#ANDY AND DAVID WILLIAMS MOVIE#

Our frequent collaborator and producer Marvin Etzioni had written some great Everly-type songs and brought in songs by Dave Davies (‘Death of a Clown’) and Buffy Sainte-Marie (‘Piney Wood Hills’).

“That experience lit a flame in us to think about making a country record with the two-part harmonies we had grown up singing.

The movie was directed by Allison Anders with music supervised by Larry Klein, who wrote and produced the two songs we performed in the film. “We were working on music in preparation for our appearance in the movie ‘Grace of My Heart,’ ” David Williams told Good New Music by email, “where we played the Click Brothers, a fictionalized version of the Everly Brothers. The lineup comprises pedal steel, acoustic guitar, drums and electric bass, and the 10 songs encompass five covers and five originals (one by the twins and four by Marvin Etzioni, who played bass and served as producer).

“Memories to Burn” is their fourth, albeit time-delayed, album. The second-generation Williams Brothers enjoyed success, too - first as teen idols “Andy & David Williams” in the 1970s then as backing vocalists in the ’80s for artists such as the Plimsouls, T-Bone Burnett, the Cruzados and Brian Setzer and finally as an “adult contemporary” duo, releasing three albums for Warner Bros. But the real kicker is that this magnificent “new” album was recorded in 1995, taking more than 27 years to see the light of day.Īndrew and David come from good stock: Their father, Don, and three of his brothers (including uncle Andy, of “Moon River” fame) formed the original Williams Brothers in 1938.

Yes, that really is a pedal steel guitar conveying sadness over the “Death of a Clown.” Even more amazing is Andrew and David Williams’ blood-harmony presentation of said song, Dave Davies’ 1967 solo debut single.
