This might be one of those records that makes my days go by so much better. Nothing clears a room like this record. Its just one of those records that makes everyone say "What the hell is this". I think its fair to say that more people have heard Hasil Adkins songs played by other people. A trend that happens oh so often in the rockabilly genre. It says something though when you can almost easily say that no one performed them with the general abandon and recklessness that Hasil did. Who said the biggest fear is the unknown? I think that applies here. You really are unsure of what this crazy man playing music by himself is capable of. There's a genuine nugget on insanity in there and he is allowing you into his messed up head. I love that he took Elvis and Chuck Berry and this is what came out. Pure unmarketable craziness. The beatles wanted to hold your hand. The rolling stones wanted you to spend the night. Hasil Adkins wanted to put your head on his wall.
