| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: May 08, 2012 - 18:25 Fabulous. Duane would love it, and I bet Greg does. |
| hikerted | Posted: Mar 06, 2012 - 08:42 I've heard several covers of Little Martha over the years. This is one of the best. RP made it easy to check out the rest of the album as I've never heard of Jerry Douglas before. Bought the download! Doncha love this modern world? =) |
| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: May 02, 2009 - 18:23 My vote is Duane would approve. |

I was listening to this as I was doing something else and it caught me, I thought "here's a Leo Kottke song I've never heard before" then checked and it is Jerry Douglas, this got a 9 from me, it's beautiful.. |

| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Aug 23, 2008 - 04:15 Infinitely preferable to the previous drivel....... |
| Mugro (Lane Village, Red Sox Nation) | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 12:19 This cover is quite likeable... |
| jhorton | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 12:14 Suppose it's a brave cover choice, but the original is such a masterpiece, this one just doesn't do it for me. |
| dixiedeb (Augusta, GA) | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 12:12 Jerry Douglas is a fine musician. |
| posworld | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 12:11 Please put Bill Frisell into the playlist. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 12:09 This is one sweet cover... rest in peace, Duane... |
| sharkartist | Posted: May 20, 2008 - 13:28 What a lovely sounding instrument, those dobros. |

Too right. It pains me ears. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Martha The story goes that Allman had a dream where Jimi Hendrix showed him the melody of the tune in a Holiday Inn motel bathroom, using the sink faucet as a guitar fretboard. Remembering the melody during the October 1971 sessions that produced most of the third side of what would become Eat A Peach, Allman laid down the track, joined only by Dickey Betts and bassist Berry Oakley, though Oakley's part would be mixed out of the final version, leaving the number as a duet for the two guitarists. (Oakley's part would be restored on the 1989 box set Dreams.) The song's namesake was Martha Ellis, a twelve-year-old girl whose grave the Allman Brothers Band had come across during their frequent trips to Rose Hill Cemetery in their homebase of Macon, Georgia. (Both Duane Allman himself and Berry Oakley would be buried there by the end of 1972). As with Dickey Betts' 1970 instrumental "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", the song was named for one person but actually about somebody else. Allman envisioned it as an ode to his then-girlfriend, a groupie named Dixie Meadows, who later would sue to control Allman's estate after his death, going as far to assume the name "Dixie Allman". Her claim was rejected in favor of Allman's young daughter Galadrielle, whom he had with his former common law wife, Donna Roosman. Great information & thanks for the insight into the history of this tune and a great band! |

| YourNameHere (Los Angeles) | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 14:36 I like this version better than Kottke's but the original is tough to beat. |

Little Feet? |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 14:33 Great dobro playing! |
| walkerpub (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 14:32 Actually it's an Allman Brothers tune... |
| lwilkinson (North Am) | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 14:31 Not quite the soul of a Sonny Landreth but mellow and enjoyable none-the-less. |

Never heard of this guy before. It's actually the dobro that he's playing. And he is quite good at it! You'll also find him in Allison Krauss' Union Station band. |
| Honeyman (Costa Mesa, CA.) | Posted: Jan 15, 2008 - 14:30 Nice guitar work. Never heard of this guy before. |
