Southern Fried is an album of blues music by John Hammond. It was recorded in 1969 at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama, and features several members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. Duane Allman plays guitar on four of the songs.[1][2][3]
On AllMusic, Richie Unterberger wrote, "Where this might have a leg up on some other early Hammond efforts – and a leg up on blues cover albums in general – is in the stellar band, featuring Muscle Shoals stalwarts like Eddie Hinton and Roger Hawkins."[1]
When the album was released, Billboard said, "A fine effort by Hammond whose talents are showcased with superb backgrounds and, of course, expert production."[2]
