| This is an absolutely incredible song... and I must admit that I also love the Molly Hatchet cover version... |

| Man, has it been that many years since I sat listening to this on my Sears Silvertone stereo? It's good to hear this again, but a little hard as it makes me think of my friend Barney, gone these many years, with whom I shared so many aventures in those days. RIP, brother. |
| It makes me feel like a hippy just listening to it. |

I can close my eyes and be anywhere - driving down a long stretch of two-lane highway with no cars and only the sunrise in my eyes. I can be at the top of a mountain, with the clouds below me and the snow brushing my face. I can be on a sandy beach with white sand, sunshine, and the sound of a ukelele in the distance. I can be anywhere, doing anything. This song takes me to those places. The Allman Brothers' music always does that to me. Okay - you drink your white chai tea or sniff your glue or whatever else you might do to get inspired. I listen to the music of RadioParadise, and it keeps me alive and motivates me and inspires me. I love RP. Shutting up now. Please, no glue. Ever. Old white guys drink chai tea? I must have missed the email. Know what you mean about the Allman Bros, though! Peace! |
| The Allmans are the closest thing to jazz rock gets: just beautiful mood inducing music. Rock on, Duane and Dickie!! |
| This song is soooo good it puts a spring in my step this spring night! |

| kayakkate wrote: it took me 30 years to figure it out, but this song is about Martin Luther King, Jr. and if it isn't, it could be. I don't know enough about the personal beliefs or politics of the Allmans, and this is a huge generalization, but I doubt a southern-fried rock band in the late 60s or early 70s would be writing about MLK. I could be wrong, but that would be an interesting discussion. |
