With the exception of Dust My Broom (Trumpet Records), most of Elmore’s well known tunes were recorded for Fire/Enjoy. I have a box set titled Something Inside Of Me:The Complete Fire-Enjoy Sessions. It includes THe Sky is Crying, It Hurts Me Too, shake Your Moneymaker, Baby Please Set A Date, and lots of others.

Your answer reminded me that there have been some men (and women too I’m sure) in more recent times who have started small labels with a focus on quality and unique voices. Hightone and Bloodshot are a couple in addition to those you mentioned. I have the original release of the Spirituals to Swing concerts -stunning! (actually they were produced by John Hammond, one of my heroes of american music)
By the way-not sure if you saw my note to you on another question. Hope all is well with you and you loved ones in hurricane alley. I believe you’re in southern Miss.?
Ross Barnett?????
Good God, do they actually have a public facility named after him?
Thank you all for your answers. I also posted this in Rock & Pop-1 answer, and R & B!!!!-No Answer!!!!!
Wish I could give you all best answer, especially my firend Kman who knows his stuff so well. I chose Melting Media because his response made me realize that there are still some with vision in the record industry. Most are at small labels, which Atlantic was in the begininng. Thumbs up for everyone.
BTW: I’m an anything black kinda girl - a huge fan of rhythm and blues, rap etc. What’s happening here?
It like labeling Catholicism as Buddhism. To someone like me who thrives on Jazz and Blues…. it sure seems that way.
