REVIEWS “...the most avant-garde blues performer ever recorded. No punk rock band has ever matched the jagged, acerbic fury of the riffs Williams played 35 years ago. No rapper has approached his ability to evoke the torment of life in prison or bend language to cast an eerie spell over a chance encounter with a seductive woman.... He had never been recorded when he was discovered in Angola Penitentiary in Louisiana, convicted of murder. ”(Milo Miles, New York Times) (NOTE: this review refers to Arhoolie CD 395) |
|
“... so profoundly personal, visionary, and idiosyncratic, that his music fits none of the commonly used stylistic categories and he has few musical descendants, although everybody who ever heard him came away absolutely slack jawed that music could be so brutally honest and completely original.”
(Peter R. Aschoff, Living Blues) (NOTE: this review refers to Arhoolie CDs 394 & 395) |

|
“...one of the most unique bluesmen.... when Robert Pete Williams asks the Lord for forgiveness, laments missing his baby, or painfully yammers that his pardon was denied, you better believe him...”
(Frank Vanden Elzen, Popwatch) (NOTE: this review refers to Arhoolie CD 394 & 395) |

“...long antennae like phrases that are improvisations on life that would put many a rapper to shame.”
(Kirk Robertson, Lahontan Valley News - Fallon Eagle Standard) (NOTE: this review refers to Arhoolie CD 394 & 395) |
