Elmore James, Jr. And The Cadillac Zack Band

Elmore James, Jr. And The Cadillac Zack Band

The imagery was inspired by Elmore James, Senior. The broom is from the song “Dust My Broom,” which means to leave a place. That is why there is also a bluesman walking away. The rain storm at the top symbolizes the song “The Sky is Crying.” Elmore James used to repair radios; hence, the old radio.

Original painting: Gouache, pen and ink. 11” x 17”
