Hoods and Shades

VINYL FORMAT. Andre "Mr. Rhythm" Williams is a perfect study in the mysterious, multifaceted power of music. Throughout his 50+ year career as a performer, songwriter, and producer, he has seen how music can define the individual, how music is widely perceived, how it can alter a soul for better or worse, and now how it can simply be used to describe things you just don't understand – the overriding theme of this release.
As the story goes: during the summer of 2010, Andre got together with his "Detroit boys" to record, as he called it, "the Andre Williams folk album." Hoods and Shades is the result, nine songs created by music roadmen led by THE music roadman. The album plays out like an afternoon hangout among music peers, speaking of experiences through their instruments, dynamic stylings, and overall touch.
