Once upon a time, in a holler far, far away, a music revolution was born when the cries of Hasil “The Haze” Adkins, the last of ten Adkins children, first echoed across Appalachia. No one knows the exact date of the event. Though it was recorded in a family Bible, the Bible was lost. At an early age, Hasil beat out insane rhythms on a milk can for hours. He soon discovered that, if he hung around long enough, the adults around him would get drunk enough to let him play their guitars.
As a child Hasil had heard one person singing on the radio and thought they were playing several instruments all by themselves so as a result he mastered a wide range of instruments and could play many of them simultaneously and began performing and recording as a One Man Band, partly out of his own necessity as much as his own unique vision.

Through his music, Rockabilly was rounded out, (he’s named, along with Elvis, as a “book-end” of the genre), the first, (and subsequent) rounds of Punk were heavily influenced and Psychobilly was born. http://realdeepblues.blogspot.fr/2011/01/why-cuzn-wildweed-ron-smith-and-hasil.html
