About This Song
About "Madison Blues" by Elmore James
A jumping, juke-joint strut, 'Madison Blues' finds Elmore James swapping his usual doom for a sly, shuffling groove. The slide guitar nips and nags, a playful itch you can't scratch. It's the blues as a Saturday-night release, all swagger and sweat, the riff a grin that hides a knowing wink.
