Jimmy Lee Williams in Mojo MagazineA cheap electric guitar, chicken-scratch licks, and often unintelligible
lyrics sung by a gritty moan of a voice: Yes, it really is that good. These
almost forgotten recordings by Porlan, GA.'s Jimmy Lee Williams were
captured in the late '70s and early '80s, but evoke the magic you'd find in
the work of Son House or Bukka White. Cyclical guitar figures weave
mesmerizing rhythms, while the direct soulfulness of Williams' delivery hits
you right where you live. Not every track is a gem, but his readings of
traditional tunes such as Have You Ever Seen Peaches, What Make Grandpa Love
Grandma So and Pretty Baby are enough to warrant purchase. It's like a drive
through a hot Georgia afternoon with the windows down and a bottle passed
around: a simple pleasure that mother wouldn't approve of. Reminder - Only $9
