This is a bargain bin album that I grabbed because this guy did work with Muscle Shoals back in the day, and one of my favs of that sound, Eddie Hinton, is on a track or two. So in looking into it, apparently all the strings, flute, and orchestral arrangement was added in post production, and Mr. Lampe was not happy about it. He thinks they destroyed his record. I love that crap, so it works for me, but you can hear, underneath that, some hard wrought, bare bones southern soul ballads that would be amazing without all that orchestration. Could've been like Dan Penn or Jim Ford if they'd produced it differently. Regardless, you guys probably didn't know that you didn't even care about this.
here's an eddie hinton jam
