Richard Hayman and His Orchestra - "Voodoo!" (1959) - Mercury Records
Hello Friends,
The natives are restless on Vinyl in the Valley tonight! I'm busy playing records and mixing up some cocktails while Tiki T. is busy poking needles into some voodoo doll she made! Man, I hope these chest pains are just indigestion!
Aptly titled, "Voodoo", this album is weird and scary like a good tiki album should be. The rhythms are tribal and spell-binding. The moods are exotic and dense. This reaks of atmosphere! Perfect for your next Halloween party!
As the liner notes state: "Here is the fearsome fire and the brewing pot. Here are the frightening shadows... You're not alone any longer. The room is shaken with the frantic dances of the hungans-- so-called priests of voodoo... the cauldron boils and froths. The walls echo to the cries and wails of the believers. That's voodoo!"
There's a very soundtrack-y feel to this record. Its almost as if Hayman was scoring a 1950's travel documentary about Haitian sugar plantations after dark! One "song"-- "Incantation"-- with its exaggerated shaman incantations, actually makes you feel like some of the bodies buried in the backyard have started stirring!
