Note: Even though this documentary was only ever released on VHS this copy is much better than all other copies that can be found on the net (no interlacing nor audio sync issues), big thanks to Video Drome on okru for letting me share their rip here,
Great post!
Hasil Adkins is a legend in certain alternative music circles. This film features the late Billy Miller, who helped publicize Adkins through Kicks, the brilliant fanzine he founded with wife and fellow writer Miriam Linna.
Hasil Adkins is clearly not for everyone, but he’s still beloved by lovers of early rock and roll and cut several legendary singles.
