CD Review

Who’s Muddy Shoes, Elmore James with John Brim and others, MCA, 1969

Well, what did you NEED to listen to here? Obviously,”Dust My Broom”. On this CD though you MUST listen to Elmore on “Who’s Muddy Shoes?” Wow, it jumps right out at you. “Madison Blues”, “Talk To Me Baby” and “Stormy Monday” round out the minimum program here. John Brim's vocals add in spots. Listen on.

"Madison Blues" Lyrics

Ahh, you babes talk about your Madison shoes

We got a thing we call the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues baby

Rock away your blues



I know a gal her name is Lindsey Lou

She told me she loved me but I know it ain't true

Put on your Madison shoes

Put on your Madison blue shoes

I got the Madison blues

Now put on your Madison blue shoes



Ahh, you cats talking about your Madison shoes

We do the thing we call the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues baby

Rock away your blues



Ah you babes talk about your Madison shoes

We got a thing we call the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues baby

Rock away your blues
