Hasil Adkins was a one-man mind-wrecking force from Boone County, West Virginia. Known as The Haze, he's generally credited as the father of pyschobilly and has been covered by artists from The Cramps to Tom Petty.
He usually accompanied himself, sometimes singing, sometimes jawing, sometimes whooping incoherently.
He sure liked chicken.
In 2005 he was run over by a kid on an ATV. If there's a Heaven, and if The Haze made it in, I imagine he's got everybody doing The Hunch by now.
