Shake your Money Maker

Wikipedia 
"Shake Your Moneymaker" or "Shake Your Money Maker" is a song recorded by Elmore James in 1961 that has become a standard of the blues. Inspired by earlier songs, it has been interpreted and recorded by several blues and other artists. "Shake Your Moneymaker" is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll"

Elmore James - Dust My Broom

Elmore James (vocals, guitar); Leonard Ware (bass); Frock O'Dell (drums); Sonny Boy Williamson (harmonica)songfacts

Elmore was known as The King of the Slide Guitar and he had a unique guitar style, he was noted for his use of loud amplification and his stirring voice.

There is a long and learned article in Wikipedia, I like

The most famous guitarist who admired Elmore James was Jimi Hendrix. Early in his career Jimi styled himself variously as 'Maurice James' and subsequently as 'Jimmy James'
James is mentioned in The Beatles' song "For You Blue": while John Lennon plays the slide guitar (James' trademark), George Harrison says, "Elmore James got nothin' on this, baby."

Early Blue 'Fleetwood Mac'



Yes! In the late 1960s, Green fronted Fleetwood Mac when the band played a hard blues-rock sound, prior to the more soft rock sound for which it became known by the 1970s



One of my ALL time favourite records
