 Homesick James , who recorded and toured with his cousin Elmore , also recorded a rendition titled " Crossroads " . Homesick derived his guitar style from Elmore , which music critic Bill Dahl describes as " aggressive , sometimes chaotic slide work " . Unlike Elmore , however , he uses most of the lyrics from Johnson 's second take , which had been first issued in 1961 . The July 23 , 1963 , recording session produced Homesick 's only single for Chicago @-@ based USA Records , " Crossroads " backed with " My Baby 's Sweet " .
