WILLIAMS ANDRE - CD FORTUNE OF HITS

Popis - FORTUNE OF HITS:
The first time the entire body of Andre Williams' Fortune recordings are brought together! This double-CD set represents square one for Andre and the trajectory on which he carved a "bad boy" rock'n'roll sensibility out of rhythm & blues. In the same way his friend Ike Turner created a modern, post-blues persona from his Mississippi to Memphis arc, Andre did so with the doo-wop genre in Detroit - a cousin of Memphis for its own unique mix of country and blues. This set contains the record that put Andre on the map, 'Bacon Fat', which was a legendary contribution to an era that mapped the land of a thousand dances, and with tracks like 'Jail Bait' also contains the stirrings of his envelope pushing sexuality. In the end 'A Fortune Of Hits' encapsulates the beginnings of Andre's legendary post-R&B and "black rock'n'roll".
The tracklist includes 'Bacon Fat', 'Jail Bait', 'Going Down To Tia Juana', 'The Greasy Chicken', 'Pass The Biscuits Please', 'Doctor Baby', 'Weekend Man', 'Mean Jean', 'Put A Chain On It', and 26 more cuts!
