Bloodshot Records is an independent record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Since its founding in 1993 by Nan Warshaw, Rob Miller, and Eric Babcock, the label has been a pioneer in roots-infused indie rock, punk rock, and alternative country music.

Over the years, Bloodshot Records has gained recognition for its diverse roster of talented artists and their unique sound. The label saw some changes with Babcock's departure in 1997 and Warshaw's exit in 2019. However, it continued to thrive until briefly closing its doors in 2021.

Fortunately, on October 23rd, 2021, Bloodshot Records was acquired by a new owner and made a triumphant return to the music scene. After lying dormant for some time, the label announced exciting plans for upcoming releases. One such release is from *Layng Martine Jr.*, set to debut in May 2023.

Andre Williams (November 1, 1936 - March 17th, 2019) was an American R&B musician who started his career in the 1950s at Fortune Records in Detroit. Known as "Mr. Rhythm," he recorded over 200 songs and co-authored the R&B hit "Shake a Tail Feather." With famous hits like "Jail Bait," "Greasy Chicken," and "Bacon Fat," Williams became a renowned producer and songwriter for bands like *The Dirtbombs* and *Compulsive Gamblers*. Despite facing personal struggles in the 1980s, he made a comeback in the late 1990s with albums such as "Greasy" and "The Black Godfather."

Williams' unique style and risqué lyrics set him apart from other musicians of his time. He collaborated with talented performers including *Billy Childish* and *Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds*, composing memorable tunes like "Cadillac Jack" and "Funky Judge." His music resonated with audiences who appreciated his raw energy.

Inspired by artists like *Heavy Trash* and *The Gories*, Andre Williams left an indelible mark on the music industry. His influence can be heard in bands such as *Thee Headcoats* and *Reigning Sound*. With a discography that spans decades, Williams will always be remembered as a true pioneer of rhythm and blues

At 79 years old, Andre 'Mr Rhythm' Williams has been a singer, writer, producer, star-maker, showman, cult hero and hustler for six decades. He's been high, and he's been low. He's toured the world in snazzy suits and lived on the streets asking for change. For 'I Wanna Go Back To Detroit City', his fifth album for Bloodshot Records, he wanted to return to his adopted hometown of Detroit - a town that's seen peaks and valleys just like Andre; from hustle and bustle to bust, from drinking out of crystal to drinking out of brown paper. Here, the living legend is joined by a who's-who of Detroit's finest, including Dennis Coffey (Funk Brothers), Matthew Smith (Outrageous Cherry, Rodriguez), Dan Kroha (Gories, Demolition Doll Rods), and Jim White (Dirty Three, Cat Power) for a study in slow burning, slinky, psychedelic slow. LP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Download.
