The record
Homesick James sings and plays guitar across twelve sides, with Lafayette Leake at the piano, Clifton James on drums and Eddie Taylor credited on bass. Samuel B. Charters produced. Prestige put it in the main 7000 run as PR 7388, the jacket designed by Don Schlitten around a Ray Flerlage photograph. Titles like 'Stones In My Passway' set the tone.
