09 Shake Your Moneymaker (Lil' Ed on voc)

(2:37) (Elmore James)

featuring Lil' Ed (voc, guitar) and Kenny Smith (drums)

"Lil' Ed is likely now Chicago's top traditional blues slide guitarist. He was tutored on slide by his late uncle, the great J.B. Hutto; in addition to blistering bottleneck riffs, the two also shared a propensity for hair-raising vocals. When Johnny and company attack Elmore James' slashing "Shake Your Moneymaker" (Johnny "Big Moose" Walker laid down a righteous piano racket on the '61 original), the houserocker is right in Ed's rowdy goodtime wheelhouse, driven by Iguana's boogie-fired 88s."- Bill Dahl, liners
