Ted Hawkins


Recorded in ‘71 and released in ‘82, Ted Hawkins’ Watch Your Step is chock-full of great cheatin', baby-please-don't-go, humorous, and heart-breaking folk-blues. For a good intro to Hawkins, check out this C’est N’est Pas Un Blog post. "The Lost Ones" child's eye view of dislocation and desperation would have dwelled justly in Charles Burnett's 1977 neo-realist masterpiece Killer of Sheep.
