Screamin' Jay Hawkins (LP, 10inch)
Hawkins, Screamin' Jay
(BE! Records) 10 tracks. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1929, Hawkins first made a name for himself as a good boxer – but then took up singing – or rather, screaming – he is called Screamin’ Jay for a reason. Screamin’ Jay has developed a rhythm that can be described as demoniac: 'I Put A Spell On You' and 'Hong Kong' are good examples. One should not take this likeable gentleman too serious, though; there’s doubtlessly a touch of exhibitionism about him, but behind his fiery vocals there is the force of attack and the power of an authentic champion of the boxing ring. Here’s Screamin’ Jay... on a widely requested reissue of that legendary French album, remastered per DMM vinyl cutting for optimal sound!
