The Oberlin Review Online (1301 words)
Amethyst Rock Star marks his inevitable expansion from spoken to the sung word.
I was, to say the least, surprised by the incongruency between that floaty concept and the unrelenting, voracious momentum of Rock Star, especially because a driving element is rage, a state that I never connected to this poet in search of peace.
Amethyst Rock Star could be categorized as a cathartic piece of art, but I would rather say that it simply is a catharsis, for Williams and for some who hear the album.

And from a distance, you can hear the gurgle of electric guitars from a rock concert in the park.

Amethyst Rock Star is a pretty interesting album worth experiencing.
