Hi Rhythm Section

The Hi Rhythm Section was the house band for hit soul albums by several artists, including Al Green and Ann Peebles, on Willie Mitchell's Hi Records label in the 1970s. The Hi Rhythm Section's distinctive, warm, swirling soul sound was a major ingredient in the success of the label through the 1970s. Three members of the Hodges musical family played guitar, organ and bass for the group; their naturally closeknit, familial warmth brought a unique, intuitive groove to the group's sound. The band was originally organized and brought together by producer Willie Mitchell, recording them at his Royal Recording Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, on many albums by popular soul artists, beginning in the late 1960s.
