(July 2022) Episode 427 is SCREAMIN’ JAY HAWKINS. His contribution to the emergence of rock-n-roll was primarily his wild and macabre stage performances, making him a pioneer of shock rock. The music was a mix of blues and R&B delivered in his booming operatic baritone, but is more style than substance.
