Guitarist, songwriter, and singer Eddie Hinton may be one of the great, unheralded white blues
musicians of all time. Fortunately, fans can latch onto a few recordings on compact disc.
Hinton died far too young at the age of 51 on July 28, 1995, yet his guitar playing can be heard
all over famous recordings by famous people -- hit records by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett,
Joe Tex, Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, the Staple Singers, the Dells, Johnny Taylor,
Elvis Presley, Boz Scaggs, Hour Glass, Otis Redding, and even reggae star T
oots Hibbert of Toots & the Maytals.Hinton was a session guitarist non-pareil.
After working with Southern bands like the Spooks and the Five Minutes, he played
lead guitar for Muscle Shoals Sound rhythm section from 1967 to 1971.
What most people didn't know at the time was that Hinton was also a talented
singer, songwriter, arranger and producer in his own right

In his book Sweet Soul Music, Peter Guralnick described Eddie Hinton as "the last of the
great white soul singers," and his debut album, 1978's Very Extremely Dangerous, sounds
like a glorious throwback to the salad days of the Muscle Shoals, AL, R&B hit factory
of the 1960s, where Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin cut some of their most memorable
songs. Hinton had already earned an estimable reputation as a session guitarist by the
time he finally got to step up to the mic as a solo artist, and Very Extremely Dangerous
features him backed up by the always-expert Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section,
and Hinton's strong and wiry guitar runs fit the group's emphatic support like a glove.
(Hinton and his friends also knew how to bring a solid rock drive to these songs
without losing their soulful groove in the process.) It was Eddie Hinton's poor fortune
to cut a great blue-eyed soul album just as disco and funk had bumped deep soul
off the charts, but Very Extremely Dangerous still stands as a fine example
of latter-day soul at its most accomplished...(AllMusic)
