Format:Audio CD
There's a kind cultural rule, the older you get the more Mantovani, James Last, Barbara Streisand and Dorris Day the musical palette becomes. Like muscle usage, priapism problems, incessant moaning and the ability to chase skirt, a lapse into senility is a one way destination, with the inevitable old people's home, bingo and flag waving the eventual outcome....
Weeeeelllll not necessarily so, thank the black godfather for that....Andre Williams the man who taught us how to shake a tailfeather, who screams how he wants it and needs it, has not found the lord at the last bugle. The scion of the back a nall is not about to get down on his knees and repent for his sins...oh no...Andre has rediscovered a fire, kept alive by Lux and Ivy, after it was surrendered by Motown to the maaaan in the 70's. Andre has taken the fire back and is cutting loose, nasty and dirty about his favorite topic...his women...
Andre likes to get his tongue firmly into the cheek and give it a little caress and then wiggle. He wants to be satisfied to his hilt. Now he has enaged some neo 60's punk troubadours to recreate the black and white worlds of desegregation in the 21st century. At last the meanings have been deciphered, the surrealism of the white art world swirling with the day to day surrealism of being black in a white man's society coupled with the LSD/Cannabis distortions. It is the onward march of the true meaning of desegregation on an emotional level rather than ticking a box...
The result is something else...the old guy who crashes the party...throws the best moves....as people back off in awe....leaving only the pritty ones left with the ability to keep up....slowly he entices with the skill of a cobra as he rolls his hips, his snake eyes hypnotising the gathered throng as the clothes drop into the centre of floor, one by one by one. You know you want to baaaabyyy... All that is left is a pile...the dancing moves from horizontal shapes to vertical moves. The godfather girates with his gals in a universe of his own distinction....this is just the invite.
It is a sonic hello from an older citizen saying there is no need to worry...some things never need to change.

Number one album to listen to while intoxicated.
31 Oct 2000
Format:Audio CD
Man, I love this record. It's the voice. I could just about care less as to the indie rock credibility he's gained by playing w/ Blues X, Compulsive Gamblers, etc. and with the Beck-like production to boot. The godfather sings like he is quite literally losing his mind. He screams like he wants the devil to come out of his body. Imagine Joe Cocker in the body of Howling Wolf on some major amphetamines in a padded room. Simple arrangements with nods to punk, surf, metal and soul permeate the background for Mr. Williams, Esq's blow torch vocals, intimations on adultery, drug-dealing, stripping, and just being a godfather. One last thing, play this album late at night with an equal amount of drunk men and women in the same room. Fun.

MR.RHYTHM IS KING!
17 May 2000
Format:Audio CD
Andre Williams follows up on his amazing 98 "Silky" (with Mick Collins and Dan Akroyd, ex-Gories) and the soft-edged 99 "Red Dirt" (with his country-band "The Sadies") with a record full of friends, fans and fellows: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Countdowns (who were his band on the 98 European Tour), the Dirtbombs, two ex-Oblivians and lots of other members of the CRYP/In The Red/SFTRI - Family. A rambling, kick-ass, dirty-as-rotten AND groovy R'n'R record that will tear you apart and will make your girlfriend RUN you coz she fell in lurve with ANDRE.

Andre Williams is THE MAN
17 Aug 2005
Format:Audio CD
boy, you just can't get any funkier nowadays then the stuff that's laid down on this CD. Buy it!. You will definitely get your money's worth. If you like Howlin' Wolf, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Captain Beefheart, then you will appreciate this music.
