Music lovers of jazzy blues, this is a passionate, emotionally infused performance of the Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell classic. The arrangement is dynamic, loaded with feel and live orchestration. If you like classics, then you will love this rendition.

One might assume a remake of this song is pointless and would fall short after Ray Charles' stamp was placed on it.   However, music making simply doesn't get any better than on this classic. Hawkins, a man of understated musical sophistication went into the studio for one-day and recorded a timeless, definitive, and fully orchestrated performance of the song with straightforward simplicity, mapping out the lyric with his mastery of vocal phrasing and clarity. If you do not know of Hawkins or his recordings, this magnificent new rendition of Georgia On My Mind is a honey pot attraction, an essential purchase, and jaw-dropping good.
