| | Elmore James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | James is mentioned in the Beatles song "For You Blue." While John Lennon plays the slide guitar, James' trademark, George Harrison says "Go, Johnny, go...Elmore James got nothin' on this, baby." | | | James was also covered by Blues-Rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble many times (although usually live). | | | In 1959 he began recording what are perhaps his best sides for Bobby Robinson's Fire Records label. |

| | Elmore James - Biography |
| | Elmore’s impact on modern blues guitar was immense, and his recorded legacy stands as the yardstick for electric slide guitarists everywhere. | | | It’s said that seeing Elmore perform during this time was an “emotionally and physically draining experience.” His distant cousin and former bandmate Homesick James recounts nights when the audience, tired and sweaty, would shower the bandstand with 10 and 20 dollar bills in appreciation for the musical heat generated by the band. | | | Elmore died May 24, 1963, at the home of his friend and bandmate, Homesick James, after returning to Chicago to appear at the grand opening of disc jockey and promoter Big Bill Hill’s Copacabana Club. |

| | Dust My Broom by Elmore James Songfacts |
| | Urban legend has it that Elmore was tricked into recording the song by McMurry, though Franz' research gives a somewhat different account of the events that date - Lillian was adamant that Elmore was complicit in the recording. | | | The "Dust My Broom" motif was central to Elmore James recorded output, not only did he return to it on several occasions, the theme was well mined in his other songs. | | | His first go was on August 5th, 1951 for Lillian McMurry's Trumpet label when he was in the studio recording some tracks with Sonny Boy Williamson. |

| | However, the Biharis tracked him down early in 1954, and three songs were recorded in Clarksdale, backed by Ike Turner's band. | | | Discographies show these two titles from the first session as having been released on a Trumpet 78; however, as all reissues of these titles use the versions made at the remake session (at which Elmore James did not participate) it is doubtful if the earlier recordings were actually issued. | | | By the time Elmore was a teenager, the family had moved to Goodman, at which time a second cousin, John Junior Gueston, remembers him playing Saturday night dances in nearby Franklin, accompanying himself with a six-string guitar on numbers like Dust My Broom. |

| | The Amazing Secret History of Elmore James Book Review |
| | James was also a heavy drinker who seemed to have a certain level of contempt for his fans, berating them publicly at times, much to the dismay of others, including drummer Odie Payne, a longstanding member of The Broomdusters, Elmore's band. | | | While Elmore James often seems to have danced and boogied on the edge of a canyon (and you definitely get that impression listening to his chaotic slide guitar and impassioned voice), Franz offers far more in the way of having gathered little known facts and secrets than his personal comments suggest. | | | There are also short paragraphs on the James family, musicians that influenced or worked with Elmore, and the producers and labels responsible for distributing his original recordings. |

| | Elmore James: The Sky is Crying: The History of Elmore James - PopMatters Music Review |
| | With James, it's hard not to believe sometimes that he wanted to front a band simply because a band with horns and piano could -- in his case, would -- be louder than a band without. | | | James, who started his recording career as an electric musician fronting a full band, opted for a loud, full sound seemingly before his peers. | | | While folkies valued rough edges (at least in the abstract; Lead Belly still had to tone down his sound for his audiences of white New York intellectuals), they were also notoriously protective of the traditional, acoustic "integrity" of their music. |

| | James was a Johnson disciple, but with the advent of the electric guitar, he utterly re-created the sound. | | | Na W.O. keerde hij terug naar huis, waar hij bij verschillend 'electrische' bands samenspeelde (bands met electrische gitaren en versterkers). | | | After World War II, he returned home, playing with several electric-based bands, and like Sonny Boy 2, recorded for Trumpet Records -- Dust My Broom -- before heading off to Chicago in 1952. |

| | These guys all had their own concerns with bands they fronted, or were sidemen in, and when they got together to hit the studios, they pulled in tight for some of the heaviest Blues anyone could care to listen to. | | | "Elmore's Contribution To Jazz" is actually anything but what the title suggests; instead, it's pure slide guitar mayhem that's held together thanks to the men behind James. | | | 2 CD's of Elmore James and his brutal, in-your-face slide guitar, coupled with a squawking voice that always cut right to the chase, there's no way this could lose. |

| | Making his recording debut in 1951 with his trademark song "Dust My Broom" on the Trumpet label, James was catapulted into the national spotlight when it became a coast-to-coast R&B hit, and subsequently moved north to join the burgeoning postwar scene in Chicago. | | | Now, for the first time, there's finally a complete history of the man and his music, the beloved slide guitar legend who reputedly "never made a bad record." | | | With the formation of his supporting band, the Broomdusters, James led one of the tightest blues groups in the business, recording over 40 sides with this highly acclaimed ensemble. |

| | EMI/The Right Stuff's collection of Elmore James' recordings for Modern and RPM Records features 18 songs that capture Elmore's powerful guitar and soulful vocals. | | | In Elmore's hands, that usually means an uptempo slide guitar attack. | | | Even though that cut is not on Blues Kingpins, there's several knock-offs that are very close copies of the original, and each of them show how Elmore set fire to Johnson's original with some searing slide guitar. |
