Born in 1919, Mississippi's Elmore Brooks took his father's last name and became arguably the most influential slide blues guitar player of the post-war era. As a sideman for Sonny Boy Williamson II (a/k/a/ Rice Miller), James' would write several songs made popular by Williamson including Look Over Yonder Wall and One Way Out. After serving in the military, stationed in Guam, like many from the agricultural south, James' moved north to Chicago and recorded most of his iconic songs for the Modern Recording label. James died in 1963 from a long-term heart ailment.
