Screamin' Jay HAWKINS - Black Music for White People 1991


Screamin' Jay HAWKINS - Black Music for White People 1991

Blues

Still crazy after all these years, included is a rap, "Spell."

I'll keep this short and sweet coz no one's gonna read this review. Why? Coz no one has the time of day for Screamin' Jay Hawkins or his later work. He's always been looked at as a novelty act and was never taken seriously. Well, this 1991 album is pretty entertaining. Sure, his age has restricted him from being as caffeinated as his younger days, but don't be fooled by his age. He's still crazy and has a voice powerful enough to blow you through the wall. Highly recommended.
