Cornbread Records present a reissue of Screamin' Jay Hawkins's self-titled album, originally released in 1958. Originally released only in France on a very rare 10" record in 1958, this is the first taste of the unique Screamin' Jay Hawkins to reach the European market. Featuring his early classics like "I Put A Spell On You", "Alligator Wine", and "Hong Kong", this is the great Hawkins at his raw and unhinged best. Truly transcendent American blues, R&B, and rock and roll reissued by Cornbread Records. 180 gram vinyl.

A comprehensive collection of the early, pre-debut LP singles from one of the most controversial front-men of early rock and roll. With his classically-trained bass-baritone singing voice, Screamin' Jay Hawkins conjured up ghoulish images both on stage and on his records. Hawkins, evoking voodoo images and using bone-rattling sound effects, simultaneously entertained and bewildered rock and roll fans. Featuring his all-time classic "I Put a Spell on You", along with a batch of hard-to-find classics from his Okeh Records days. Essential.

In a long line of rock and roll outsiders hailing from Ohio, Screamin' Jay Hawkins may very well be the first. Born and raised in Cleveland, Hawkins' 1956 single "I Put A Spell On You" is one of the most instantly recognizable songs in the history of R'n'B and rock. Baptize Me In Wine compiles that classic track along with 18 other specimens of pure, unhinged, guttural R'n'B madness into what is sure to be considered the definitive Hawkins collection on the vinyl market. Most tracks were originally released as singles on the Okeh label except for the last four, which are outtakes from the first album. Before Devo, before Pere Ubu, before Guided By Voices, there was Screamin' Jay. There really must be something in the water out there.

Wax Love present a reissue of At Home With Screamin' Jay Hawkins, originally released in 1958. By far one of the most outrageous performers of the early years of rock, prone to emerging from coffins on stage, with a flaming skull named Henry as his constant companion, Screamin' Jay was an insanely theatrical figure long before it was even remotely acceptable. His 1958 debut, At Home, featuring his legendary "I Put A Spell On You," along with surreal hits like "Hong Kong," "Take Me Back To The Boot And Saddle," or his wild-ass reinventions of old standards like "I Love Paris" and "Deep Purple" is a carefully arranged yet gritty, Ray Charles-gone-crazy styled, full band rhythm, and blues masterpiece, filled with enough howls and groans to send chills down your spine.
