Dr HepCat brings us another chapter in our Eddie Hinton saga - a live set from Atlanta with the band The Nighthawks. This was recorded in 1979 and includes some killer covers of great songs from Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.
But if it had have been down to me I would have thrown the tapes. Must have been a real shit microphone stuffed beneath some baffle-thick stage-risers just under the drums. Fascinating for a sudden head-over-heels Hinton addict like my scintillating and fatally-attractive self but a bit sad in the live sound stakes ..... happy to have the unexpected opportunity to hear it.

It was a big & pleasant surprise to see this. Yeah, the sound is pretty crummy but I'm still glad to get to hear it.
Thanks a lot KingCake.

I would really appreciate it if this link could be renewed. Eddie was the greatest White Soul voice that ever was! Thank You!
