, Keb Mo, Deborah Bonham of the rocking Bonham family, and sisters Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer.

The set reveals something fresh in the process: Elmore James contributed more than riffs and intensity to American music, he left a body of memorable, adaptable songs that can be renewed again and again in surprising ways. They're that sturdy-and no less electrifying for it.
