Moman: "He walked into Smart's Drug Store where I was sitting there playing this boy's guitar. And he asked me if I wanted a job and I said, 'Doing what?'" Amazing!<br /><br />After Smith's band, he went to California with Johnny Burnette, did studio work, and ended up playing for Gene Vincent. It was after getting in a car wreck with Vincent that he moved back to Memphis to recuperate and the sessions that started Stax took off. Just incredible how much music this guy was a part of. <br /><br />I knew he'd played with Burnette and Vincent, but the other details come from a great interview with Moman on georgiarhythm.com.Joe Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060317452146257550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461510719135754735.post-17704095176644071032010-09-26T15:03:40.871-04:002010-09-26T15:03:40.871-04:00Excellent post.

I have a hard time keeping track of all those behind-the-scenes Memphis guys, and can generally only reckon the ones who broke out with solo careers, like Isaac Hayes. <br /><br />I can't believe you made it through this post without mentioning the name "Spooner Oldham."Tom Nawrockihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03766845038505392731noreply@blogger.com
