LP Review: Andre Williams – I Wanna Go Back To Detroit City

Kayleigh Hinsley · June 09 2016

Andre Williams releases brand new Detroit-inspired LP, I Wanna Go Back To Detroit City.


The new album from the legendary Andre Williams, famous for songs like “Bacon Fat” and “Jailbait”, is an instant classic. The record opens with the title track, “I Wanna Go Back To Detroit City”, which uses layers of vocals to create the perfect doo-wop sound. Throughout the album, Andre’s lyrics tell deeply personal yet often universally relatable stories, set on top of a series of powerful and enchanting grooves. A particular highlight on the album is “Hall Of Fame”, a song addressed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame telling them just what they can do, while smoothly running through some of Andre’s achievements. With yet another great recording to add to his already impressive discography, Williams more than proves that even if he’s never invited to the Hall of Fame, he’s definitely still a winner.
