  • Comment: The only strong source you have here is the Guardian. The R&R Hall of Fame article doesn't mention the album so doesn't add to this article. If you haven't, read WP:NMUSIC which may give you an idea of the kinds of sources that are needed. Of course, awards and charting help! LaMona (talk) 03:17, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Re-Licked is the first solo album by the guitarist, songwriter, record producer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee [4] James Williamson (musician) released in October 2014. It features tracks originally performed and demoed between 1973 and 1975 during Williamson's first tenure with Iggy & The Stooges. The band broke up in 1975 but subsequently reformed in 2003 as The Stooges with Williamson rejoining in 2009.

The album's featured tracks were mainly composed in the period following the release of 1973's era-defining Raw Power and before the group disbanded. They have long appeared on live bootlegs and unoffical releases but were not officially recorded because the band did not have a record deal at the time [5].

All the songs were recorded by Williamson with the members of the live touring version of The Stooges at Dave Grohl's 606 Studios [6]. Iggy Pop did not take part in the recordings [7]. Instead, it features a number of guest vocalists including Jello Biafra, Alison Mosshart, Carolyn Wonderland and Bobby Gillespie. The entire album was streamed by Rolling Stone just prior to its official release [8].

Perfomances

In 2015, four tracks from the album were televised nationally on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly show. The of 4th February show saw performances of “Head on Curve” featuring Jello Biafra and “Open Up and Bleed" featuring Carolyn Wonderland. On the 25th Williamson and Alison Mosshart returned and performed "Til The End Of The Night". The show also previewed "I Got A Right" featuring Lisa Kekaula on vocals [9].

With so many vocal collaborators, performance opportunities have been limited and no tour is planned [10]. However on 16 January 2015 the entire album was performed live in a one-off show at LA's Bootleg HiFi Theater, with a silent Williamson giving free rein to each artist to perform the songs in their own way [11]. The entire concert film was globally premiered on Yahoo music on the 7th of April 2015 [12].
