This is a top five road trip driving tune. Sunny, breezy day. Windows open. What more does a living, breathing human being need? Oh and you need to do One Way Out. Totally!
Hard to believe such great long lasting " intricate" sounding music came from a pack of down home boys that were between 17-27 years old when they put out their best work.
Sounds crazy, I know, but it is almost like there is something in the air down there, or the water - because the South has turned out so many gifted musicians.... white, black, whatever - they can all play just as pretty as you like.
@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Im not from as far down we all came from Kentucky or Tennessee, all the men, and several wonen play some sort of instrument, most pro or semi pro.. i play pretty much any instrument there is, cant sing a lick, my uncles all played with Roy Clark, String Bean, all the Hee Haw or Grand Ole Opry fellas. I knos what you mean, there were better musicians on our porch most days than i see famous these days.
@Blue collar Silver dollar absolutely.. myself i just couldnt stand to be outdone when i was a kid.. i could play Saturday Night special..Statesboro blues or foggy mountain breakdown by middle school lol
@Blue collar Silver dollar - In many places, but especially the deep south, church was a great way to learn how to play and sing music, because almost every church had live music in those days before widespread recordings and sound-systems. Lots of local and regional gigs, too - very important to up-and-coming players learning their craft. The live-music circuit was good-enough in those days that one could make a decent living at music, provided one had a halfway decent act. All of that is gone now, most of it anyway. Well, at least there's still churchin' up!
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 - Yeah, way to go! Being a southern man myself, I know about such families. It's like there's music in the air or the water or something, because everyone plays and there's always someone or something going on. A lot of small towns, not just in the south, but certainly there as well - there isn't a lot to do except eat, work and sleep, maybe go to church and the local tavern. So guys take up an instrument or three to pass the time. And being great at music, being a success at it, was also seen as a ticket out of town and to bigger and better things; "a way out and a way up."
Jamal, you are a ray of sunshine to me. I have so much going on but when I see your face at most of these videos. But I watch at least 30 minutes every day. You are a friend to me.
Those guys where awesome and different. The original band could play their asses off. My second concert 1975(?). Elvin Bishop,Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Marshall Tucker was smoking.
@@grendalnewgod Northern Michigan for me man, I live at the very end of it up north. As in I can drive to where it ends in 10 minutes, and that's what I love about it. People so far away but growing up on the same highway. It's like that part in the Outsiders with ponyboy watching the sunrise.
Allman Brothers are usually Southern Rock & Blues - but Ramblin Man, Blue Sky, Jessica, One Way Out - they're so optimistic and catchy - all great road trip driving songs!
Maaaaaan, the harmony between the Guitars, the soul of the chorus, the harmonizing between the set! You can actually visualize him singing or telling his story to a lady who is probably trying to secure him but he’s like naaaaaw let me tell you my history my father was a gambler down in Georgia... I mean it’s more then a song, it’s an adventure!! The Guitar riffs!!!!! I can’t say enough about this song!!!!!!
Flew out to Denver with a friend of mine just to see them in concert about a decade or so ago and ended up staying the weekend. We had a blast and got tats and visited an art museum and everything. Great city. The concert was the icing on the cake. Good times.
@@danushaforknneer2749 Yeah. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Went to Virginia Beach to see Jethro Tull for a weekend, went to Michigan to see Hot Tuna (basically most of Jefferson Airplane), Columbus Ohio to see Alice Cooper, Louisville Kentucky to see Seether, Bel Terra Casino to see Alice Cooper, River Downs in Ohio to see Tom Petty, and more. We even got to help carry Hot Tuna's instruments into the venue. And that's not mentioning some opening acts like Cheap Trick and .38 Special, just to name a few. I've had some good times😃
The Brothers were the originaters 0f southern rock with 30 or 40 unbelievably fantastic songs. They played the warehouse in New Orleans many times in the early 70"s.
