Drive-By Truckers have joined The Heavy in being one of the few bands EVER selected by Letterman to play the same song twice (on one show) for him because he thought the performance was so damn great. The band covered the Eddie Hinton classic "Everybody Needs Love." Watch it below and pick up their new album Go-Go Boots on iTunes , Amazon MP3 , CD Social Bookmarking
TA great song from an truly under appreciated legend. Known primarily for his work as a Muscle Shoals Sound session man, Eddie also has one of the most authentic and soulful voices I have ever heard.
(Diversions, a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, catches up with our favorite artists as they wax on subjects other than recording and performing.) One cannot overstate the power of regionalism. Growing up in Georgia, in a rather musical household, I assumed the music of Eddie Hinton was as well known as, say, that of Sam [...]
Gotta put on your go-go boots for this one. The still mighty Drive-By Truckers expertly cover nearly forgotten white soul singer and guitarist Eddie Hinton's Everybody Needs Love on their brand new album, and I bet you're just dying to know what the original sounds like. "There are moon beams we can dream on, when our working day is done; there are stars we can wish upon, at the setting of the sun; there are sunsets we can cry over, put our troubles on the run..." Eddie Hinton - Everybody Needs Love MP3 [...]
Generous donations from Swiss biomedical entrepreneur Hansjörg Wyss and a Wyoming ranching family have given the Wilderness Medicine Institute ( WMI ) of the National Outdoor Leadership School ( NOLS ) the holiday gift of its dreams: a wilderness medicine campus in the State of Wyoming. Take a look at a picture of the future location of the campus in Red Canyon, MT here and then read more about NOLS' plans here [...]
So there's been a bit of Eddie Hinton love going on round here lately, firstly with some covers from Drive-By Truckers , then the superb "Breakfast In Bed" as sung by Dusty Springfield, and now, to finish it off, a song from the man himself. Ooh, a Blonde Tele You want beautiful Country Soul from one of the pioneers? Here you go. Grab yourself the " Country Got Soul " compilations if you like this. Which, of course, [...]
An artist that will forever go down as one of the key architects of Southern soul, the late Eddie Hinton is about as swampy as the genre gets. A veritable Muscle Shoals renaissance man, Hinton paid the bills as a scratch session musician, in the town's famed rhythm section, contributing to some of the most [...]
Last December I posted a compilation of cover songs perfomed by the Drive-By Trucker's . The original compiler was (and is) of unknown origin but the compilation has just been begging for a follow-up. Enter Smitty from the DBT mailing list. He's taken the liberty of assembling a new collection of covers songs culled from the numerous live DBT shows freely available on the internet. He is supposed to have a Vol. 3 already near completion as well as a collection of unreleased DBT originals. I dunno about you, but I'm looking forward to [...]
