    OM Backroads Ep:42. He put a Spell on You: The legendary Screamin' Jay Hawkins!
    Jul 25 2024
    Join us on a journey through the life and music of the legendary Screamin' Jay Hawkins, a trailblazing figure whose impact on rock 'n' roll and the blues reverberates to this day. Known for his wild stage presence, trademark growl, and flamboyant persona, Hawkins defied conventions and created a musical style uniquely his own. Born Jalacy Hawkins in the turbulent 1920s, his career took an unexpected turn with the recording of "I Put a Spell on You" in 1956, a song that would become his signature piece and a rock classic. But behind the theatrics and voodoo-inspired performances lay a complex artist grappling with personal demons and a restless creativity. We delve into Hawkins' early influences, his impact on the music industry, and the enduring mystery surrounding his life. From his electrifying live shows to his lesser-known collaborations and the lasting influence on artists like Alice Cooper and Tom Waits, this episode paints a vivid portrait of a man who defied categorization and left an indelible mark on the world of music. Tune in as we uncover the stories, the myths, and the magic of Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

    In 1864, a Tennessee slave named Jordan Anderson was freed when Union troops camped on the plantation of his master during the Civil War, and Jordan and his wife and children moved to Dayton, Ohio to start their lives as free people. A year later, Jordan heard from his former master, Col. PH Anderson, who asked him to come back to the plantation because the farm was failing and he was desperately needed.

    Unresolved Ep 19: Tyler Anderson
    Jul 11 2024
    Terri Hastings was confident her 17-year-old son, Tyler Anderson, would be able to work through his troubled teen years. After all, she knew a family member who was scared straight by a stint in a juvenile detention facility and went on to have a successful family and career. Tyler was to be sentenced on a breaking and entering charge in May of 2012; maybe this was lesson he needed to understand consequences. But Tyler never got the chance. He was gunned down the day before his hearing, and Akron police say they know exactly who did it. UNRESOLVED is collaboration between Ohio Mysteries and the Akron Beacon Journal.
