BEST OVERALL COMPILATION
COMPUTERJAZZMAN | Cliffside Park, New Jersey United States | 11/01/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"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."
