ABSTRACT

Editor’s note: I got to Drive-By Truckers’ last album Go Go Boots late but first time through I fell hard for “Everybody Needs Love”—a cover of a song 100 by the great lost soul singer/songwriter/guitar player Eddie Hinton. I recalled that name from credits on the back of beloved Percy Sledge records from the 60s, but I only learned recently Hinton himself was a performer. Patterson Hood schooled me in Go Go Boots’ liner notes. Thanks to him for allowing First to reprint his Boots’ tribute to Hinton here.
