High Time
Album 2006 on Emphasis Records label
R&B/Soul and Blues (Chicago Blues, Rhythm’n’Blues, Delta Blues, Soul)
High Time is an eclectic mix of authentic Blues, Soul, Rock, Spiritual and R&B songs. Songs that relate to life and times, love and relationships, dancing and simply having fun. The "musicians having fun" aspect is apparent on several of the tracks as in "Take Me Back To Memphis", a song that does what the title says, takes us back to the early 1970s with a funky - soulful classic Stax Records vibe. Via Hawkins vocal and drum stylings and the soulful guitar work of Drew Stawin and Johnny "Guitar" Brown, the expressive tenor sax of Wally Tarado, the grooving bass of Terrell "Cool" Robinson, the dynamic Atlanta Horns, and other supporting musicians, High Time takes us on a wonderful musical journey through the sounds, moods and grooves of the late 1960s -- early to mid 1970s. As with his previous Southern Rock release, "Georgia Jam", Hawkins and company holds true to themselves by going against the grain of current popular music and productions. Creating music they love, rather than music to be trendy. The songs on High Time are delivered with heart. True human emotional elements are captured and retained throughout the track list. Hawkins had a desire to record an album where the musician's creative visions and self-expressions could be realized on the spot. Says Hawkins; "We wanted to record some music that we love, so we did it. We didn't try to be modern, simply singing, playing and having fun with it. We took it all back to simple and 'the natural feel". If you are into Chicago Blues, Memphis Soul, and West Coast R&B, then High Time is a not to miss CD! Hawkins & company hope you have a High Time listening!
