Homesick James Williamson (with noted possible relation to Sonny Boy) is one of those guys one doesn't automatically think of when considering Chicago blues, but eventually you work your way around to him. Got to Move was originally released in 1995, and rereleased (according to the liner notes) when the master was rescued from the wreckage of Hurricane Floyd. However it happened, it's worth hearing this, partly because it's a good reminder of the roots of Chicago blues and partly just because it's good. Williamson was well into his 80s when this was recorded, and his somewhat muddied vocals reflect his age, but his guitar hand is as steady as ever; there's some great picking on "Tin Pan Alley" and "Tennessee Woman." Like his cousin Elmore James, Williamson's also a handy man with a bottleneck; excellent slide work is featured on "Hawaiian Boogie" and "Got to Move." Unpretentious and rock solid, Got to Move combines the best of roots and Chicago blues. --Genevieve Williams
