A wonderful collection of 19 tracks recorded as songwriting demos. The songs are all delivered by a voice that someone once called 'the epitome of unbounded emotion'. A little Delbert McClinton meets James Brown, and kick it up a notch. 2000 release on Zane Records. Reader Reviews One of Muscle Shoals unsung heros,exposed and naked, for the world to hear if they would only take the time to listen. Eddie Hinton represented everything sacred and holy to the Good Book of Southern R&B. A Native son of Alabama, Hinton was revered by all who were fortune enough to be touched by his musical magic. Hailed by music crtics and worshiped by the icons of the industry, Hinton never had the privilage of enjoying the success that evaded him throughout his lifetime. "Dear Ya'll" is a treasure of unreleased outtakes along with released material in the making. From the opening tracks of "Build Your Own Fire" with Eddie's count down intro (a one......two.....) you know immediatly your in the presence of a giant. "Dangerous Highway" would not be out of place on any Otis Redding offering while "Hymn for the Lonely Hearts" begs for a contemporary remake. The anthemic "Get off in it" is rendered in it's raw,beautiful naked beginings finally commited to vinyl on the CD "Very Extremely Dangerous" released by Capricorn records in 1978 but due to internal distribution problems sunk without a trace. If your one of those people who appreciate raw naked emotional musical landscapes, look no further then the offerings of Eddie Hinton. After all, it's about time the world woke up to one of it's musical masters in the art of "Soul" and to give Eddie the recognition that is long overdue. Thanks to Zane records in the U.K. for putting this gem out. Now if only the American record companies would take heed, follow the heart of what music is all about.
