  Elmore James is known as the “King of the Slide Guitar.” Born in the Mississippi Delta in 1918, James was inspired by local blues pioneer Robert Johnson, whose “Dust My Broom” became James’ signature song and laid the foundation for his recording career. First cut by James in August 1951, “Dust My Broom” defined his signature style: a swooping, full-octave opening figure on slide guitar. James left behind a raft of classic blues songs that influenced a legion of Chicago slide players and were a foundational influence for the 60's blues rock explosion. His songs have been cut by the likes of the Allman Brothers Band, Canned Heat Fleetwood Mac and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. “You can hear his signature riff at least once a night from every slide guitarist working,” music historian Tony Glover has written, “but no one has ever quite matched that vocal intensity, which transformed the lonesome moan of the Delta into a Chicago scream.”
