Love You Most of All - More Songs from Venice BCH - 7566

Amazon.com This album is subtitled "More Songs from Venice Beach," and it's easy to imagine the late singer-guitarist sitting on the boardwalk, serenading passersby. There's a peacefulness about this music; Hawkins's playing is skillful and accomplished, and his voice goes down as smoothly as fine bourbon. In a way, it's rather ironic; Hawkins's life was anything but easy, and although he became a star overseas, he never garnered much attention in the U.S. until shortly before his death in 1995. This CD contains three previously unreleased tracks, along with Hawkins's take on several classics: "Dock of the Bay" is here, along with "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Chain Gang," and "59th Street Bridge Song." Blending elements of soul and even country with his blues with perfect aplomb, it's clear that Hawkins was an unusual talent, and it's sad that recognition of that fact came so late. --Genevieve Williams Product Description Love You Most of All is a collection of Ted Hawkins' unreleased tracks from the 1985 session that produced the album, from Venice Beach, and 5 additional recordings known as the Mattle Sessions" three of which are previously unreleased.
