James Williamson was the raw powerhouse guitar on The Stooges’ third album, Raw Power. He also played tremendous guitar on the underrated Iggy solo album, New Values.

Check out Williamson’s new album, Re-Licked, which is out now, and which finds Williamson remaking a bunch of Stooges songs that were never released with a bunch of great vocalists: Jello Biafra, Mark Lanegan, Alison Mosshart, Ariel Pink, The Orwell’s Mario Cuomo, The BellRays’ Lisa Kekaula, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, The Icarus Line’s Joe Cardamone and Carolyn Wonderland.
