Hello.
The vitriol from our last post having dissipated, we here at the Unincorporated have moved on. But Southern California insists upon revisiting us; thankfully, in good ways.
We have been graced to discover Ted Hawkins. Ted's initial rise to notoriety was as local as it gets, performing on the boardwalk on Venice Beach. From there, he went on to cut several albums in the 80s and 90s, leaving his greatest impression on the boardwalk in the US, but rising out of obscurity in Europe and attaining the phenomena of continental cult status (how does that happen?). His voice is as good as it gets, part Sam Cooke, part tobacco worn gravel. Sadly he died at 58 in the 1990s of a stroke.
There Stands the Glass - Ted Hawkins
Enjoy.
