| ***The legendary lord of lascivious lyrics, the baron of badass R'n'B, the duke of dirty-ass rock'n'roll, with his disciples of sleazy soul & primitive raunch: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Countdowns, The Compulsive Gamblers, Cheater Slicks, The Dirtbombs and Stooges' Funhouse saxophonist Steve Mackay. 1999's "Silky" introduced a new generation to the Andre Williams experience, and recent converts appear to harbor an (in)appropriately insatiable appetite for all things Andre. "Lapdance", a recent Andre 12" track, has shown up as incidental music on HBO's Sopranos. Williams' live shows in the USA and Europe have turned into full-on rhythm and blues and rock and roll rave-up testimonials. Fans emerge sweaty, dazed and glassy-eyed and, somehow, cleansed by Andre's lewd, loud and licentious litany of life with the ladies. Fans, reviewers and fellow musicians all agree that Andre Williams' take on moderation is that it should be taken in moderation. Join them by experiencing "The Black Godfather" soon on a CD player or turntable near you. |
