HASIL ADKINS
What is there to say about a small boy who heard the radio announcer introduce a song by Hank Williams and assumed that he was playing all the instruments and singing simultaneously, just as Hasil Adkins does on What the Hell Was I Thinking?
It's hard to know, given that Hasil was living in a feudal society surrounded by but not having anything at all to do with the United States of America. He was beating on a four-gallon tin can and singing at the age of five. He progressed to a series of toy guitars and kazoos. By the late '50s Hasil (whose store-bought sign read "One of the Greatest Shows on Earth, the One Man Band Haze Adkins and his Happy Guitar") was playing the roughest joints in the territory, eeking out a living entertaining miners on payday.
But it was during the '70s that Hasil developed into the artist he is today. He experimented with different names - The Haze, The Wild Man from Van, and perhaps his biggest achievement, The Hunch - and he loved to go a-Hunchin' in the night, to catch some little waitress who knew how to Hunch that thing. Hasil was a Hunch-in-Progress: he defined it believed in it, even prayed to and for it. It loved him almost as much as he loved it. Obviously, Hasil was just as confused about what to call himself as he was who to sound like, namely Hank Williams or Jerry Lee Lewis. He loved Hank and knew he was the best, but every time he opened his mouth to sing it sounded like Jerry Lee, so go figure. It might simplify this odd situation to say that if Hasil had had a secretary during the '70s, and if anybody had called, she would've said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Haze is out to Hunch. He said he'd hope to be back from hunchin' around Dark-thirty, Dark-forty-five."
Truth to tell, it's not unusual for Hasil to converse with the hound. He still is: "What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten, Igor? I'll bet I've eaten something weirder than you." He pauses and looks around the trailer. "Wish I was somewhere else, the desert or something. It would be a nice day to be driving across the desert in a good car going about as fast as you'd ever want to go. I'd probably get to run over some mean snakes."
