1951 50s blues

Robert Johnson originally recorded this as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" in 1936, based on the Sparks brothers' 1932 "I Believe I'll Make a Change." Elmore James' 1951 recording transformed it into the classic version, with his slide guitar adaptation of Johnson's triplet figure becoming one of the most famous blues riffs. The song has been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, Grammy Hall of Fame, and the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.
