Screamin' Jay Hawkins "Feast of the mau mau" 1988 - DISC 1

"I hear those Voices again... I Smell Nookie!"... at least that's what I always thought he said... - BenT
Liner notes by Pete Brown 1988
The wildman stops pounding out the blues on the piano and strolls over to where a long stick with a greenish-white skull on top stands. He picks up the stick, lights a cigarette, and places it in the skull's mouth. He regards the skull with a mixture of delight and disdain as it appears to puff the cigarette. A strange French band plays uneasy riffs in the background. Screamin' Jay Hawkins is in town
• Eating a wax feather sandwich • In the middle of • Nineteen hundred and yesterday
Some of us in the Beat poetry movement in the late fifties / early sixties, under the influence of various forbidden or destructive liquids and substances, used to play a game invented by Corso, Kerouac etc called "wordslings". We'd make up weirder and weirder juxtapositions of images and sentiments, trying to outweird each other, with pauses for laughter. A kind of surrealist contest or exercise. Later we would incorporate some of our findings in our work. We didn't know then but Screamin' Jay Hawkins had done it all already, without anything in his bloodstream but his own blood.
• Yesterday's comin' back tomorrow • Is is now
Let's face it, individuality is a pretty scarce commodity in these days of clip-on weirdness kits and midi'd chestwigs. People don't even make their own records anymore. Courage is even scarcer, because Courage and Corporate don't mix. That's why it's great to have these two albums, long favourites of mine, back in circulation, to stretch and disturb the minds of another generation of music lovers.
I'm not going into the history. The best of these performances are timeless and speak for themselves, standing proudly for themselves, standing proudly beside the work of Slim Gaillard, Eddie Harris, Sleepy John Estes, Victoria Spivey and Wynonie Harris (well, whoever wrote his songs).
These blasts put the most savage punk bands to shame, and rival the fiercest social and sexual commentators of our time.
• A pain called • "Had to eat more" • Made me get a job
and
• I've been hurt • Till I love the pain
I don't hesitate to say that WHAT THAT IS is a masterpiece. What album these days can boast a track like "The Feast Of The Mau Mau"?
• Cut the fat off the back of a baboon • Boil it down to a pound in a spoon • Scoop the eyes from a fly flying backwards • Take the jaws and the paws off a 'coon...
This should be compulsory listening for all white South Africans. And it gets heavier - how about the sheer graphic horror of "Constipation Blues" ("nobody ever made a record about real pain") with the great Plas Johnson's baritone sax expressively suggesting dark dysfunctions of the digestive system?
WHAT THAT IS was recorded live in a Hollywood club over two days with a changing personnel with more interesting contributions from Johnson and from the legendary British pianist Graham Bond (also signed to Mercury at the time), jazz guitarist Herb Ellis and the excellent Earl palmer on drums. I wish I'd been there. Just to see the audience. There are few albums in the history of obscurely popular music less uninhibited than this. The second album, BECAUSE IS IN YOUR MIND / ARMPITRUBBER (both titles appear on the original sleeve) contains, on first impressions, more conventional material. It's efficiently produced by Huey Meaux, with a solid studio band and some nice horn charts. It's more soul than blues-orientated especially on such numbers as "Tryin' To Reach My Goal" and "Our Love". - to be continued...

"BLUES FOR CUBA" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 35

“Behind the bar was the proprietor, a young fellow who instantly ran out when we told him we wanted to hear mambo music and came back with a stack of records, mostly by Perez Prado, and put them on over the loudspeaker…
...In an instant all the city of Gregoria could hear the good times going on at the Sala de Baile. In the hall itself the din of the music – for this is the real way to play a jukebox and what it was originally for – was so tremendous that it shattered Dean and Stan and me for a moment in the realization that we had never dared to play music as loud as we wanted, and this was how loud we wanted. It blew and shuddered directly at us. In a few minutes half that portion of town was at the windows, watching the Americanos dance with the gals. They all stood, side by side with the cops, on the dirt sidewalk, leaning in with indifference and casualness. ’More Mambo Jambo’, ’Chattanooga de Mambo’, ’Mambo Numero Ocho’ - all these tremendous numbers resounded and flared in the golden, mysterious afternoon like the sounds you expect to hear on the last day of the world and the Second Coming. The trumpets seemed so loud I thought they could hear them clear out in the desert, where the trumpets had originated anyway. The drums were mad. The mambo beat is the conga beat from Congo, the river of Africa and the world; it’s really the world beat. Oom-ta, ta-poo-poom. The piano montunos showered down on us from the speaker. The cries of the leader were like great gasps in the air. The final trumpet choruses that came with drum climaxes on conga and bongo drums, on the great mad Chattanooga record, froze Dean in his tracks for a moment till he shuddered and sweated; then when the trumpets bit the drowsy air with their quivering echoes, like a cavern’s or a cave’s, his eyes grew large and round a s though seeing the devil, and he closed them tight. I myself was shaken like a puppet by it; I heard the trumpets flail the light I had seen and trembled in my boots.
On the fast ‘Mambo Jambo’ we danced frantically with the girls. Through our deliriums we began to discern their varying personalities. They were great girls. Strangely the wildest one was half Indian, half white, and came from Venezuela, and only eighteen. She looked as if she came from a good family. What she was doing whoring in Mexico at that age and with that tender cheek and fair aspect, God knows. Some awful grief had driven her to it. She drank beyond all bounds. She threw down drinks when it seemed she was about to chuck up the last. She overturned glasses continually, the idea also being to make us spend as much money as possible. Wearing her flimsy housecoat in broad afternoon, she frantically danced with Dean and clung about his neck and begged and begged for everything. Dean was so stoned he didn’t know what to start with, girls or mambo” - Jack Kerouac “On the Road”

MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 3

Here is great collection of Mickey Baker's great work. (He just passed away November 27, 2012.) If you asked me, and I know you didn't, but if you did, I'd say Mickey "Guitar" Baker is the greatest guitarist in rock'n'roll history. Bob Quine agreed with me. (The Hound Blog)
Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker is one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he isn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians. Baker originally aspired to be a jazz musician, but turned to calypso, mambo, and then R&B, where the most work could be found. (Allmusic)

His Master's Voice / Monsoon "His Master's Voice versus Monsoon" 2018 + "Versions" 2018 - 7"/45rpm

Long overdue, the present collaboration represents a new sound for His Master's Voice and clear entry point for Monsoon...
...Here we find a neurogenetic mind-meld wherein a connection between the arid landscape of desert rock and the submarine sounds of surf music is made. The apex of Spaghetti Western cinema scores remakes this dipole into a triangle, where both music forms can draw a line from its compositional style. One hears echos of fuzz and blown speaker cones in the melodies of Once Upon a Time in the West just the same as one hears the wailing of an old Mosrite guitar. As this mutual reference point recedes in time, it sweetens in our ears and reddens in our eyes. Nostalgia isn't really our thing, but tradition is tradition. Now hear this!

Screamin' Jay Hawkins "The Whammee" 1953-55

A long overdue re-press for this unique collection of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' finest seminal early performances, all beautifully re-mastered in Maumau-sonic sound in The Vault Of Horror.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins was ...um… an eccentric man, who wore outlandish outfits, (Leopardskin and red leather were a favourite combo from the 1940's on), claimed to practice voodoo and carried a skull named Henry on stage with him every time he sprang from his casket to perform his amazing music. His I Put a Spell on You (1956) remains rock and roll's most singular recording, and was selected as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that shaped Rock and Roll. The song sets out the template for the man's career : big-voiced Hawkins singing an impassioned appeal to a lost love or some other banal thing. Very quickly, however, the performance becomes something unique: Hawkins seems positively demented as he sings, threatens wildly, screams, grunts and groans, and sounds utterly demoniacal in reclaiming the lady or whatever as his own, as he does here again and again...
Hawkins' legendary theatrical act was one of the first shock rock performances, and was the progenitor of much that came later in rock and roll, including George Clinton, Arthur Brown, Alice Cooper, Dr. John, Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath, Screaming Lord Sutch, Warren Zevon, and Marilyn Manson, among the many who vied for Hawkins' title as a rock and roll madman.
His starring roles in Jim Jarmusch's films Stranger Than Paradise and Mystery Train led to other movie performances such as Álex de la Iglesia's Perdita Durango and Bill Duke's adaptation of Chester Himes' A Rage In Harlem. His song Frenzy being featured in "The X Files", touring with The Clash, Nick Cave and Tom Waits also kept our man firmly in the news until his alleged death!! So, here we have a Voodootastic selection of Screamin'Jay's finest early performances; to delight a terrified audience once more, in-cluding many unissued performances!

"FANTASIA" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 34

Mambo is a Latin dance of Cuba which was developed in the 1940s when the music genre of the same name became popular throughout Latin America…
...The original ballroom dance which emerged in Cuba and Mexico was related to the danzón, albeit faster and less rigid. In the United States, it replaced rhumba as the most fashionable Latin dance. Later on, with the advent of salsa and its more sophisticated dance, a new type of mambo dance including breaking steps was popularized in New York. This form received the name of "salsa on 2", "mambo on 2" or "modern mambo". - wiki

The Solarflares "Laughing Suns" 2004

The second Big Beat album from the band formed by the two lead members of the Prisoners - Allan Crockford and Graham Day - and members of Billy Childish's Buff Medways and Dutronc…
...Day is one of the country's great unsung vocalists and songwriters. Big Beat's re-issue of the Prisoner's catalogue has seen good sales and a re-awakening of interest in the band once described as one of the great lost acts of the 80s. " Laughing Sons" shows an extension of the SolarFlares' modus operandi from the straight garage rock'n'roll of " Look What I Made Out Of My Head" into a more psychedelic vision of albion, most notably on the tour- de-force 'Chatham Town'

MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 2

Here is great collection of Mickey Baker's great work. (He just passed away November 27, 2012.) If you asked me, and I know you didn't, but if you did, I'd say Mickey "Guitar" Baker is the greatest guitarist in rock'n'roll history. Bob Quine agreed with me. (The Hound Blog)
Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker is one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he isn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians. Baker originally aspired to be a jazz musician, but turned to calypso, mambo, and then R&B, where the most work could be found. (Allmusic)

"VOODOO PLAN" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 33

Mambo is a Latin dance of Cuba which was developed in the 1940s when the music genre of the same name became popular throughout Latin America…
...The original ballroom dance which emerged in Cuba and Mexico was related to the danzón, albeit faster and less rigid. In the United States, it replaced rhumba as the most fashionable Latin dance. Later on, with the advent of salsa and its more sophisticated dance, a new type of mambo dance including breaking steps was popularized in New York. This form received the name of "salsa on 2", "mambo on 2" or "modern mambo". - wiki

Guantanamo Baywatch "Postcard from the Tar Pitz" 2010 - 12"/45rpm EP

Conjuring up a swampy fusion of surf, garage rock, and rockabilly that suggests the Cramps hitting the beach midway through a drunken bender, Guantanamo Baywatch are a group from Portland, Oregon determined to bring good, trashy fun back to rock & roll...
...Guantanamo Baywatch were formed in 2009 by guitarist Jason Powell and bassist Chevelle Wiseman; Powell, originally from Seattle, coined the name for a fanzine piece, and liked it enough that he asked his friend Wiseman (who had moved to Portland from Palo Alto, California) to join a new band that would use the handle. Wiseman, who had taken cello lessons as a girl, was drafted to play bass, while their friends Nina and Cole filled out the lineup on second guitar and drums. However, Nina and Cole's presence in the band was short-lived, and after Devin Trainer became the band's new drummer, they opted to continue as a trio. By the fall of 2010, Trainer was out of the group, and with Chris Scott (another California transplant and a former surfer) behind the drums, Guantanamo Baywatch finally had their definitive lineup. Releasing a self-titled album that quickly went out of print, Guantanamo Baywatch began touring aggressively through the Pacific Northwest and up and down the West Coast, earning a reputation for their manic live shows, gloriously tacky stage wear, and enthusiastically greasy approach to surf music. In 2011, they signed with Portland garage punk label Dirtnap Records, and the band's first album for Dirtnap, Chest Crawl, appeared in the spring of 2012. The group jumped to Suicide Squeeze Records for its third long-player, 2015's Darling... It's Too Late. For their fourth album, Guantanamo Baywatch expanded to a quartet, with second guitarist Jordan Owen debuting on the group's 2017 release Desert Center.

The Solarflares "Can Satisfy You" 2003

The Solarflares return with their 4th album on their own Own-Up label, following last year’s LP on Big Beat – and it’s a collection of covers and live tracks with the odd new track and alternate take from previous albums…
...It all starts with a new track, ‘Inside Of A Dream’, a current highlight of the band’s set and a typical Graham Day masterpiece with a crunching guitar riff and lyrics that build up to a chorus that remain in your head before it merges into a cover of possibly The Monkees’ finest moment in ‘Valerie’.
Wimple Winch’s ‘Save My Soul’ is probably the ultimate freakbeat track and I doubt many could do the track justice – no surprise that The Solarflares are one of the few who could, and aside from the guitar riff, the haunting organ of Parsley comes to the fore.
The first of 3 live tracks follow with ‘Miles Away’, originally on ‘That Was Then And So Is This’, the band’s 2nd album. Another Graham Day original, the live cut is from a blistering performance at the tail end of last year. Then a trip back to The Prisoners’ ‘A Taste Of Pink’ album, and a dust-down for ‘Creepy Crawlies’. It still retains the rawness of the original and shows how well these songs stand up 21 years later.
The Seeds’ ‘Satisfy You’ is covered next before the 2nd LP is raided again for an alternate take on ‘Get It Together’ and the 2nd live track ‘Suckin’ Out My Insides’. There’s not a great deal of difference between the 2 versions of ‘Get It Together’, though a little heavier on the organ, whilst ‘Suckin’ Out My Insides’ sees the band in full flow at the Buffalo Bar Islington, with their energetic live sound captured perfectly.
The Ramones’ ‘Glad To See You Go’ is tackled next followed by a new take on last year’s excellent single, ‘Open Your Eyes’. A great Who-like number, ‘Just Wanna Be Bad’, the 3rd live track on the album, is again full of power, energy and anger and builds up to a feedback crescendo. The quality of the live tracks makes me wonder why they don’t issue a live LP.
The album finishes with 2 more covers, Fire’s ‘Father’s Name Is Dad’ and ‘Hold On’, which sees Parsley take lead vocal and let loose on the keyboard.
It’s more or less a fan club album and is only currently available from Detour Records. It is, however, well worth tracking down for some interesting covers, great live cuts and especially ‘Inside Of A Dream’. - Reviewed by Dave Edwards
