That's the best name Sounds like a Honkette name

Sad thing is , this hasn't been all that long ago but almost every man is Deseased i would love to give father time a good kick in the toilet !

Brian Swan, Not Duane playing this.

I, too, listened to the video without first reading the description and comments. Dang, this is great.

Duane was amazing, but I’ll take Mick Taylor.

Agreed!!

kenny baird for real though!

Joe Walsh credits Duane for ''showing ''him a thing or two on guitar

Especially when it's you!

+fullstrutn Duane showed lots of folk lots of badaass tricks with his badass guitar....never be another Duane or Gregg EVER!!!!!!

+Timothy Anderson You know it, Duane was like good country butter and sweet cream all rolled into one.

+Sandy Gordon It's not Duane. This was recorded in 2004. I think it's Kenny Baird. He sure does have the Duane thing down, though. It's ripping slide guitar.

Wish I knew what buttery meant ?? Sorry for being so stupid,

@@banditdad9837 I'm thinkin' smooth

Rest in peace Scott.

@saint jack it was more like a boulder...for us. Maybe where he's from, they have some HUGE boulders! y

+sillytele Have u ever heard of a guy named Duane Allman?

+vincent constable no one has ever come close to him

The best slide guitar player coming from the south by far...

Best slide guitarist from anywhere, ever! I heard him in person on more than one occasion.

Ever hear of a guitar player named, Jessie Ed Davis?

yes, it is awesome, but, no, the slide is what makes this the great song it is.

Michael Howard- It was Taj Mahal's version of this song ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMdnmM-TqtXWqHU.html )from his first album titled "Taj Mahal" (1968 on Columbia Records), featuring the late Jesse Ed Davis on slide guitar that actually inspired Duane Allman to start playing slide. Greg Allman tells the story in this clip starting around the 1:49 mark: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7KflJOdtb2XZaM.html The Allman Bros.' version is very similar to the Taj Mahal version and Duane's guitar parts fairly closely mimic those of Jesse Ed Davis. Of course the actual original version was recorded in 1928 by Blind Willie Mctell, the great 12 string blues guitarist from Georgia. I love McTell's version the most but it is quite different (acoustic 12 string guitar, no band) than those by Taj and the Allmans, which I also love. If you've never heard the Blind Willie McTell version ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN1xa8h5msrbcYk.html )check it out or any of his early recordings from the 1920s and 1930s. Although he often played slide on many early recordings, he did not on Statesboro Blues; great finger picking nonetheless. Blind Willie McTell also re-emerged in the 1940s and 50s to make a few recordings but he was not nearly as amazing as he had been as a young man; hard living had taken its toll.

callmejeffbob Jeff Bob, thanks for all your knowledge. Really good to have good knowledge seen and shared rather than some of other things we have to read. Thanks again for sharing!

Frank E. Butler- I'm happy to share knowledge and/or enthusiasm for music when & where I can. I'm kind of a geek when it comes to music history, influences, and connections. One of the great things about KZfaq is that I can also provide a link too (since you're not in my living room where I can pull out a record or CD...LOL). Hope you liked the Blind Willie McTell; he was one of the greatest blues singers/guitarists from the 20s and 30s. The players from Georgia like Blind Willie McTell, Blind Blake, Barbecue Bob, etc. had a really different approach and sound than the Mississippi delta guys.

Duane, Trucks, Cooder

After Vietnam the Allman brother s music spoke to me...in fact still does....I still try to play like Duane but I stink

Kunio

Many thanks, John

Yeah!

Actually, this is a Blind Willie McTell tune. The Allman Brothers just did their version of Taj Mahal's version of this tune!

Well isaw spike TV do a segment on muscles shoals and the "Talent" sucked ass. Jason isbell and the Drive by Truckers sounded pretty damn good to me And im 57 heavy metal drummer from Detroit. (Also played in an all black gospel church-and im lily white) Yes they are from yesteryear but new bands BLOW from what ive seen. other than Jason and the DBTs.

Jasper Jenkins from 2011 - 2015 there was a HUGE underground wave of musicians ranging from folk, rock, rap, heavy metal, jazz, punk, and blues. It was unlike anything seriously. It was a very cool movement going on, unfortunately all the venues shut down and nobody made it out except for a select 2 who had the rocket boosters from a fashion designer here who sponsored their financial backing). It’s pretty much dead now but there was SO MUCH going on here. A town this small, and I could walk out of a solo gig with $200. Unheard of. Wish you could have seen it man. If there only could have been a spotlight here on this talent, I think there could have been something more. It was awesome. But sadly not many people saw it.

@@JRayBama cities often take their turns being showcased like in the 80s when they were signing all the hair bands and in the 90s when Seattle was getting all their grunge bands signed I'm a musician from Detroit and RC it over and over it feels great to be from a place that has a wide array of musical talents from Punk to Jazz to Blues to metal

Grow up.

Hey Jasper, come to Muscle Shoals and let’s see how long you last around here in the music business. The “suck ass talent” we have here in Muscle Shoals is better than any town you’ve ever been in. That’s a fact.

So do you, tiny.
