Songs From Venice Beach

by
Ted Hawkins
Blending every form of roots music imaginable into his own singular soulful stew, the incomparable Ted Hawkins stuck mostly to R&B covers on this splendid 1985 solo outing -- songs by Sam Cooke (his idol), Jerry Butler, Bobby Bland, the Temptations, and Garnet Mimms receive gorgeous readings by the acoustic guitarist. But even though he only ...

by
Ted Hawkins
Guitarist/vocalist Ted Hawkins' second Rounder record enhanced his reputation. Happy Hour features Hawkins' memorable compositions, plus a wonderful version of Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman." Hawkins' vocals were even more gritty and striking, as was his acoustic guitar backing and chording. He teamed with his wife Elizabeth on "Don't Make Me ...

The Final Tour

by
Ted Hawkins
Ted Hawkins' story is one of the most interesting -- and tragic -- in the history of R&B. Who'd have thought that a fifty-something street singer who performed 1960s-type soul in Venice Beach, CA, would have signed with Geffen's DGC label after decades of obscurity? That's exactly what happened, but tragically, a 58-year-old Hawkins died from a ...

Love You Most of All: More Songs from Venice Beach
(1998)
more music like this
by
Ted Hawkins
Ted Hawkins always resisted being called a blues singer, and a look at his repertoire shows why. While Hawkins' strong but weather-beaten voice could communicate sorrow and heartbreak as few others could, he could also summon up a joyous fire that's a wonder to behold, and he could work this magic with practically any song he chose to perform, ...

Evidence Blues Sampler: Six
(1998)

by
Various Artists
For Evidence Blues Sampler: Six, the modern blues'n'jazz label doesn't alter the approach of their samplers much -- they still mix up the modern with the classic reissues. However, they do tip the scales a little bit toward the newer side of things, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it gives the album more cohesion than other volumes. ...

Nowhere to Run

more music like this
by
Ted Hawkins & Michael Messer
First of all, these aren't exactly undiscovered Hawkins recordings. This album was first released in a very limited edition in 1989, under the title I Love You Too. Reputedly Hawkins' personal favorite among his work, it's a playful disc indeed. There are touches of reggae, notably on "Who Do You Love" and "Dollar Tree," while "Baby" harks back in ...

Ladder of Success
(2003)
more music like this
by
Ted Hawkins
The title's new, but the music isn't. This is, in fact, a simple repackaging of two earlier Hawkins albums, the live The Unstoppable Ted Hawkins and the studio Nowhere to Run (aka I Love You Too) -- especially baffling since both are in print. There are no bonus tracks, in fact nothing fresh at all -- none of which stops this from being great ...

Watch Your Step

by
Ted Hawkins
Guitarist/vocalist Ted Hawkins was an instant sensation when this session was originally released in 1982. At a time when slick, heavily produced urban contemporary material was establishing its domination on the R&B scene, Hawkins' hard-edged, rough, cutting voice, plus his crisp acoustic guitar accompaniment and country-blues roots, seemed both ...

The Spirit of Venice, CA

Spirit of Venice, CA: A Collection of Venice is a reasonably entertaining budget-line collection of soft-rock hits from the early '70s. There are no surprises here and there's a little bit too much filler, but it's not a bad collection, considering its budget price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
