Free Music Review: Just an old Venice Beach drifter and his guitar...
Hit: 5 Stars
"I just want my music to be out there and have people hear me sing, because I have something for them." Ted Hawkins
If you are a fan of the BLUES, then please make haste and order this one now. Such a sweet, sublime, simple and serene soul, that is what Ted Hawkins possessed. His music is gentle and genuine, and, as I stated above, it's just one man's voice accompanied by his guitar (a la Richie Havens). Those of you who love REAL music, music that moves you, music you can listen to all day long and never tire of, then this is your man and you are in for a real treat. I saw this cat play down in Venice Beach, Cali in the early 90's and was absolutely blown away (as was the entire audience!).
His bluesy voice is breathtakingly poignant, very reminscent of Sam Cooke (one of his idols) and the great modern-day Blue's master Keb Mo. I have turned an inordinate amount of people on to his late, great sound over the past twenty-plus years without even trying. All I do is play his music, and the questions started popping in all directions - 'who is this guy Joey?', 'what is this you have on, it's great stuff?' etc... The next thing you know, they are thanking me for the intro and die hard fans they soon become. I can honestly attest to the fact that no matter what type of music you are into, you are definitely going to dig and be moved by this underground treasure!
Hawkin's best work is arguably "The Next Hundred Years", but this CD is nothing short of a five-star classic in and of itself. He more than does justice to such classics as "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", "Just My Imagination", Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman" (my favorite), Sam Cooke's "Good Times" and "Somebody Have Mercy" to name a few. His voice and guitar at times seem to meld into one, and it's almost impossible to label him into one category of music (i.e. Blues, R&B, Soul). Hell, even my friends who dig Country Music have become ardent fans of this Venice Beach diamond in the ruff. His music, transcends all genres.
If you don't like this and you made the purchase based upon my review, I will purchase this CD back from you. That is how confident I am about my drum banging!
Enjoy!
