Willie Mitchell's Driving Beat is a mids 60s instrumental album by Memphis bandleader and producer Willie Mitchell, released on Hi Records. Recorded before Mitchell became the architect behind Al Green's golden run, it catches him confident, swinging, and already in command of a sound distinctly his own.
