Silky

Amazon.com
Williams made his nickname of "Mr. Rhythm" by talking his way through a series of fun, creepy, sleazy-sounding R&B records back in the '50s. The 1998 Silky is a lot more, uh, explicit (there's a big difference between "Bacon Fat" and "Let Me Put It In"), and Williams sometimes sounds unconvinced by the words he's drawling, though his torn-up purr slyly makes the point of "Only Black Man In South Dakota." The band behind him--a group of garage rock all-stars including members of the Gories and Demolition Doll-Rods--is terrific, backing him up with an echoey multi-guitar roar that's nothing like what he used in his R&B days, but suits his rasp nicely. --Douglas Wolk

Still sounds great after all these years........2007-03-12

At a time when REAL Soul Music appeared to be going into decline, Frankie Beverly and Maze released this wonderful CD which was very well received. By itself, the gorgeous "Can't Get Over You" justifies buying the CD but there are other great songs here as well. Frankie Beverly is most certainly one of the greatest Soul singers of our time--but he is also criminally underrated. A classic CD to enjoy time and again (nearly 20 years after its original release it still sounds great!).

Silky Soul..........2007-02-03

Saw "Can't Get Over You" on cable, ordered the CD the next day. That's how much the song moved me. Fine work from Mr. Beverly! Five stars!!

Silky Soul.......2004-02-24

Silky Soul is a must have for any Maze lover. The songs and the music is so true to the silky style of Maze/Featuring Frankie Beverly. Some of the most soulful and sweetest lyrics I've ever been exposed to.

silky soul indeed.......2001-02-09

Maze featuring Frankie Beverly is unique soulful jazzy music that is not going to win over many Brittany Spears fans but should please anyone who likes well arranged funky 80's soul.Their somewhat Miles Davis like horn player really sounds superb on this release.The song "Mandela" is my favourite track being a harmonious call to release the then imprisoned South African leader with Beverlys' voice sounding passionate and emotive next to a beautiful chorus of backup singers.Joy and Pain is for me their finest hour, however this C.D.contains some fine moments also in spite of other reviews disparaging their mid 80's output.

A Deceptive Rerelease of Sanctuary of Rejunvenation.......2005-05-28

I've purchased many of Aeoliah's CD. I am incensed to find that Serene is identical in every way to "Sanctuary of Rejuvenation" except the cover art! Buyers be warned if you already own "Sanctuary of Rejuvenation." That said, if you like a restful slow bath of warm sound, this will provide it.

not for people with weak hearts.......2005-08-17

if you do not like to hear "raw" music, then don't buy this CD. But if you want to hear something different, then buy it. I like it, it kind of grows on you (but not like a fungus, but almost). This is about as uncommercial as it gets, I'm surprised anybody besides me actually wants to hear this, but it's good. i particularly like the cut 'Bring Me Back My Car Unstripped (Mother******)" and "Car With The Star".

raving mad and depraved brilliance.......2004-01-02

Andre Williams has survived more than most of us ever will. In the 50s and 60s he worked on the fringes of the rock/R&B field, issuing sleazy records like "Bacon Fat" and "Greasy Chicken," and working as a producer. A stint in Ike Turner's post-Tina band helped him acquire a severe drinking and crack habit that landed him on the street. He struggled back from addiction and began making records again in the 90s.

Far from being 50s R&B records, Williams' current CD's are skull-cracking exercises in the kind of depravity that the late Screamin' Jay Hawkins used to indulge in. "Silky" is a triumphant, raging comeback of filthy-minded (and filthy-mouthed) garage rock that sounds like the musical equivalent of the wildest night you ever had, multiplied by 10. He drawls and growls his way through songs like "P*ssy Stank," "Bring Me Back My Car Unstripped," and the frankly frightening "Agile, Mobile and Hostile," with impressive panache, especially considering he's 65 years old. This is music to get drunk and pick up strippers and steal a firetruck and rob a bank to.

Back in the day, there used to be preachers who would refer to rock and roll as the Devil's music. Andre Williams' "Silky" is exactly what they had in mind. Listen now, repent later.

Another badly produced album spoils a great artist.......2000-07-23

Like Williams' other recent CD, RED DIRT, this is so badly produced, you have a hard time hearing some of the lyrics--which are the whole point of the exercise. Massively loud, bad guitar work hammers the rest of the mix. (Surprise: The guitarist did dual duty as the "producer" of this mess.) Andre Williams needs to dump these clowns and get the kind of professional production he enjoyed in the 1950s.

