...change will be evident on all of Detroit's new cars: the price. That will rise, from a modest increase of $99 for the subcompact Chevrolet Vega to an increase of $584 for the Cadillac Fleetwood limousine.

This means that he used a special open string tuning in D or G, with a metal ring of some kind on his little finger. Recently an English group led by Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac, have recorded albums in which they do exact copies of some of James' greatest songs. Also, Mike Bloomfield did some excellent slide guitar work on the first Butterfield album and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones used it on "King Bee." But these are all only weak imitations...
