Guitarist: Steve Cropper

"Just to take it a little farther south of Nashville to Memphis for one of the greasiest solos ever - Hip Hug Her by Steve Cropper. I love that chicken-pickin' get-down-Loretta Tele sound for sure, but what really wangs my doodle is that bacon drippin' Whoowie! rosewood board Tele sound on this song. Makes me want to buy a shoe box Chevy and go cruisin'!"
- Tom Q.
Further Listening: Basically the house band at Stax Records, they played on hundreds of recordings. Try a good Sam & Dave or Otis Redding collection first.
