 Actually both sides are credited as being performed by Elmo James, but the B-side was sung and played by Bobo Thomas, see joehilllouis' comment of 29th Jan 2013.

 Well known Robert Johnson riff electrified by Elmore James in 1951
Played by 15423 bar bands since,

B side by Bobo Thomas though not named on the record.

Catfish blues - Composed by Robert Petway

This is the only recording ever made by Bobo Thomas. Legend has it that Lillian McMurtry of Trumpet Records recorded this song by him and then loaned him a guitar and amplifier to take home and practice with in order to come back the next day and record some more. Bobo didn't come back. Stories vary as to whether or not Mrs.McMurtry's equipment was ever recovered, but apparantly Bobo disappeared. The original pressing of the Trumpet 78 has "Dust My Broom" by Elmore James on the other side. Both sides were billed as "Elmo James".

Andrew "Bobo" Thomas: Vocals & Guitar

Sonny Boy Williamson II: Harmonica

Leonard Ware: Bass

Recorded in Jackson, MS. July 24, 1951

Originally issued on Trumpet 146 (78 RPM)
(Note: Some copies were pressed as Trumpet 143)
