Various - Chicago Slide Guitar Masters - From Tampa Red To Elmore James (2008)

Playing a guitar with the aid of a bottleneck (or slide) is one of the blues’ essential traits. In Chicago, this style inspired by the great Hawaiian guitarists was dominated head and shoulders by Tampa Red (nicknamed “The Guitar Wizard”). His popular success was considerable for over three decades, and his velvet touch, evocative and languid, influenced slide guitarists (who all more or less emulated him), from Robert Nighthawk to Muddy Waters. One of them, Elmore James, would develop this style even further and, in turn, become a model for many musicians in both blues and rock.
