The Strange Story of Eddie Hinton
Barney Hoskyns, Soul Survivor, 1987
"EDDIE HINTON", says ex-Atlantic honcho Jerry Wexler, "was always the guy who would be next year's big thing. He'd sit out on the back porch of Muscle Shoals with Bob Dylan, and we all knew that he was about to make the record that would blow everybody away."
