Today we celebrate the birthday of Elmore James, blues guitarist and singer known as the King of the Slide Guitar.

James' song "Dust My Broom" (also known as "Dust My Blues") gave its name to James' band, The Broomdusters. The song's opening slide guitar riff is one of the best-known sounds in all of blues.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, send us your suggestions for songs that feature the slide guitar.

Songs played

Dust My Broom - Elmore James
Fade Into You - Mazzy Star
Catch Hell Blues - White Stripes
Slowride - Foghat
Soulful Shade of Blue - Neko Case
Statesboro Blues - Allman Brothers
