September 23, 2011 // 10 PMAndre Williams and The Goldstars
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 an adventurous offering. Hints of blues, rock, R&B, rap and soul fill the grooves of this release that flows seamlessly from start to finish. Andres voice never sounded better as he tackles topics ranging from alcoholism (Im Not Worthy), Hurricane Katrina (Thee Sisters), rejection (I Can See), and love (Do You Remember). But its also a fun, masterfully produced album that will transfix both past Andre fans and new listeners. Recorded in Iowa City, this is the real deal from the Black Godfather.

André Williams est un phoenix. Après une grosse poignée de hits sortis au début des années soixante sur Fortune Records notamment, label sur lequel il côtoyait Nathaniel Mayer et Nolan Strong, celui qu'on appelle Mr Rhythm tombe quelque peu dans l'oubli.