HeyJamel : Ramblin' Man came from the local A.M. Country Music Station when I was a kid. You must do Henry Paul Band's Tribute to Skynyrd- "Grey Ghost" & a few Outlaws songs as well
Dicky Betts doesn't get the props he deserves!! Duane Allman was more creative and soulful (and my fav of all time) but Betts is actually probably the better player, as far as technical proficiency and overall ability... If you get what I mean lol! Unfortunately, after Duane's death, it became obvious that the true magic came from the band as a whole! Duane Allman was the glue that kept the whole thing together and, while obv still writing some incredible stuff, the band could never TRULY reach those levels without him! I kinda apply what Method Man says in a skit on Wu-Tang's 36 Chamber to the situation... The Allman Brother's Band forms like Voltron and Duane was the head...
@@phatnana2379 I generally agree however, I wouldn’t discount what Derek Trucks did for the band in the 2000’s. He and Warren really brought back the energy and vibe to the live shows for another 10+ years.
@Lee Cox - My grandparents lived in WR & my grandmother had a bookstore in Miller Hills shopping center after she closed her kindergarten (The Briarpatch). Lots of great childhood memories!
And right past the town i have delivered mail in the 20 years that has one traffic light west of Gainesville Florida ,Archer. So much history in the words of their music. Ty my brother.
It makes me so happy to watch you discover what I've known for decades! Dramasyde and yourself are my favorites...cuz you both really dig some blues...real blues! Love you Brother, be good...peace
This song was the biggest selling single over everyone in 1973 and that means any other artists -it was on Tv ,in movie’s NFL bumper music ,such as Monday night football ❤️👍🏼
Love watching you dance, it puts a smile in my face. Young kids dont go to dances anymore, they just stand around. You're delightful to groove to my favorite all time band. Try "JESSICA," GFEAT JAMMING ✌️always
The Allman Bros were very heavily inflected through their blues and jazz influences, like most "Southern Rock" bands of the 70s. This is a good old fashioned country-style stomp, which makes it a fun track from them! So much more to discover with this band, keep digging!
Some people forget you can hear " Ramblin Man " played in back around in the bar scene as the two priests were talking in film " The Exorcist ". You may have hear it. Great song, Outstanding sound and words, just rock.
This one was written and sung by Dickey Betts. Duane had already died and Berry died during recording the album. Instead of replacing Duane, they added Chuck Lavelle on piano.
when a song can make you move like this one does,or songs that make you feel things. these groups are doing something right.love how they got the little jam session going when they stop singing for a bit.love your reaction,they are true,and love to see you get into it
Cameron Crowe, who was a very young writer for Rolling Stone at the time, toured with the Allman Bros. He eventually made/directed the semi-autobiographical film "Almost Famous" which actually was about his travels with the Allmans. If you haven't seen it, DO! It's all about our deep deep love for rock and roll! (And at the time he was married to Nancy Wilson of Heart!)
I think the reason you find it so familiar is that its classic Nashville rhythms. Dicky Betts, the composer and rhythm guitarist, didn't think it would be and Allman Brothers Band song. He had imagined he would sell it to someone like Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings. It's that classic, clip-clop, horsey sound in the rhythm. There are elements in its foundation that sound like a 100 other songs over the decades from The South/Nashville
I have the best memories of this song ❤️our family and 4 others would go in on a pig roast every summer,when I was a kid.remember my dad dancing and playing air drums to this song! Wonderful time filled with laughter,great music and dancing❤️
Jamel here is where you may have heard this song in a movie : " Ramblin' Man " can be heard in the 1973 film The Exorcist, playing on a jukebox in a bar where two priests are conversing over beers at a table. In the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally..., it can be heard playing in the background in a diner scene. It can also be heard in Season 1, Episode 1 of the TV series Supernatural. In an error, it can also be heard in Supernatural Season 4, Episode 3 entitled " In the Beginning ". Dean gets transported back in time and wakes up on a park bench. He stumbles into a diner where " Ramblin' Man " is playing on the jukebox and you can see the date on the newspaper that reads April 30 , 1973 , three whole months before the song was released. Scott Porter ( George ) covers the song in Hart of Dixie Season 02 Episode 02. The song is playable in the music video games Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2.
