I believe the credit for this tune on the vinyl was to Blind Willie McTell. I have an old version of him playing HIS song back in the 30s or 40s. It's quite different than the Allman's cover of it.

Very nice. But instead of playing the A on the 5th fret of the E string, why don't you hit the A string open? That way it rings out better, and you can just palm mute it.
Sonnyboy wrote it, Marshall took partial credit, and Elmore made it famous.
Not much is known of Marshall's contribution, to any of the 40+ songs he supposedly, co-wrote. Most likely, he was the person who could "hear" or "feel the hit", the catalyst or visionary, if you will. I'm sure the idea of getting royalties didn't hurt either; A.K.A. Col. Ton Parker making sure Elvis had co-authorship of his early stuff.
On a side note, Marshall E. Seahorn was the man who "discovered", Wilburt Harrison whose song, "Kansas City" was one of the biggest hits of the era as well as, Lee Dorsey, "Ya Ya".
Very similar to "Moby Dick" off of Led Zeppelin II. You know, the song with the painfully long drum solo. The rhythm when the octaves is almost identical. The I IV V chord progression is the same.
Actually I'm looking at a Chess release if Sonny's Best, and it credits "One Way Out" to Sonny, Elmore James, and Marshall Seborn.

I think it was. It was one of those inexpensive Martins that are not real wood. Don't have this one anymore.

Thanks. By the way, folks, if you like this song, go to Yearst's site to get a note for note version of the knock out solo from the record.
