On his 22nd birthday, a sick Duane Allman was given a bottle of pills for his fever by younger brother Gregg. Duane emptied the bottle and used it as a slide to play Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues." So was born a sound essential and unique to The Allman Brothers, formed four months later. The humble man with blistering guitar licks was gone before he reached 25.
giving this a run tonight... actualy like it quite a lot! Its more melodic than some of his more challenging stuff, so its easy enough to get into ... reminds me of raindogs/swordfishtrombones. I think its a winner...
