James Williamson - Re Licked

Review by Ajeet Singh Baddan

Re Licked by James Williamson is an album that showcases the former Stooges guitarist's talent in creating new versions of classic Iggy Pop songs. The album features a range of guest vocalists, including Jello Biafra, Lisa Kekaula, and Mark Lanegan, who add their unique styles to the tracks.

The album kicks off with "Head On The Curve," featuring vocals by Carolyn Wonderland, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs are raw and edgy, with Williamson's guitar work shining through in each track. The album also features some lesser-known Iggy Pop tracks, such as "I Got A Right" and "Open Up And Bleed," which have been given a fresh new sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rubber Leg," featuring vocals by Alison Mosshart. The song is a high-energy rocker that showcases Williamson's guitar skills and Mosshart's powerful vocals. Another highlight is "She Creatures Of The Hollywood Hills," featuring vocals by Ariel Pink, which has a psychedelic feel to it and showcases Williamson's ability to create a unique sound.
