I found Elmore James like most of you probably did, from listening to the Allman Brothers Band live at the Fillmore. The Fillmore album has to be one of the most significant contemporary blues albums ever cut having introduced an entire generation of listeners to the sound of the original blues. Sure there were other players out there especially from England like John Mayall and eric Clapton, Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, but in America... it was the Allmans.
Elmore James (January 27, 1918 – May 24, 1963) was an American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and band leader. He was known as "the King of the Slide Guitar" and had a unique guitar style, noted for his use of loud amplification and his stirring voice.
