Eddie Hinton (1978) You Got Me Singin

 From his hidden masterpiece, Very Extremely Dangerous, Eddie Hinton's brand of Deep Soul is best displayed here on this late 70s cut. Starting as the guitarist for the classic The Swampers, house band for the famous Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama. He added creative guitar licks to many southern soul records but he also proved on his 1978 album he was just as strong as an artist in his own right. While the Memphis deep soul had slowed down by the end of the 70s as slick funk and Disco grooves took off, here he balances a mix of  Bobby Womack patented, oriental slide guitar with Stax horns and his own raspy wail. It sounds like it was an inspiration for The Eagles' Glenn Frey's first solo hit "I've Found Somebody" and clearly wasn't appreciated enough by critics, but he kept the Deep Soul alive on this record.
