Yes, New Values is an excellent r'n'r guitar album. But, believe it or not, if the memory serves me well, Williamson just plays on one track, though, he's the album's producer. The fantastic guitarwork belongs to Scott Thurston, keyboard-man behind The Stooges, Tom Petty and Jackson Browne. (Can't guarantee this though, can't check this information at the moment.)
