This song sounds PERFECT, especially after a nice lobster-pot bath and a blow-out feast of fresh seafood and sake...perfect for contemplating the fact that it may just be the last time for all these things in such quality or combination for who knows how long...and yet also perfect for giving me reason to be joyful in the knowledge that I am about to release myself from this local gravity and resume orbit around an old familiar planet chock-full of Rock Medicine that always does me the biggest...  Ahh, here comes Gomez' "Just As Lost As You"...and it's PERFECT...

Gregg Allman playlist: Blues Vocals

Allman heard his first blues - by Howlin' Wolf - as a teen. "Though it's pretty basic in structure, it carries a lot of emotion," he says. "It can bring your spirits up, or if you're in a hole, it can get you deeper. It's amazing what they do with those three chords."

1. "The Danger Zone" | Ray Charles, 1961
I think it's the first political song he ever did, about the apocalypse. I thought it was very strange that he'd do something like that, but it has always appealed to me. It stops and starts, and it's very soulful.
2. "Grits Ain't Groceries" | Little Milton, 1969
Oh, God, that intro - "If I don't love you, baby!" It sends chills up my spine. It sounds like he's singing that song on one knee, with a ring in his hand.
3. "What's Going On" | Marvin Gaye, 1971
If anyone could sing the blues, it was Marvin. He made some of the most soulful sounds I've ever heard from anybody.
4. "Born In Chicago" | The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, 1965
His signature tune. He brought that killer harp to the blues. The whole band, with Mike Bloomfield on guitar, is killer.
5. "Driftin' Blues" | Bobby "Blue" Bland, 1967
It kinda just floats, and Bland sings like he's got his feet up on a footstool, kicking back with a drink.
6. "Losing Faith in You" | B.B. King, 1968
It sounds like he borrowed Ray Charles' band. They're on fire.
7. "Nine Below Zero" | Sonny Boy Williamson, 1961
What he does with that fucking harmonica is amazing, and the low notes can shake the house, man.
8. "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)" | Taj Mahal, 1968
Taj's singing goes over the top. It's about a guy who screwed up. One time in my life, I could relate to that!
9. "Born Under A Bad Sign" | Albert King, 1967
My brother Duane and I really dug him. I don't know a guitar player alive who didn't cut their teeth on Albert.
10. "Gypsy Woman" | Muddy Waters, 1947
I love that lyric "You your mama's bad-luck child!" That just kills me.

Wow, that picture is mind-blowing. I never thought the Allman brothers would ever look like clean-cut British Invasion wannabes. It'd be really interesting to hear Gregg's voice during those tender years. 

Anybody else remember that craziness when Gregg married Cher for all of, what, a month? And didn't he get back together with her for another cup of coffee? Drugs make you do crazy things...
 


Yeah, I was looking back at that picture after I posted my last comment—  WOW!  That is cool...

Traveled a lot to catch Blues musicians of every style, been to many interviews and workshops. It's a good bet that the interviewer is going to bring up the subject of color and a "right" to sing the Blues, but a sure bet that the musician is going to respond that only the music matters, and it better be true.

You should check out his new album with TBone Burnett.  Its not great but it is quite tasty.  More of that white blues you mentioned.

Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule are noticeably absent from the RP repertoire. Hayne's "Man in Motion" is out in May. Thanks Bill!

To me, Greg sounds tired on most recordings.  As a Midnight Rider, however, wouldn't you think it apropos?

Thirded. His version of "These Days" trumps Jackson Browne's original.
"Queen of Hearts" is excellent too.

It is originally a TABB song from Idlewild South, their second album.  1970 if my memory serves me.

Quick, to the Amazon.........
  When you say "this track" do you mean "Midnight Rider" or "Multi-colored Lady"?  Because Midnight Rider gets played daily it seems on "Classic Rock that Really Rocks" stations.  At least, here in the South, that's the case.

'Cause it's been covered quite a bit. Hank Williams Jr. had a popular (in some circles) version.
