Time to take the motorcycle out to get some gas in it. Wish I would've bought a helmet with Bluetooth. Looking forward to the anniversary show next week!

I think he had to go through a "hollerin'" apprenticeship period.

Great, great song. agreed.

@Dan - my question exactly! ‘Conversational Tone’ Hawkins doesn’t have the same catchiness ...

Hi Mr Fine Wine. Good evening one and all. Excuse me while I grab a brahski.

Ha you guys. I don't have time to look up a discography, but I assume it predates "Spell"...

Awesome Jimmy Ricks track!!!
Avatar 🍷 8:18pm
Little Danny:

Agreed! I know a coupla great versions, but I think Ricks's is tops. His voice is so right for it.
Avatar 🍷 8:20pm
Little Danny:

It does look like '56's "I Put a Spell On You" 45 is where he officially became Screamin' Jay.
  8:23pm
P-90:

He came a long, long way from his teenage “Whisperin’ Jay Hawkins” days
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:25pm
Mr. Fine Wine:

What about his Mouthin' Jay days?
Avatar 🍷 8:28pm
Little Danny:

Unrelated. Hawkins's performance as a Memphis hotel manager in Jarmusch's Mystery Train is such a pleasure
  8:28pm
P-90:

Well, if you want to go all the way back to “Teethin’ Jay Hawkins”...
  8:29pm
JtotheK:

‘Hushed Volume’ Hawkins was an underrated era.

Similarly, it makes one wonder if there was ever a Mr. Fortified Wine.

Har. Rufus Thomas also appears in Mystery Train!

Man the Volumes really had some great 45s. Totally new to me, that one
  8:34pm

Have seen Jarmusch Tom Waits “Down By Law” though.

Oh, Mystery Train is available thru Criterion Channel so I can watch it!

I love those distracted sounding background vocals!

@MFW It's one of Jay's more memorable line reading from the movie

JakeGould:

“Mystery Train” is a really great film on all levels. But the Japanese tourists in Memphis? Best part. Rufus Thomas hits them up for a light in the train station.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45pm
Mr. Fine Wine:

...which led me to curse the New York Times and throw my copy to the floor in anger...they ran a still from Mystery Train with the review, and the caption ID'd the actors playing the Japanese couple but didn't mention that RUFUS THOMAS WAS FEATURED PROMINENTLY IN THE PIC
Avatar 🍷 Swag For Life Member 8:45pm
ultradamno:

There's a great story related by Jarmusch on the BR/DVD's from Criterion. Jay had served in the South Pacific and been tortured there. He claimed to be having a problem with working with the young Japanese actors...until he met them, found out they were big fans, had them fawn all over him, and all was well.

@MFW, yeah, no excuse for that, I agree.

The New York Times is really hard to defend on the pop culture front.
Avatar 🍷 8:46pm
Little Danny:

The movie exudes an atmosphere in such an appealing and specific way
  8:49pm
JakeGould:

@ultradamno: It’s kinda believable. When I was a kid in the 1970s in NYC being openly anti-German was acceptable.
Avatar 🍷 Swag For Life Member 8:50pm
ultradamno:

We're about the same age, sounds like. I experienced much the same in the midwest.

Barracuda the car or dance?

JakeGould:

@MrFineWine: If a loudmouth clown like me knows that was Rufus Thomas maybe I can take over David Brooks gig? You never know!!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52pm
Mr. Fine Wine:

Yes, that makes sense, JakeGould.
  8:52pm
JakeGould:

I think Sarah Silverman is the only person I heard of recently openly talking about how her family would give anyone who owned a German car grief as a kid. Part of her Los Angeles Jew girl upbringing. Good woman!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:55pm
Mr. Fine Wine:

We had a bit of that too.
Avatar 🍷 8:55pm
Little Danny:

I love Sarah Silverman but she's from New Hampshire
