American one-man-band singer-songwriter (April 29, 1937 – April 26, 2005) known for wild rockabilly, frenetic one-man performances and eccentric/outsider lyrical themes.

Eccentric one-man-band performer whose songs often reference chickens, alcohol and violent or depraved themes; rediscovered by the early 1980s garage/psychobilly revival. Norton Records released Out To Hunch, the record that brought wider attention to his earlier home-recorded material.

Lewis Tollani's DeBaser review presents Hasil Adkins as an explosive one-man-band blending country, rock'n'roll and outright madness. The review highlights his eccentric themes (chickens, booze, violence) and frenetic guitar/drum/harmonica performances. Out To Hunch is presented as the Norton-distributed record that reintroduced him to a wider audience.

For:Fans of outsider rock, rockabilly, psychobilly, one-man-band performances and eccentric roots music.

 Imagine Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Johnny Cash, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, George Jones, Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Dolemite, Thomas Edison, Uncle Jesse, Grandpa Muster, Groucho Marx, Johnny B. Goode, Casanova, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Sitting Bull all rolled into one person and you'll start to get the idea
