by Richie UnterbergerA well-respected Louisiana guitarist who never became known outside of the region and never really established himself as a solo artist. James recorded some solo tracks in the late 60s that were very much in the Tony Joe White/(Pork Salad Annie) mold: low, half-spoken vocals over spidery, bluesy guitar licks and a basic R&B/pop groove. Apparently he didnt have any ambitions for himself as a singer, and was more content to work as a sideman, playing on singles by regional artists like Tommy McLain, Rockin Sidney, and others. He didnt do much recording after the early 1970s; a posthumous import collection of his work as a solo artist and sideman appeared in 1996.
