Highlighted by sweet live tracks
Review written by John Fitzgerald, February 19th, 2005 I originally thought it was odd that "Home sweet Homesick James" started out with 4 acoustic guitar & vocal only studio tracks before moving on to the rousing live material but now that I think about it, it was best to put them there as having them mixed in or at the end may have made those tracks sound more empty after hearing some live electrics. The tracks talked of here are the slidy opener "Highway 51", "Lonesome train" which is a good boogie, the slow blues of the interestingly titled "Homesick's original dust my broom" and the up tempo shuffle of "Kissing in the dark". After this is when the live stuff kicks in and it is the next 2 tracks that feature Brunning on bass, they are the "Dust my broom" rhythmed run through of "Sweet home Chicago" and the albums best track, the driving funk of "Mailman" showcasing busy Brunning bass lines makes this one stand out above the others (though admittedly I can't tell if this one is live or not as it doesn't sound like it after hearing SHC and the albums liner notes are unclear in this area). In any event, side two is all live and though Brunning's not on these tracks, they still work well. "Shake your money maker" here is given a speedy boogie arrangement while "Dust my broom" has a gruff guitar sound. Then, there's the slip slidin' slowish stroll of "Worried about my baby" followed by the piano featured rapid shuffle of "Gotta move can't stay here no more". "Tin pan alley" is a slow burner which works musically but the vocals on this one are not very good though the lively boogie "Careless love" makes for a good closer.
Though I enjoyed the live stuff the most of the tracks here, those first four tracks should not be overlooked as this album brings out Williamson's strengths even better that the "Homesick James and Snooky Pryor" album did which is saying something as that is as equally an impressive platter as this.
