Part of the George Mitchell collection and Fat Possum’s series of 25th Anniversary reissues.

First time on vinyl.

Jimmy Lee Williams lived his entire life in Poulan, GA as a peanut farmer and juke joint rocker. He was pretty much unknown to everyone outside of his town and farming community until musicologist George Mitchell discovered and recorded Williams on his farm in the late 1970s. He wasn’t admired until ten years after his death.

Williams had the ability to fill an entire room with just his guitar and voice, exchanging the parts where he doesn’t sing with humming and cooing. His train chugging rhythm is very similar to Bukka White, yet with its own distinctive style. Sometimes you really do have to let your backbone ease and hoot your belly.
