un film en DVD va sortir sur Hasil Adkins‏

Hasil Adkins




Hasil Adkins (prononcer Hassil) (29 avril1937 - 26 avril2005), pionnier du Punk Rock, homme orchestre, était un musicien de country, rock and roll, blues bien que sa musique ait souvent été considérée comme rockabilly voire même comme du jazz primitif.
Il nait dans le comté de Boone en Virginie occidentale, ou il résidera toute sa vie durant, près de Madison. Fils d'un mineur de charbon, il est le benjamin d'une famille de dix enfants, il était à la fois sévérement dépressif et hyperactif.
Enfant, il entend un jour Hank Williams à la radio et est persuadé que ce dernier est tout seul pour faire "tout ce boucan". C'est ainsi que nait son One man band. Il joue de tout à la fois lors de ses performances : guitare, batterie, harmonica, chant (et vodka si l'on en croit le livret de son abum Achy Breacky ha ha ha).
Son hyperactivité se traduit par une créativité hors du commun. Il a composé plus de 7000 chansons et était capable de toutes les jouer ainsi que 2000 reprises de mémoire. Les plus connus sont "She said", "Chicken walk", "We got a date", "I'm happy" ou encore "No more hot dogs". Les thèmes récurrents de son œuvre sont l'amour, la rupture, la mort, la police, la viande en boite, les aliens, la guitare, les poulets et la décapitation. Dans une de ses chansons il annonce à sa petite amie qu'il va lui couper la tête (et l'accrocher à son mur) afin qu'elle ne puisse plus manger de hot-dogs.
Il fut le créateur de deux danses éphémères : le Hunch ("recroquevillement") et le Chicken Walk (Sorte de Danse des canards sexualisée). Il a également participé à plusieurs films (voir plus bas).
Il décéde le 26 avril 2005.

Hasil Atkins est décédé le 26 avril 2005 à Madison (Virginie de l'Ouest).



Et tandis que le King en était encore à susurrer ses ballades amoureuses, Hasil écrivait des rockabillies de grand guignol gore où il était question de décapiter ses petites amies et de les accrocher au porte-manteau



Ainsi aurait-il écrit, au fil des ans, plus de 7 000 chansons, enregistrées, dans son mobile-home, sur un simple magnéto à bandes payé avec son salaire de mécano.




Gagné par le démon de la country et du hillbilly, Hasil apprend à jouer de la guitare, de l'harmonica, de la batterie et invente un style de rock unique, à la fois primitif, exubérant et sauvage.





Aujourd'hui, c'est un musicien vénéré - dit-on - des Cramps, de Motorhead ou de Marilyn Manson. La postérité joue parfois de ces tours… Bref

avis perso: sur ce qui est écrit je suis assez d'accord , surtout quand je vois les noms de ces groupes ou chanteurs mais, comme je l'ai déjà dit chacun ses gouts et ses couleurs, ce qui n'enlève rien au génie qui était déjà en avance sur son temps!



Un critique musical écrira qu'au moment où naissait le rock 'n' roll voici longtemps déjà qu'Hasil Adkins était en train de le tuer.




Dès 1955, Hasil Adkins invente le psychobilly. Ou le drunkabilly. Ou le rockabilly. Peu importe ! Appelez-ça comme vous voulez.

Hasil Adkins, The Hunch

Although he won't confirm the exact year (maybe he doesn't really know) Hasil appears to have been born on April 29th, 1937 in Boone County, West Virginia. Located in the southern most part of the state, Haze's region is dominated by coal mines. Hasil's father, Wid Adkins, dug coal for decades and sternly warned, "Don't you ever go in those mines."
While Haze was drawn to music by the pure joy of making noise, music would eventually offer a way out of the mines. Hasil took to music as a child, turning it into a form of play. By making sounds out of whatever he could find, ordinary objects like wash tubs, bottles and jugs became instruments.
A lot of people didn't believe it when Hasil first took to the stage in the mid-1950's. His crazy gyrations and hepped-up vocal attack were mind boggling to the fair-goers and other inhabitants of the biggest small town near Hasil's house... Madison. They did know it was sort of the same thing that Elvis Presley was doing, so they dubbed Haze, "Elvis Hasil Adkins."
Hasil's one-man-band approach arose in part from his reckoning that the other musicians he heard on 78's were playing everything by themselves. As the one-man-band began to hit his stride, the hunching-like movements of his sexed-up fans gave birth to a new dance. In 1957, Haze christened the new dance and the first of its many offshoot songs, "The Hunch."

Apr 27, 2005 - ROCK-A-BILLY ARTIST HASIL ADKINS DIES
By JOHN RABY

Associated Press Writer

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Rock-a-billy artist Hasil Adkins, a one-man band whose screaming vocals and freestyle approach to rhythm landed a cult following, has died at 67.
Adkins' body was found Tuesday at his Madison home, where he lived alone. The cause of death has not been determined but it does not appear to be suspicious. The body has been sent to the state medical examiner's office, Boone County Sheriff's Deputy J.M. Thompson said Wednesday.
"Someone had gone to check on him and had found him," Thompson said.
Guitar. Harmonica. Drums. Foot-rhythm instruments. Adkins played them all - often while singing. A yodel, screaming and a high-pitched female's lark were some of his many voices.
The son of a coal miner, Adkins learned to played guitar before he was 10. He claimed the only time he practiced his songs was on stage.
Known to his fans as The Haze, Adkins struggled for decades to get noticed. In a 2002 interview, he said he mailed out thousands of tapes and records over a 30-year period while fishing for a record deal.
Even Richard Nixon got one, courtesy of U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va. The president's reply to Adkins came on White House stationery in 1970: "I am very pleased by your thoughtfulness in bringing these particular selections to my attention."
"Hasil was one of a handful of artists I think (who) are truly unique and truly individual. There aren't very many people whose music you can identify in seconds. But he was one of them," said Michael Lipton, a Charleston musician and writer who wrote stories about Adkins for newspapers and magazines and later became friends with Adkins.
"And like those kinds of singular artists, they have good nights and bad nights, on a good night it was the most rhythmic, primal music I think I've ever heard," Lipton said Wednesday.
"On a bad night, it was still good."
Adkins was the original star of Norton Records, a label built around the primal recordings Adkins produced in his mountain home, beginning in the Eisenhower era.
"People told me they wondered how I could stick with it, so many heartaches and letdowns. I had 'em by the hundreds, millions I guess," Adkins said. "I said, well, I didn't start to quit."
Adkins, who claimed to have written more than 7,000 songs, first emerged hooting and wailing in the 1950s, only to disappear again. European fans kept the rock-a-billy rage alive, and when the Cramps did an early 1980s remake of Adkins' "She Said," his records suddenly became hot again.
What Adkins sang about was just as unique as his delivery, which was fueled by a 2-gallon-a-day coffee habit.
New York-based Norton Records combined new and previous recordings to release "Poultry in Motion," a collection of 15 Adkins songs about chicken from 1955 to 1999.
His "Chicken Walk" and "The Hunch" became two short-lived dance fads.
There also were tunes like "Chocolate Milk Honeymoon" and "Boo Boo The Cat."
Despite his antics, acquaintances described Adkins as good hearted.
"He'd do anything for you, sing any song for you if he knew it," said Juanita Pridemore of Washington Heights.
Adkins often performed at Charleston's Empty Glass bar, where some out-of-town acts stipulated that he open for them.
"It was just amazing. It was like nothing you've ever heard," said Leslie Nahodil, a Boone County nurse who met Adkins during his occasional visits to her hospital's emergency room. "It was just pure, homespun, country rock-a-billy music."
