13. SLIDER McGEE, SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER (3’33”) Elmor James, (CC), Desk Mix, JC & DM, Marquee, 1996, DAT. Talk about the power of rock ‘n blues - how’s this ‘acoustic’ blues band from Ireland? Take one Zululand-raised Irishman, Cuan ‘Blow Boy’ Boake on acoustic harmonica & pair him with a relentless acoustic slide guitarist & vocalist from Belfast, Rickie ‘Slider’ Curran - with an attitude to match - and there you have power of rock that no megawatt sound system could fool. There has always been a connection between the Celtic & Zulu cultures, but just how it manifests itself in rock & blues is yet to be fully explored. Here is an unequalled version of this Elmor James classic. Elmor James is credited, because as Richard Haslop points out there are over 60 bluesmen that claim to have written this song & 20 of them are Elmor James or his brother. |
