I was on YouTube looking for a good clip of people doing 'the Madison' to post as a bulletin on my Myspace page - didn't find one, but it remind me of the great Elmore James and his take on the Madison, 'Madison Blues'. Pretty darn irresistable, eh? If I didn't have my right foot in a cast right now, I'd be up doing the Madison...

Elmore recorded in an era when very few 'Blues' artists recorded LP's. The only LP released in his lifetime (in 1961) was a budget compilation of old singles recorded by the Bihari Brothers (in common with Howlin' Wolf & BB King) - Blues After Hours (Crown 5168) this was re-released several times subsequent to his death.
It Hurts Me Too was recorded in 1957 - Elmore's Contribution To Jazz (Chief 7004)

This number is not mentioned as much as others with respect to Elmore James but I enjoy it just as much.
This should be required listening, Oh and by the way this is my way of teasing to get responses. Miscommunication is so easy on blogs.
