It is a solo performance in the Delta blues-style with Johnson's vocal accompanied by his acoustic guitar. As with many of his songs, it is based on earlier blues songs, the earliest of which has been identified as "I Believe I'll Make a Change", recorded by the Sparks brothers as "Pinetop and Lindberg" in 1932. Johnson's guitar work features an early use of a boogie rhythm pattern, which is seen as a major innovation, as well as a repeating triplets figure. "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" was issued before blues records were tracked by recording industry trade publications and, as with most of Johnson's recordings, has not been otherwise identified as a big seller at the time. However, it is Elmore James' 1951 recording as "Dust My Broom" that "made it the classic as we know it". James' slide-guitar adaptation of Johnson's triplet figure has been identified as one of the most famous blues-guitar riffs and has inspired many rock performers. The song has become a blues standard, with numerous renditions by a variety of musicians and was inducted into the Blues Foundation Blues Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame.. }
