Search - Eddie Hinton :: Dear Y'all: The Songwriting Sessions

This critically acclaimed release features early demos from the late Muscle Shoals session guitarist and hit maker Eddie Hinton, and it's wonderfully basic. But when the back-up musicians include David Hood, Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, Spooner Oldham and Jimmy Johnson, there can be few complaints -- especially with the raw voice of Eddie Hinton out front. Nearly every song on this album is a Hinton original and it's intriguing to hear how Every Natural Thing started out before Aretha Franklin recorded it, or how Cover Me and It's All Wrong But It's All Right was heard before becoming property of Percy Sledge. A remarkable release that brings validity to the sometimes despised 'white southern soul' tag.
