That is funny that mention rolling and tumbling,
Check out Bob Dylan's latest
"Modern Times" he covers that song.
The first time I heard the famous Elmore James riff was The Paul Butterfield blues band "Over yonders wall" that is a very long time ago with Mike Blumefield(now dead) on the guitar.

I listened to the iTunes offerings of Bob Dylan' "Modern Times"
Nice country blues renditions of various artists work. "Rolling and Tumbling" has the guitar riffs of Mr. James. Sounded good. I noticed Bob got a few shovels full of gravel in his voice, over the years. Could'nt be from yelling at his kid...the one with "The Wallflowers"...maybe Jason, or some such?
