Although it's a studio effort (recorded while Hawkins was on tour in Australia a year before the album's release), I Shake My Stick at You manages to capture the energy and looseness of a live gig -- in fact, with the addition of audience cheering, you could be fooled into believing it's a concert recording.

Review by Greg Prato

For many, when you think of early rock & roll, certain images and sounds immediately come to mind -- Chuck Berry strumming his red Gibson while duck-walking, a sweaty Little Richard wailing into the mike, Jerry Lee Lewis bashing the piano, etc. But what's often forgotten is that in rock's dawning moments, horns played a big part in the then-new genre's sound. And Screamin' Jay Hawkins was one of rock's early artists to embrace blaring saxophones -- as well as theatrics. As evidenced by the 1994 release I Shake My Stick at You, Hawkins was rockin' and hollerin' till the very end. Although it's a studio effort (recorded while Hawkins was on tour in Australia a year before the album's release), I Shake My Stick at You manages to capture the energy and looseness of a live gig -- in fact, with the addition of audience cheering, you could be fooled into believing it's a concert recording. Hawkins is at the top of his game on such highlights as the album-opening "Live Love or Die," "Because of You," and the X-rated "Furburger." If you're interested in digging a bit deeper into Hawkins' catalog beyond just "I Put a Spell on You" and perhaps a hits set, I Shake My Stick at You is certainly one of his stronger studio releases (which is quite an accomplishment, considering it appeared this late in Hawkins' career).

Notes @ cduniverse

This is a re-release of Screamin' Jay Hawkins's 1994 studio album, I SHAKE MY STICK AT YOU. It's amazing enough that Screamin' Jay, a pioneer from rock & roll's early days, was still recording in the 1990s, but that he sounded this vital, outrageous, and--well--amazing after 40 years in the business is downright shocking. Hawkins was never much for variation, or subtlety, but that wasn't what made him great. What did make him great--his Dionysian spirit, his crazed hoodoo-man vocals, his outrageous sense of theatricality--is all here, and better than ever. Check out "Live Love or Die," "Cookie Time," and the self-explanatory "Fur Burger."
