HOMESICK JAMES
with CLIFTON JAMES drums, LAFAYETTE LEAKE piano, EDDIE TAYLOR guitar
His birth date may have been in doubt (he claimed he was born as early as 1905), but the slashing slide guitar skills of
Homesick James Williamson were never in question. Many of his most satisfying recordings placed him in solo settings,
where his timing eccentricities didn't disrupt the proceedings (though he made some fine band-backed waxings as well).
Williamson was playing guitar at age ten and soon ran away from his Tennessee home to play at fish fries and dances.
His travels took the guitarist through Mississippi and North Carolina during the 1920s, where he crossed paths
with Yank Rachell, Sleepy John Estes, Blind Boy Fuller, and Big Joe Williams

Blues on the South Side is probably the best album slide guitarist Homesick James ever laid down.
The stylistic similarities to his cousin, the great Elmore James, are obvious, but Homesick deviates
repeatedly from the form. Tough as nails with a bottleneck, he goes for the jugular on
"Goin' Down Swingin'," "Johnny Mae," and "Gotta Move," supported by pianist Lafayette Leake,
guitarist Eddie Taylor, and drummer Clifton James...(AllMusic)
