It's Elmore James, a well-known blues slide guitarist.  One of his best
known cuts is "Dust My Broom."

Obviously this in reference to John's slide guitar solo.  I hear the
words as "Elmore James got nothing on this, baby."

Interesting quote:

"I practiced twelve hours a day, every day, until my fingers were
bleeding, trying to get the same sound as Elmore James. This went on
for
weeks and weeks, and finally someone told me, 'He plays with a slide.'"
    - Robbie Robertson (guitarist for The Band)
