"I Put A Spell On You - The Best Of" on CD is a powerful introduction to the raw, theatrical world of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, one of the true pioneers of shock rock and voodoo-tinged rhythm & blues. Centered around his iconic anthem "I Put A Spell On You" - a track that reshaped the possibilities of vocal performance with its wild growls, operatic flourishes, and eerie atmosphere - this compilation gathers many of his most distinctive recordings in one place. Listeners will find a mix of macabre humor, bluesy swagger, and dark romanticism, delivered with a voice that shifts effortlessly from a deep, menacing croon to spine-tingling screams. The CD is ideal both for newcomers who want a definitive overview and for long-time fans who appreciate having key titles together in a single, coherent collection. Screamin' Jay Hawkins was a trailblazer whose stage persona - coffins, skulls, capes, and theatrical horror elements - helped pave the way for later rock and performance artists who combined music with shock and spectacle. Beyond the legendary "I Put A Spell On You," he became known for his fearless blend of blues, R&B, and early rock 'n' roll, influencing generations of musicians with his unapologetically eccentric style and larger-than-life presence. Though often celebrated as a cult figure, his work is widely regarded as a cornerstone of modern rock theatrics and darkly comic songwriting. The CD is released by EPC, a label associated with a broad portfolio of popular and catalog titles. EPC focuses on presenting important recordings in accessible formats, offering listeners carefully curated editions of classic albums and compilations. With "I Put A Spell On You - The Best Of," EPC provides a concise yet evocative portrait of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' unique universe, allowing his signature track and other standout songs to shine with punchy, direct sound and straightforward packaging that emphasizes the music itself.
