At 7 he ran all over the southern United States in tour with them. At that time someone gave him a guitar that he soon learned to tame! At 12 he joined a band called "Old Ship of Zion" and he recorded his first album. The young James had not only talent but was particularly versatile, he began to travel, every place a band, sometimes more than one! In Birmingham he joined "The Chosen Five Singers" an with them he’d been touring around United States. Then he came back in Mississippi where played with great artists such as Little Milton, BB King, Freddie King, Little Willy and many others.
