Screamin\' Jay Hawkins (and The Fuzztones) -- Live

  • Artist: Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (and The Fuzztones)
  • Title: Live
  • Year: 1985
  • Format: Vinyl 12 in.
  • Rating (1-10): 7
  • Owner: Tracy
  • Acquired: 1985 – Mail order from the label, Midnight Records.
  • Keeper: Yes

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins made a special guest appearance at a benefit show by The Fuzztones. These are the four songs on this short live record:

“Alligator Wine”
“I Put a Spell On You”
“It’s That Time Again”
“Constipation Blues”

I suppose this record could be filed under “F” for Fuzztones, but Mr. Hawkins appearance is what makes it special to me. So, “H” it is. From the crowd noise this sounds like a small club. When Fuzztones frontman Rudi Protrudi enthusiastically introduces Mr. Hawkins the crowd doesn’t exactly erupt like I would expect. What was wrong with those people?

    Very good album, though too short. I love “Constipation blues” and “I Put a spell on you”. Very rare, and I’ve got it !!!
