Don Nix:

Hobos, Heroes and Street Corner Clowns:(1973)

Don, who? Don't know the name? You're probably not alone, but you probably DO know his work. Don Nix started out playing sax in the Mar-Keys, who had early hits for Stax records. He then transitioned into production/writing/arranging work for Stax, working with artists like The Staple Singers and Freddie King. Outside the company he worked with Leon Russell, and George Harrison. Here on this '73 release are the gentle sounds of a seventies singer/songwriter album tempered with the Southern flavor Nix had helped cultivate throughout his career.
