James Williamson

James Williamson is best known as the guitarist for The Stooges, bringing raw, high-energy riffs to the band's iconic 1973 album *Raw Power*. His searing guitar sound became a defining element of punk rock, influencing generations of musicians. After The Stooges' initial run, Williamson stepped away from music for a successful career in technology, eventually becoming a vice president at Sony. He later returned to performing and recording, releasing solo work and collaborations, including *Re-Licked* and *Two to One* with Deniz Tek. His legacy as a trailblazer in rock remains firmly intact.
