THE LATE, GREAT, BENT OUTTA SHAPE, HASIL [HASSLE] ADKINS "SHE SAID" LIVE AND LOOSE . . . . THE MAN WAS A LEGITIMATE ONE OFF LEGEND . . . . BEEN SEARCHIN FOR LIVE FOOTAGE OF HIM FOR YEARS . . . . ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A COVER AND SKIPPED IT FOREVER, WRONG . . . . THE REAL McCOY, THE ONE AND ONLY, R.I.P HELLBILLY HASIL.

I FIRST CAME ACROSS THIS MANIC MUSICAL MARAUDER BACK IN 1982 ON A GREAT COMPILATION ALBUM, "ROCKABILLY PSYCHOSIS AND THE GARAGE DISEASE", THIS SONG BLEW MY GREASY LITTLE MIND, ALONG WITH THE LEGENDARY STARDUST COWBOY . . . . RAW, VISCERAL, LOOSE AND WHAT WOULDA BEEN COMPLETE AND UTTER MINDFUCK MATERIAL WHEN IT WAS RELEASED BACK IN AROUND '65 OR THEREABOUTS, IT IS ARGUABLY THE SEMINAL 'PSYCHOBILLY' TRACK, GROUND POINT ZERO IN THE GENRE . . . .



COULD YOU IMAGINE WHAT MR AND MRS MIDDLE CLASS WOULD'VE SAID WHEN THEY HEARD THIS SHIT WHEN THEY WERE STILL TRYING TO GET THEIR TINY MELONS AROUND THE BEATLES AND THE STONES . . . . ????

SADLY, THIS PIONEER KICKED ON TO THE GREAT HOTDOG STAND IN THE SKY BACK IN THE MID TWO THOUSANDS BUT THIS TRACK AND HIS OTHER RELEASES WILL LIVE ON AND CONTINUE TO GAIN THE RECOGNITION THEY SO DESERVE.
