Thereafter, Williams' aunts raised the precocious lad, who had already become quite the… Read more in Amazon's Andre Williams Store

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Andre Williams is a legend in Detroit. He worked for and was fired from Tamla/Motown several times! Performer, composer, A&R, producer... he worked with names such as Mary Wells, Stevie Wonder, The Dramatics, The Chi-Lites, Ike & Tina Turner, and Funkadelic! During the last decade, he has recorded for prestigious alternative labels like Norton, In The Red, and Bloodshot, and has seen his career go up again after decades of obscurity. He has been touring relentlessly all this time, and getting applause and recognition by both audiences and fellow musicians (Jon Spencer, Mick Collins, etc.) who adore his tough and dirty approach to R&B. We proudly present a fantastic anthology featuring all his most greasy Soul and Funk cuts from the '50s, '60s and '70s, taken from the vaults of several labels (Fortune, Avin, Sport, Wingate, Ric-Tic, Checker, Chess etc.) plus a good number of previously un-released tracks. Vampi. 2006.

4.0 out of 5 stars BEST OVERALL COMPILATION, November 1, 2007
By COMPUTERJAZZMAN "computerjazzman" (Cliffside Park, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
THIS CD CONTAINS ANDRE WILLIAMS RELEASES FROM THE 50'S UP UNTIL 1970 (1956-1970). I HAVE OTHER COMPILATIONS OF HIS EARLY MUSIC, THE CDS "RED BEANS AND BISQUITS", AND "RIB TIPS AND PIG SNOOTS", BUT THIS ONE HAS HIS EARLIEST STUFF AND INCLUDES THE BEST SONGS FROM THOSE COMPILATIONS. AS A PERFORMER, ANDRE WILLIAMS WAS NEVER IN THE MAINSTREAM, BUT RECORDED A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC, FROM HIS "NOVELTY" TYPE SONGS (BACON FAT, THE GREASY CHICKEN"), TO THE DEEP HEAVY SOUL STUFF. YOU WILL NEVER FIND A TOP 40'S OLDIES STATION PLAYING ANY SONGS WITH TITLES LIKE "CHICKEN THIGHS", "JIVIN' AROUND" (ALSO KNOWN AS "THE SNATCH"), OR "HUMPIN' BUMPIN' AND THUMPIN". ANDRE WILLIAMS BECAME A HOMELESS PERSON AND A CRACK ADDICT, BUT RETURNED TRIUMPHANTLY TO RECORD SOME GREAT STUFF OVER THE LAST TEN OR SO YEARS.
