		James was born Elmore Brooks in Richland, Mississippi, 50 miles north of Jackson (not to be confused with another Richland just south of Jackson).
		Elmore James died of his third heart attack in Chicago in 1963, already a major influence on guitarists such as The Rolling Stones' Brian Jones.

		Elmore was also one of the first "guest stars" on the popular King Biscuit Time radio show on KFFA in Helena, AL, also doing stints on the Talaho Syrup show on Yazoo City's WAZF and the Hadacol show on KWEM in West Memphis.
		This period of activity found Elmore assembling the nucleus of his great band the Broomdusters and several fine recordings were issued over the next few years on a plethora of the Bihari Brothers'owned labels with several of them charting and most all of them becoming certified blues classics.
		Elmore James may not have lived to reap the rewards of the blues revival, but his music and influence continues to resonate.

	Blues Kingpins
		James and harpist Rice Miller-renowned throughout the fertile Delta as Sonny Boy Williamson despite the existence of another harmonica ace by the same name up in Chicago--worked as a duo during the late '30s, but the guitarist's musical pursuits were interrupted when he was drafted into the U.S. Navy in 1943.
		Elmore's last offering on Flair from the same session paired the similarly insistent "Blues Before Sunrise" with a comparatively mellow "Good Bye," the latter marking the first--and in all likelihood, the last--time the harmonies of a doo-woppish vocal group cushioned James' rough-edged vocal delivery (somehow it didn't come off as sounding incongruous).
		James was rooming with Homesick and his family when a final heart attack fatally felled him on the evening of May 24, 1963.

		Elmore James is often considered a one-riff boogie king, but that is actually very unfair, as this collection shows.
		Elmore James and the Broomdusters played tough, hard-rocking electric blues, all howling slide guitar, clanging piano, and J.T. Brown blowing the sax, and Elmore's loud, anguished vocals made him one of the best and most awesome blues singers of the 50s.
		On it you'll hear some of Elmore's seminal early work, produced by Joe Bihari (the same guy who produced all the early B.B. King and Howlin' Wolf sides), and originally issued on the great Modern label, and its subsidiaries Flair and Meteor.
