Acoustic blues instrumental Duane and Dicky (1971)

The Allman Brothers Band - 1971-04-01 - The Gatlinburg Tapes
(Studio mp3@320)

Home jam recorded at Duane’s home in April 1971;
studio sessions recorded at Gatlinburg Studios, TN, April 1, 1971.
(Some state this as early 1971 rehearsals.) Very good audio.

If you had walked by and this recording is on, you might
have thought that you were listening to Robert Johnson!
Those (Mississippi?) blues, the steel (slide) guitar
and that raw sound. When he was alive, Duane Allman was
seen as a guitarist extraordinaire. But he also worked
at his craft. While this recording has been around for
some time, it still offers a rare glimpse of the guitarist
at work - here Duane is in a relaxed mood in probably a
practice or jam session, with Dickey Betts present.

Meanwhile, zubbid, in a note at pinkrobert.net, said:
“Listen for the covers of Tim Buckley’s Once I Was and
Morning Glory” on Tracks 4 and 5. It’s not so much a
full-blown cover, rather snatches here and there and
it does show what Duane picked up musically.

Dickey Betts wrote Blue Sky for his then Native American
girlfriend, Sandy “Bluesky” Wabegijig (they married in
1973 and divorced two years later) and many fans feel
that this is among one of the best Allman Brothers songs.
