Gregg Allman: Lonely Day In L.A. (Complete KMET-FM Broadcast From 6th November 1974)

Gregg Allman Lonely Day In L.A. (Complete KMET-FM Broadcast From 6th November 1974) Smokin’ Badger There’s really no denying that Gregg Allman was the great voice of southern rock – he had a white boy blues thing that was never cloying, didn’t feel like anything more than it was: A natural talent singing his soul […]

R.I.P. Gregg Allman

Very sad news to wake up to…Gregg Allman has died. He was 69. In recent years he had not been well, Hepatitis C and a late-in-life liver transplant, cancelled gigs…he knew his time was coming. He was one of the great rock/blues vocalists – bringing a depth of soul to the southern boogie and jam-band […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 745

Boz Scaggs, Boz Scaggs (1969) I like Boz Scaggs. But to qualify/clarify it: I loved his most recent album, a real return to this dazzling, lovely early form and apart from that I really only like one or two things. The MOR stuff when he sold heaps…well there’s one or two okay-songs there but it’s […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 755

The Allman Brothers Band, At Fillmore East (1971) I chased the sound of this record for a while – a brief clip of Duane Allman doing his thing on a History of Rock’n’Roll-type doco had me keen to find that particular song. It took a while (pre-internet) as it only showed a vital few seconds […]

The Best Guitarist in The World: # 7 – Duane Allman

When I was about 14 – and at the peak of my guitar-loving “discovery” years, a devotee of Guitar Player magazine, as open to (and obsessed with) Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground as Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson – I remember watching a History of Rock doc which had a featurette around rock’n’roll guitar […]
