Allen Hinds

from Sixty Scales and the Truth with Niels Guns · host Niels Guns | Guitar Interview Podcast

One of my favorite things to do is visiting guitarists in their own space. Allen Hinds was kind enough to welcome me into his home in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. Not only did he treat me to the strongest coffee I’ve ever had, but also to a deeply honest conversation where he shared his life’s journey in a raw and vulnerable way.Allen has been through some of life’s darkest moments—and he came out on the other side. His latest album, The Good Fight, is a beautiful testament to that. If you ask me, Allen has one of the most elegant guitar tones you’ll ever hear. I got to see him live at The Baked Potato, and—wow—his improvisations are just as delicate as they are adventurous.More than anything, Alan turned out to be an incredibly kind and generous person. Oh, and if you’re a Jeff Buckley fan, make sure to listen to Allen’s stories—he’s got some amazing anecdotes!
