Review by Bill Dahl
Blues on the South Side is probably the best album slide guitarist Homesick James ever laid down (originally for Prestige in 1964). The stylistic similarities to his cousin, the great Elmore James, are obvious, but Homesick deviates repeatedly from the form. Tough as nails with a bottleneck, he goes for the jugular on "Goin' Down Swingin'," "Johnny Mae," and "Gotta Move," supported by pianist Lafayette Leake, guitarist Eddie Taylor, and drummer Clifton James.

Reseña de Bill Dahl
Blues on the South Side es probablemente el mejor álbum que el guitarrista Homesick James haya grabado (originalmente para Prestige en 1964). Las similitudes estilísticas con su primo, el gran Elmore James, son obvias, pero Homesick se desvía repetidamente de la forma. Duro como un clavo con un cuello de botella, va a la yugular en "Goin' Down Swingin'", "Johnny Mae" y "Gotta Move", apoyado por el pianista Lafayette Leake, el guitarrista Eddie Taylor y el baterista Clifton James.
