Gregg Allman died three years ago today. In honor of the Southern rock pioneer, take a look at 20 of his essential songs
Many had tackled Jackson Browne’s prematurely wise ballad, written when he was a teenager. But no one matched the downcast contemplation in Allman’s version from Laid Back, which also brings out a hint of country balladry to his sound.By 1975, the Allmans were on the verge of collapse and Gregg was increasingly alienated from his bandmates and dependent on drugs to get through it all. That lost-soul murk envelopes this version of Muddy Waters’ song from the Allmans’ Win, Lose or Draw album.
Although written by Tony Colton and Phil Palmer, the lyrics may as well have been written by Gregg himself, and the knowing tone in his voice puts the song over the top as much as its radio-friendly arrangement.After falling apart again in the 1980s, the Allmans re-formed in 1989 to commemorate their Dreams boxed set. The following year, they made one of their strongest later albums,, with Warren Haynes now occupying the Duane guitar slot alongside Betts.
