{"title":"Elmore James Vinyl Records Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003eElmore James was an American blues guitarist, singer and songwriter whose electrifying slide guitar helped shape the sound of modern blues and blues rock. Born in Mississippi in 1918, he transformed Delta blues traditions into a louder, amplified style during the 1950s and early 1960s. Known as the King of the Slide Guitar, James paired his instantly recognisable guitar attack with an intense vocal delivery, influencing generations of blues and rock guitarists who followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Heathen Records, we stock a growing selection of \u003cstrong\u003eElmore James vinyl records in Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e, including classic recordings and collections spanning his influential career.
