My guest today is one of the most highly decorated musicians in our countries history.
To him music has no idiomatic label- it's just music. This is evidenced by the list of musicians he has collaborated with over the years.
Greg Allman, Herbie Mann, The Staples Singers, LULU, Levon Helm, Bobby Womack, Lonnie Mack, Russell Smith, Willie Nelson and Millie Jackson.
I have covered studio cats who played MoTown and The Wrecking Crew in Southern California. Today I have an opportunity to continue my regional exploration of music that existed in this country. That being Muscle Schoals.
My guest was part of The Rhythm Section that Locked the groove for curious artists looking for a gulf coast feel. Along with Roger Hawkins and Barry Beckett my guest found his way in, out up and around the cosmic vortex of eccentric personalities, pentatonic scales and passion that makes music feel good.
