Our Take
Our Take
Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the enigmatic pioneer of shock rock, returns from the depths of hell (or at least his grave) with a macabre masterpiece in the form of "My Little Shop of Horrors." The album is a twisted journey through Hawkins' twisted mind, filled with eccentric tales of love, lust, and the supernatural.
From the haunting opening track "I Put a Spell on You," it's clear that Hawkins hasn't lost any of his edge. His gravelly vocals and eerie howls are as captivating as ever, drawing you into his dark and twisted world. Tracks like "Feast of the Mau Mau" and "Alligator Wine" are sonic nightmares that will have you checking under your bed before you go to sleep.
But it's not all doom and gloom on "My Little Shop of Horrors." Hawkins shows off his playful side with the infectiously catchy "Little Demon" and the cheeky "Frenzy." These tracks add a touch of whimsy to an otherwise sinister album, proving that Hawkins is a master of balancing light and dark.
Overall, "My Little Shop of Horrors" is a must-listen for fans of horror, rock, or just good music in general. Hawkins' unique blend of blues, rock, and theatrics makes for a truly unforgettable listening experience. So dim the lights, grab a glass of Alligator Wine, and prepare to be transported to the twisted world of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. It's a ride you won't soon forget.

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.
