Timeline

1980

"I got an album called “In the Beginning” and I learned every note on it, which was easier to do because it was early on in his career [it was recorded in 1980]. I learned all those notes and it opened me up to the blues. When you look what he was doing, a lot of it was covers, and then you go back and start listening to those guys -- the originals Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Collins -- those influences changed me, too."

Other influences cited in the article are southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pearl Jam.

James was a contestant on American Idol during its ninth season.

1982

Casey Everett James (born May 31, 1982) is an American singer and guitarist who was the third-place finalist on the ninth season of American Idol and is an independent recording artist.

James was born on May 31, 1982, in Plano, Texas, to Debra "Bybee" and Beau James.

The family moved to Princeton, Texas, but after his parents divorced when James was about four, his mother raised him and his brother Billy Cole in Cool, Texas.

James had a bad reaction to his pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine when he was an infant, and his family feared brain damage.

According to his mother, however, she realized that he would be all right and was going to be musical when he started humming the theme song from M*A*S*H.

James started playing the guitar at 13 and within a year was playing on stage.

James has played acoustic sets with his mother, and blues with his older brother.

He has also played with country and rock bands.

At the age of 21, he was in a serious motorcycle accident that nearly ended his life.

During the American Idol hometown visits, James returned to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries and presented an autographed guitar to his surgeon, Dr. Cory Collinge.
