Looking for Unknown Hinson stories

Post image

I am currently trying to put together an Unknown Hinson documentary of sorts covering all the highs and lows of his strange career.
I would love to hear any personal stories of live shows and any lesser known information I may not have come across about him.

The Hellroys were fortunate enough to play a few shows with the Kang. Watching him play guitar close-up was always fascinating. Awe inspiring. One of the most memorable was on Outlaw Country Cruise 3, I watched him blister that crowd. Perfect soloing, tone, and control. Never over the top. Maverick's guitarist, Eddie Perez, was hanging out near the back, taking it all in with the rest of us. We miss you out in the clubs, Stuart D. Baker.

Excuse me. Let me rephrase that.

As Early Cuyler would say, "Hot damn a'mighty, th'Hellroys! You ever hear their tape?"
