Best of the Bizarre Sessions: 1990-1994
Editorial Reviews
<"b00004u0544996"> Album Description
Voodoo jive. Ghoul rock. Blues. R&B. Screamin' Jay Hawkins was a visionary. An influence. Outrageous. A true original. He invented shock rock so that the likes of Alice Cooper, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson and The Cramps could follow. Arriving on stage in a coffin set aflame and performing with Henry, his smoking skull companion, he was insanely theatrical and lyrically outrageous years before it was acceptable. Keith Richards worshiped him. Jim Jarmusch put him in his films. He put a spell on us. Lucky for us he chucked his pro boxing gloves and opera aspirations for Rock 'n' Roll! This best of includes eighteen of his best recordings for the Bizarre label, including four unreleased songs. Besides the Hawkins originals, Tom Waits wrote two, and Buddy Blue of the Beat Farmers wrote three. 18 tracks.
