Plant Records!

(For a bit of fun, every Friday our Plant Records Manager, Chris Bisson, the guy who maintains all the recorded information on our plant collections, will do a regular blog slot where he recommends his favourite “plant records” – that is, songs that are in some way linked to a plant. (Do you see what we did there?) )

‘Dust My Broom’ – Elmore James (1951)

Broom or Cytisus is a beautiful shrub, with golden yellow flowers and stems that look devoid of leaves. As a member of the Legume Family this plants seed pods can be heard popping in the summer, but should be putting on a splendid flower show in the next few months.

Elmore James or The King of the Slide Guitar as he was also known, is a legend in his own right influencing masses of modern day guitarists the world over. Dust My Broom was his first ever single released in 1951.

Enjoy the weekend!
