Our Take

Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the OG wild man of rock 'n' roll, has been belting out spine-tingling tunes since the 1950s. And this compilation album, "I Put A Spell On You - The Best Of," is a groovy glimpse into the eccentric world of this legendary performer.

From the moment Hawkins growls the iconic "I Put A Spell On You," you know you're in for a wild ride. His gravelly voice will make your hair stand on end, while his wild stage presence will have you dancing in no time. Tracks like "Little Demon" and "Feast of the Mau Mau" showcase Hawkins' unique blend of blues, rock, and voodoo magic.

But don't let the spooky vibes fool you - Hawkins is a master of the macabre with a wicked sense of humour. Songs like "Alligator Wine" and "Frenzy" are delightfully twisted, with lyrics that will make you chuckle while also sending a shiver down your spine.

The production on this album is top-notch, capturing the raw energy of Hawkins' live performances while still maintaining a polished sound. Every screech, howl, and growl is perfectly preserved, making you feel like you're right there in the front row of a Screamin' Jay Hawkins concert.

So if you're in the mood for some sinister sounds and a whole lot of fun, "I Put A Spell On You - The Best Of" is the perfect album for you. Just be warned - once you start listening, you may never be able to stop.

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.
