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".
