Jesse Come Home


Jesse Come Home is the ninth and final studio album by James Gang, released in 1976. This album is the only one recorded with lead guitarist Bob Webb and keyboardist Phil Giallombardo. The title Jesse Come Home refers to one of the band's namesakes, Jesse James. The band broke up in 1977, though they have reunited with classic bandmate Joe Walsh several times since then.
Wounded Bird Records has released Jesse Come Home and its predecessor Newborn together on one compact disc.

Critical reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that Jesse Come Home "was the James Gang's final album, and it's not too difficult to see why. Ignoring the group's continuing failure to write strong songs, the main problem of the album lies in the bland, uninspired playing of the entire group."