Where is it from?! From 1973 Brothers and Sisters Album! I'm sure plenty of movies, tv shows and commercials use so many Classic Rock Songs but we had them first! The OG 70s teen years! We were so lucky to have been born when we were. Music will never be the same or live up to that time.
This was recorded a couple of years after guitarist, Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident. This is fellow guitarist, Richard "Dickey" Betts doing the vocals. After Duane's death, the band toured with one guitar player and added keyboard player, Chuck Leavell. The second guitar player on this record is Les Dudek. Oddly enough, bassist, Berry Oakley would also die in a motorcycle accident one year after Duane.
I don't recall this song ever being in any big movie or commercials. If it was, it had to a very brief insert. I think it's just such an iconic song and was played on every radio station for years when it came out and now is still played in heavy rotation on classic radio stations. It's not as recognizable as say Freebird, but it's up there.
For me personally, I'm not quite as much of a fan of "Can't Buy a Thrill", preferring their later albums, such as "The Royal Scam", "Aja", and surprisingly "Gaucho". "The Nightfly" is also good, despite technically not being Steely Dan.
Gregg Allman had the bluesy voice. This is guitarist Dickie Betts singing who was kind of the country side of the Allman Bros. Great guitarist too. One time guitar great Duane Allman said, "I'm the famous guitarist in the band, Dickie is the great one." Very high praise from Duane.
It is one of those classics that has been played everywhere. Another great ABB song also written by Dickey Betts (his songs are generally a little more country) is Seven Turns. Keep rocking and stay safe.
@@swampgator1957 Leroux! 8th grade school dance. lol. Im from Louisiana and they were a huge deal back then. Pretty song and great memories. I saw BTO in Jimmys club in Nola in the 80's.
Ĺĺised listening to this album, part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Growing up a Southerner & fellow Floridian, ( they-Daytona Beach, me-St. Petersburg), band has special place in my heart, all their music means so much to me & invokes such happy childhood memories, maybe cause it was one of few bands both my parents liked. My mother often complained about how loud my dad, then later, both myself & my little brother's stereo systems were. This is a song tailor-made for Sunday morning listeners who don't do the church lockstep. Ññlolimpøñĺ As per usual, watching your honest & thoughtfull reactions is like hearing it for first time. Please keep doing these videos, it's such positive & fun content.
Good old Highway 41! (Lyrics, "I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus rollin' down highway forty-one.") Highway 41 is a major highway. I was born and raised in Northwest GA and the Chattanooga TN area. Highway 41 was within 5 miles of every place I lived. In 2015 I moved to Tampa FL, 600 miles south, and that same Highway 41 is only two streets away from me right now. Whenever I hear this song, it sounds like home to me, whether I am in Tennessee, Georgia, or Florida.
Ramblin Man is the first Allman Brothers song I ever heard and that is the reason why it will always be my favorite. I was fortunate enough to get to see them one time in concert but unfortunately it was after Duane's passing so they could not play the song. They rocked the rest of it though!
A great song written by Dicky Betts, the other half of the dual guitar harmony sound that WAS the Allman Brothers sound with Duane Allman. THE originators of southern rock in the opinion of many. It's got a Cajun drumbeat. Hard to do. They also had two drummers. A very influential band with some tragic history. I was in junior high school when this came out. All the players in my high school knew this or some other Allman Brothers.
