Canada's finest live band, The Sadies, have reunited with explicit soul singer/cult legend Andre Williams for Night & Day, on Yep Roc records. Night & Day is the result of sessions that began in 2008 at Key Club Studio in Detroit and captures Andre, then 70 years old and still using at the time, at his most raw, honest, and immediate. No filter. Andre is aided by a stellar cast of musical friends, dirty bluesers who have earned the trust of the ancient hustler, including Jon Spencer (who directed these sessions) and Matt Verta-Ray of Heavy Trash,
Danny Kroha of Detroit's own gutter- blues superheroes, The Gories, the
unsinkable Mekon, Jon Langford, and of course, behind it all, The Sadies'
long-time line-up of Dallas Good on guitars and keys, his brother Travis Good on
guitars and fiddle, Mike Belitsky on drums, and the mighty Sean Dean on the
bass. The result is a raw, gritty slice of raunch rock that has attitude in
spades and the hooks and playing to back it up. Night & Day, indeed. There
is wisdom in these grooves.
