AUDIO: Don Nix (1985)
Barney Hoskyns, Rock's Backpages Audio, 1985
A languid, laid-back chat with the man who was always there: at the start of southern soul in Memphis with the Mar-Keys, on the road with Leon Russell, in L.A. with J.J. Cale and on. On the musicians he knew, scenes he was part of, and on that thorny subject, race.
