Our Take

In the annals of rock 'n' roll history, few artists have left a mark quite like Screamin Jay Hawkins. With his wild stage presence and unique vocal style, Hawkins was a force to be reckoned with in the music world. And now, with the release of "A Portrait Of A Man And His Woman," we get a glimpse into the twisted mind of this musical madman.

From the moment the album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "I Put A Spell On You," it's clear that Hawkins is not your average artist. His powerful voice cuts through the music like a knife, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who dares to listen. And as the album progresses, we are treated to a mix of blues, soul, and rock that showcases Hawkins' versatility as a musician.

But it's not just Hawkins' vocal prowess that sets him apart - his songwriting skills are also on full display here. Tracks like "Hong Kong" and "Pastel" delve into the darker side of love, while "Monkberry Moon Delight" takes us on a psychedelic journey through Hawkins' twisted mind.

Overall, "A Portrait Of A Man And His Woman" is a must-listen for any fan of rock 'n' roll. With its mix of powerful vocals, clever songwriting, and unique musical style, this album is a true showcase of Hawkins' talent. So put on your dancing shoes and prepare to be spellbound by the one and only Screamin Jay Hawkins.

About the artist

Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Screamin Jay Hawkins, the larger-than-life blues and rock 'n' roll powerhouse, burst onto the scene with a literal bang in the 1950s. Known for his wild on-stage antics and signature growling vocals, Hawkins carved out a niche for himself in the music world, cementing his status as a cult icon. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1929, Hawkins began his career as a traditional blues singer before embracing a more theatrical approach to his performances. With hits like "I Put a Spell on You" and "Feast of the Mau Mau", Hawkins quickly garnered a dedicated following for his raucous live shows and outlandish persona. Despite his larger-than-life personality, Hawkins' music displayed a depth and complexity that set him apart from his contemporaries. His fusion of blues, R&B, and rockabilly influences created a sound that was both timeless and ahead of its time. Hawkins' influence can be heard in the work of artists ranging from Tom Waits to Alice Cooper, solidifying his legacy as a true pioneer of rock music. Hawkins' career was marked by highs and lows, from his early success in the 1950s to his struggles with addiction in later years. But through it all, his passion for music never wavered, and he continued to captivate audiences with his electrifying performances until his death in 2000. Screamin Jay Hawkins may have left us, but his music lives on as a testament to his unrivalled talent and unbridled passion for the art form. So next time you're in need of a musical pick-me-up, turn up the volume on some Screamin Jay Hawkins and let yourself be transported to a world where the blues reign supreme.
