Episode 10: Atlanta Guitar Legend – Rick Hinkle (Part 1)
Today, Brian takes the first half of the show to discuss the importance of building and cultivating long-lasting professional relationships. He talks about how his industry connections have grown into close, personal friendships over decades. Brian also outlines how that has effected his ability to get steady work over the last 25+ years and how those friendships have helped in times of personal difficulty.
Brian also gives you some very important questions to ask yourself if you find this building of strong, long-lasting relationships to be a problem for you.
Next, we step into a time machine, Marty McFly-style and go back 15 years, to 2006. Today’s interview with Atlanta-native and session guitar legend Rick Hinkle was originally recorded for Brian’s very first podcast series (The Music Pro Show) and released in late 2006 / early 2007.
Rick’s recording credits over the last 50 years are too long and numerous to list here but a few of those artists whose albums Rick has played on include Paul Davis, Ben E. King, Air Raid (produced by Eddie Kramer), Sandra Hall, Vassar Clements, Kevn Kinney, Mose Jones, Grammy nominated Soul singer Howard Tate, Producer Jerry Ragavoy, and many more.
Rick is also the guitarist on the 80’s smash hit “PacMan Fever” by Buckner & Garcia.
In addition to his studio work, Rick has been an in-demand freelance guitarist for live gigs as far back as the late 60’s. Some of the marquee artists that Rick has worked for include The Tams and Lotsa Poppa.
For several years throughout the 2000’s, Brian and Rick worked together in an Atlanta-based wedding/corporate band called The Interactive Band which featured female vocalist Susan C. Bennett (who the world now knows as the Original Voice of Siri).
In this conversation, Brian and Rick discuss:
- Music & Life Before VS After The Beatles
- The Influence of Rick’s Parents On His Career
- Working In Atlanta Studios in the 1970’s and 80’s
- Recording the Air Raid album with Producer/Engineer Eddie Kramer
- What Makes A Good Session Guitarist?
- Recording The Guitar Parts for Buckner & Garcia’s “PacMan Fever”
