The King of the Slide Guitar and one of the most important Slide Guitarists ever. He learned his first song "Dust my Broom" by Robert Johnson and recorded that tune several times under different names for different labels. This is not that one, but it's a very nice song called "I Need you Baby"

@LaptopLarry330 Damn tough story bro. Thnx for sharing.

@turpinaime A better example of the power chord by Elmore James would be for his song, "Something Inside Me", which was recorded during the same session as "I Need You (Baby)" in late-1960.

@TheDutchGame He had his chance, when he was at Chess Records in 1960. They were about to give him a major push for his song, "The Sun Is Shining". The label gave him tour money, and he was supposed to provide a cut of the concert money back to the Chess Brothers. Instead, James gambled it all way, and the record label repossessed the band's station wagon while in Cleveland, Ohio for a concert. Then they fired James. Elmore then returned to the Fire Records label.
