James Williamson :: Re-Licked Leopard Lady/Sonic RendezVous

James Williamson, who was a live guitarist for legendary rock band after the release of 1970's Fun House and co-wrote 1973's with .

In 1974, Williamson began work with the group on a fourth , Re-Licked, but the record was never released. A reconstruction of that lost album comes out november 17, put together by Williamson with guest vocalists, including and Mark Lanegan.

While on a break from touring this year, the members of the live touring version of The Stooges (James Williamson, , & drummer ) got together and recorded songs that were originally penned by Iggy Pop and James Williamson in 1973/74 as the follow-up to their quintessential album Raw Power. While a number of these tracks have found their way onto inferior-sounding bootlegs and unofficial releases over the years, they were never properly recorded since the band didn’t have a record deal at the time.

Williamson always wanted to revisit these songs and has done so with a powerhouse lineup of musicians and singers who don’t disappoint on his forthcoming solo album entitled Re- Licked.

The vinyl & CD versions of this album will also feature a deluxe package including an in- depth 24-page booklet with liner notes & photos, as well as a fascinating ‘making-of’ Re- Licked documentary on DVD, giving the viewer a fly-on-the-wall experience of being in the studio with all of these great musicians. The mp3 version of the album will also include this deluxe package in digital format.