Something worth knowing; genius producer/engineer Tom Dowd (Check out, "A Life in Music." Guarantee you'll love it.) always recorded the Allman Bros. Band live in the studio and then added overdubs. Les Dudek was tapped to cover for recently-deceased Duane Allman and he takes that first sweet-as-apple-pie guitar break. Dickie Betts (who wrote, sang and took the outro) was knocked out by that amazingly sweet phrasing and let's out with, "Aalll riight!" And btw, Tom Dowd remastered the original "Live at Fillmore East" and then released an extended remix/remaster of the same three shows. Way worth checking out....
I just know that when it snows, I have an infinite need to listen to The Allman Brothers. Mellisa, especially! They're an awesome band. More please, your smile grows on me more n more. 😍
Who exactly underrates him? Hes internationally recognized as an amazing guitarist, is credited and compensated for writing over 100 songs, and is known as one of the leaders of the Allman Brothers Band. And why are you using past tense - he is alive so wouldn't your argument be that he IS so underrated not was?
Dude, the Allman Brothers Band virtually invented southern rock, while using blues, country, roots rock and even jazz influences. This particular number is country-flavored, obviously, probably written by Dickie Betts. The band hail from Florida and Georgia for the most part. Duane Allman had died by the time of this recording, so the slide guitar was played by another gifted guitarist, Les Dudek, helping out Dickie and the band.
Guitar player Dickey Betts wrote this song and the band didn't want to do it because they thought it sounded too "country", but it became one of their biggest hits. Kind of strange Betts wrote it because it talks about his father being a gambler that ended up on the wrong end of a gun, Duane and Greg Allman's dad, a small time gambler, was shot and killed by a guy he gave a ride to and tried to rob him. Some more Allman bros songs, Soulshine, One way out, Ain't waisting time no more. You'll like them all. And just so you'll know, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts are two of the greatest guitar players ever.
I always loved this song from the moment I heard it way back on radio. This is certainly the Allman Brothers best song. It's a classic. They were a great band in their day. Your reaction is really cool and fun to watch as you are grooving to the music and enjoying the great guitar sounds.
It's been on the radio since 1973 and you are asking where is it from haha From Wikipedia: "Ramblin' Man" can be heard in the 1973 film The Exorcist, playing on a jukebox in a bar where two priests are conversing over beers at a table. - In the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally..., it can be heard playing in the background in a diner scene. - It can also be heard in Season 1, Episode 1 of the TV series Supernatural.

Hey, man! Love you and love your videos! I believe sharing music is the best way we learn about each other and learn to love each other. You give me hope. Keep on going and keep the love flowing...!
Ramblin' Man & Freebird have the same sort of messages. This was used in several commercials in the 1990s. You'll find a lot of classic rock music being used in TV commercials.
Now that you've covered Allmans, Lynrd S, CCR, Next up ZZ Top! That lil ol band from Texas!! Songs "La Grange" "Cheap Sunglasses". Serious Texas Boogie, R&R. Anyone agree?! Absolutely essential!!
Off topic, but I have to mention this: your face lights up the room! When I'm having a bad day, I just need to watch one of your vids.

The song is playable in the music video games Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2.
Awesome
Where is it from?! From 1973 Brothers and Sisters Album! I'm sure plenty of movies, tv shows and commercials use so many Classic Rock Songs but we had them first! The OG 70s teen years! We were so lucky to have been born when we were. Music will never be the same or live up to that time.
Bob Seger " Travelin' Man" Live version🔥
I rode a dirt bike one summer in Kansas when I was 15 singing this song the whole time haha 😂 oh the memories !
I would also like to suggest Dire Straits "Sultans of swing" It's got some fantastic riffs.
From the lp "Brothers and Sisters". Dickey Betts is singing lead & playing one of the lead guitars (Gregg Allman usually handles the lead vocals).
You need to listen to “Melissa” by the Allman Brothers
This was recorded a couple of years after guitarist, Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident. This is fellow guitarist, Richard "Dickey" Betts doing the vocals. After Duane's death, the band toured with one guitar player and added keyboard player, Chuck Leavell. The second guitar player on this record is Les Dudek. Oddly enough, bassist, Berry Oakley would also die in a motorcycle accident one year after Duane.
