 Homesick James Williamson : Got to Move - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Unlike a lot of his more prolific contemporaries, Williamson hasn't had a slew of titles released by numerous labels, making the task of finding a Homesick James album (new or used) a daunting search for excellence.

Aside from Levine's lively runs on the ivories, the band mostly sits back and lets Williamson do his thing, swinging a mean axe as one of the most underrated slide guitarists in the blues.

 CPR: Swirling Crosswinds: Alan Williamson by James Rother   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
That last observation is true as well of Williamson’s approach to poetic realization, which on the rudimentary level of technique seems to favor proximate versions of the Virgilian hexameter (quantitative verse’s rough approximation of “so many words,” so many pedes, or feet).
To his not infrequent detriment as a poet, Williamson, hard-wired to be always looking ahead, is forever peering into the concavity of his own emerging articulations to obtain a fix on where it must all go next.
To make such demands of Williamson’s pullulating discursiveness is, however, to misconstrue what he and his poems are about as they do the autumnals of Eden-in-receivership the way Debbie did Dallas (or one truncated to Deb, Pavese) in a version more explicit of that fall.
