Biography
Hasil was born desolate in Boone County, West Virginia, where he lived throughout his life. He was the youngest of 10 children, and was both severely depressive and hyperactive.
Nicknamed “The Haze”, Adkins, claimed a repertoire of over 9000 songs including over 7000 original compositions, recorded scores of small, micro-label 45s and is responsible for the birth of Norton Records, Psychobilly and a dance called “The Hunch”.
His music can be sad, humorous and/or frantic.
Recurring themes in Adkins’ work include love, heartbreak, hunchin’, police, death, decapitation, commodity meat, aliens, and chicken.
Some of his best known songs are “She Said,” “No More Hot Dogs,” “Beautiful Hills,” “We Got A Date,” and “Chicken Walk”.
Adkins recorded an entire album devoted to chickens entitled Poultry in Motion also including such songs as “Chicken Run,” “Chicken Hop,” “Chicken Flop,” “Chicken Wobble,” and “Chicken On The Bone”.
After the mid-1990s, he began performing less though remained dear to music critics and celebrants of all things outsiderish, such as Joe Coleman, and John Zorn. Hasil Adkins is a very strong influence on the band The Cramps. Adkins’s cult status is kept alive to the present day by the growing appreciation of, and demand for the work of mavericks and misfits.

Anyone have an mp3 of "I Got a Girl in Minnesota"? Looks like it was one of the last recordings put out before he died and I'm curious to hear it.

Тексты песен ясно отражают круг его интересов: секс, велфер, полеты в космос, консервы и отрезание голов. “Cummon, Baby, Don’t a-you be late, I want your head, I wannit tonight / Now honey, don’t you be afraid, coz I’m gonna cut your head off, about half past eight / You can’t eat no more hot dawgs, a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha” (No More Hot Dogs Ha Ha)

Один экземпляр каждой новой пластинки он посылает президенту США; в 70м он получает благодарственное письмо от Ричарда Никсона: “Senator Robert C. Byrd has forwarded a copy of your latest recording. I am very pleased by your thoughtfulness in bringing these particular selections to my attention.”
