Eddie Hinton's cadre of secret fans know what the world is about to find out; Eddie Hinton may be the greatest unknown musician you've never heard. Moisés Gonzalez and Deryle Perryman's documentary traces the southern soulman through archival footage, and interviews with Jerry Wexler, Donnie Fritts, Dick Cooper, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, the Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood, Bill Blackburn and many others. Hinton, widely regarded in the industry as the finest blue-eyed soul singer-songwriter-guitarist, played on more than 200 albums (Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, many more) and wrote hundreds of songs that were covered by Aretha Franklin, UB40 and countless others. 75 min., USA.
Preceded by a short documentary about Oklahoma prison rodeos directed by Noise Pop Film standby Bradley Beesley. It just wouldn't bea Noise Pop Film Festival without him.
