Editorial Reviews

With a mind-boggling 50-year career in the music business, 70-year old Andre Williams is showing no signs of slowing down. The original rapper and R&B performer returns to his soulful roots on "Aphrodisiac", enlisting the 'Diplomats Of Solid Sound' as his backing band on this diverse and adventurous offering. Hints of blues, rock, r&b, rap and soul fill the grooves of this release that flows seamlessly from start to finish. Andre's voice never sounded better as he tackles topics ranging from alcoholism (I'm Not Worthy), Hurricane Katrina (Three Sisters), rejection (I Can See) and love (Do You Remember). But it's also a fun masterfully produced album that will both transfix past Andre fans and new listeners. Recorded in Iowa City, IA., this is the real Andre...the real deal...from the 'Black Godfather'. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER WINNER FROM ANDRE WILLIAMS, January 12, 2007

This review is from: Aphrodisiac (Audio CD)

ANDRE WILLIAMS AMAZES ME. HE IS STILL PUTTING OUT GREAT R&B MUSIC 50 YEARS AFTER HE STARTED. THE BACKUP BAND, THE DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND, ARE JUST THAT, SOLID (WITH A REAL "FAT" SOUNDING HORN SECTION)! IF YOU ENJOYED ANY OF ANDRE'S LATTER DAY RECORDINGS SUCH AS "SILKY", "BAIT AND SWITCH", OR "THE BLACK GODFATHER', YOU WILL DEFINITELY ENJOY THIS ONE AS WELL. I ALWAYS GET A KICK OUT OF LISTENING TO ANDRE WILLIAMS.
