Hasil Adkins

Hasil Adkins was a one-man blizzard of weird American music. A firm favourite of the Cramps (who covered his song “She Said ”) he threw everything but the kitchen sink into his demented recordings and sounded like nothing heard before or since.
Everything about him is weird including his death, mown down by a rampaging adolescent on a killing spree atop a quad bike. He made his first guitar from a bucket and although he eventually moved on up to real instruments that bucket always made itself heard.
