This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Legendary, lascivious lunatic Andrew Williams — if you haven’t heard him, imagine Screamin’ Jay Hawkins on a three-day bender — trades his R&B shouter cap for a C&W Stetson on Red Dirt. And believe me, he isn’t talking through his hat.
Teaming up with Toronto sibling-led spaghetti-surf twangmeisters The Sadies, Williams kicks holy hell out of both kinds of music — country AND western — with a set of typically deranged originals (My Sister Stole My Woman) and equally twisted country classics (Johnny Paycheck’s Pardon Me, I’ve Got Someone To Kill). Take it from me: Nobody has ever been more qualified to ask, “You think I’m psycho, don’t you mama?” Hats off.