Raw, raunchy and excellent.......2000-07-14

This is one of the greatest garage rock n' roll albums EVER! For fans of Andre's early work as well as fans of the Cramps, Blues Explosion, Gories, ect. Mr. Rhythm is king!

Good Lord, what he gets away with.......2000-05-03

"Silky" is actually a garage-rock effort, pretty far removed from Andre's R&B roots. But it's also the greatest garage-rock album of the '90s, and would have fit right alongside the Gories on the Crypt Records roster of the decade. For a 60+-year-old man, Andre's mind is strictly in the juvenile gutter, but at least he's a talented exhibitionist. References to sex (all types) abound, albeit with comparitively little obscenity. Two cuts especially, the obvious "Let Me Put It In" and the jealously apocalyptic "Everybody Knew," make him sound like he's in physical pain. He growls, huffs, and doesn't give a damn what you think. What more could you ask?

Exciting and heeling!.......2006-03-02

I've been to Mike Dowling's show only once in Tokyo. His music is always exciting and heeling. I prefer a real acoustic music and Mike's music is a real one. the sound of his guitars coming from his CDs is always natural. All the tunes in Blue Fandango are really my favorites. Good old American music I've been fond of since I was a small kid.

Another blockbuster by Mike.......2006-01-26

I have every recording Mike has ever done and Blue Fandango ranks up there as one of my favorites. Along the lines of his "Swamp Dog Blues" album, this one is a great mix of songs and instrumentals that never ceases to inspire and move me. Silky smooth vocals and top shelf guitar playing.

consmate guitar.......2005-06-18

This is a great album. I fully agree with the other review. If your taste is solo acoustic swing/blues guitar, this cd definitely a must have. This guy can play!

review of Mike Dowling's "Blue Fandango".......2005-05-26

This is an absolute "must-have" for anyone who appreciates tasteful acoustic songs and guitar instrumentals. Mike Dowling is an absolute master in the genres of swing, blues, and traditional american roots songs. This is the sweetest CD that I've bought this year, and I buy lots of albums!! The album is very diverse - from velvety bottleneck slide playing, to punchy rags, to latin rythym, with relaxed and soulful singing. Give yourself a gift of this album.

A voice from heaven.......2006-12-13

Why she is not nationally distributed, I don't know. The perfect voice for jazz. She needs to put out another CD soon.

Beautiful Standards, beautifully done.......2006-09-12

Just heard Start Eyes on radioiojazz.com - very well done.
I'm just not sure why the previous reviewer - who said very nice things about this CD in his/her review - only gave it one star?
typo, maybe?
I'll give it FIVE!

Like pearls and rubys, Miss Nurullah's standards are beautifully set........2006-06-28

I just gave "Your My Thrill" a spin on my NPR jazz programme, Classic Jazz and Swing (Capital Public Radio out of Sacramento, CA.) Had many calls about the tune and the artist. She handles standards in a way that remains true to the music as written, yet refreshingly her own. It's a joy in radio to find a voice the does not sound like someone else. Her phrasing is subtle, just lovely. Other delights on this recording include her renditions of Bernice Petkere's "Lullaby of the Leaves", and that Fred Astaire RKO Radio picture song hit "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket" from the never ending Irving Berlin song book. Delightful.

The Conquering Lion.......2004-09-22

Conquering Lion Garnett Silk, one of Jamaica's most prominent singers of all time since Bob Marley. Even though his untimely passing, Garnett has left us with a string of hits to commemorate him. Known for his silky smooth voice and concious lyrics, Garnett delivers his amazing talents on this cd. Garnett and friends give us a treat with "Let Them Talk." Other great songs on the cd are "So Divine" "Your Gonna Need Love" "Fill Us Up With Your Mercy."

For more Garnett Silk, check out "Strictly the Best 12 - Kingley Character" "Reggae Gold 92 - Hello Mama Africa" "Killamanjaro Remembers Garnett Silk" "Love is the Answer - Fight Back w/Ritchie Stevens" "The Definitive Collection" and "100% Silk"

PS: Conquering Lion with the heart of a Lamb, may your soul Rest In Peace. Sing on Garnett. Sing On. Love Always. Forver Garnett Silk.

Speechless.......1999-03-24

Have you ever wanted to hear music that you know the person is singing from the bottom of their heart and putting everything they have in it? Garnett Silk can sing to me all night long. He is one of the best reggae artists i have heard in my life. Rest in Peace!
