I Put A Spell On You - The Best Of - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Black Music For White People - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Black Music for White People is not only one of the best titles to be seen, it is also a Really good album, a 'two-thumbs-fresh', 'Bargins' much-goodness' blast of blues, Screamin' Jay Style. THE RECORDING DETAILS The Sessions for this record, and the following album 'stone crazy' (i think) were all between October and December 1990, and mixed in Febuary 1991. All this was at Tracks II recording in Hollywood USA, for Bizarre Records. The record was Produced by Robert Duffy, with (acording to the sleave notes) Herb Cohen the executive producer 'under duress. You can see parts of the recording sessions and get a glimps into what ...

Spells And Potions - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

week, and has done for the last 10 months. If you like the strange stuff (Tom Waits for instance) there is something for you, with all off Screamin' Jays voodoo grunting and howling keeping you going. THE CD's I would say Disk 1 is the Killer and two is the filler (way-hay the rhyme). But that is partly because I had been listing to a lot of disk two from the collection 'Alligator Wine' for a previous 12 months. Not anymore is track one and it throws us into Jays Screamin' from the start. Bliss. On CD one I would say that 'Not Anymore' 'Just Dont Care' 'All Night' 'Monkberry Moon (a song that has wonderful ...

Real Life - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

I got this CD last year at some grotty (but cool) record shop in Brighton. It was Recorded in France in 1983, when Screamin' Jay was on holiday there. And according to the sleve notes it was Jays first new LP in 10 years. (from 1976 - 1978 he wsa inactive due to a stage accident, dont know what he did, but it Beats James Hetfields Burn by at least 16 months!) THe recording has 11 tracks on it, with the exception of 'Get Down France' they are all available on compilations and other recordings. The band quality is good enuff, and they do not detract from the tunes in any way. We have a nice split of Operatic renderings (Deep In Love) , Good Time blues ...
