This one is for Jordan Ramsier but I guess you can have it too.
ALSO! I promise to blog more because it is inappropriate that I utilize other’s blogs as frequently as I do and rarely return the favor.
That said:
I have been on a fervent old school country/blues kick as of late. This considered, Hasil and I have been spending excessive time together. Homeboy is a rockabilly type musician. One of his neato features is that he was a one-man band of sorts. I am fascinated by these musicians—my lackluster, one-trick-pony opera mind cant wrap itself around that kind of talent and, for lack of a better word, multi-tasking.
And he was sexy as anything. Hasil had the crazy factor—I have found many an article that has referred to him as a “lunatic”. That is high praise in my book. Delicious.
This album is really solid and (I feel) pretty easy to enjoy. Although “We Got a Date” is somewhat of an acquired taste with his moanin’ and a groanin’, sinister voice altering and practically unintelligible lyrics—the rest of these tracks are light hearted, nostalgic beats. His voice is classic, the recordings have the warm snap crackles and pops of a legit 1955 record.
Keeps my pace maker thumpin’- Gee But I Love You, Ha Ha Cat Walk Baby, I’m Happy