Great talent.Guitar army,two drummers,keyboards,etc.
I don't recall this song ever being in any big movie or commercials. If it was, it had to a very brief insert. I think it's just such an iconic song and was played on every radio station for years when it came out and now is still played in heavy rotation on classic radio stations. It's not as recognizable as say Freebird, but it's up there.
Steely Dan - Do It Again, that is a groovy one that you’ll definitely enjoy.
What Steely Dan do you recommend?
The entire catalog.
For me personally, I'm not quite as much of a fan of "Can't Buy a Thrill", preferring their later albums, such as "The Royal Scam", "Aja", and surprisingly "Gaucho". "The Nightfly" is also good, despite technically not being Steely Dan.
Gregg Allman had the bluesy voice. This is guitarist Dickie Betts singing who was kind of the country side of the Allman Bros. Great guitarist too. One time guitar great Duane Allman said, "I'm the famous guitarist in the band, Dickie is the great one." Very high praise from Duane.
Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. Most underrated brilliance out there.
Love you channel
Infjjedi333 yes!!!
Everybody since them has used their guitar riffs for 50 years...even rap groups...that's how good it was
Try Supertramp "the logical song".
Jamel_AKA_Jamal dude there's a ton of Supertramp I think you would dig. Logical Song, Breakfast in America, Goodbye Stranger.
@@jasonbartlett7610 yes! Those are all great songs! I would suggest watching a version w/lyrics.
Love your reactions!
'Downstream" from Even in the Quietest Moments"
He got to it. You may have seen it already.
It is one of those classics that has been played everywhere.
Another great ABB song also written by Dickey Betts (his songs are generally a little more country) is Seven Turns.
Keep rocking and stay safe.
.......they always havin' a good time down on the bayou....lord... ........them Delta Women think the world of me.....
This man love good music. Wish he was my friend. Because, he is A Great Man. His soul and heart is light and open for lots of love.
Allman Brother's "One way out" please & thank you!!
It’s been used for many advertisements, movies, etc. The singer songwriter of this song is Dickie Betts the lead guitarist.
Would love to see your reaction to Black Oak Arkansas' "Jim Dandy," and "New Orleans Ladies" by Louisana's Leroux.
Who dates, seen boa and leroux many many times n NOLA , had great times n The Warehouse , Warehouse West
I haven't thought about these bands in decades. Thanks for reminding me, gonna go listen to them when this song ends.
@@swampgator1957 Leroux! 8th grade school dance. lol. Im from Louisiana and they were a huge deal back then. Pretty song and great memories. I saw BTO in Jimmys club in Nola in the 80's.
I'm from NOLA now reside in sc
@@swampgator1957 I grew up an hour from Nola and I live in SC also. lol
Ĺĺised listening to this album, part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Growing up a Southerner & fellow Floridian, ( they-Daytona Beach, me-St. Petersburg), band has special place in my heart, all their music means so much to me & invokes such happy childhood memories, maybe cause it was one of few bands both my parents liked. My mother often complained about how loud my dad, then later, both myself & my little brother's stereo systems were.
This is a song tailor-made for Sunday morning listeners who don't do the church lockstep. Ññlolimpøñĺ
As per usual, watching your honest & thoughtfull reactions is like hearing it for first time. Please keep doing these videos, it's such positive & fun content.
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Born on the Bayou You won't believe it.
Up around the Bend, Song for everyone, Lodi, Commotion, Etc.
Never heard the mowing outside. This is such an Iconic band and song.
Good old Highway 41! (Lyrics, "I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus rollin' down highway forty-one.") Highway 41 is a major highway. I was born and raised in Northwest GA and the Chattanooga TN area. Highway 41 was within 5 miles of every place I lived. In 2015 I moved to Tampa FL, 600 miles south, and that same Highway 41 is only two streets away from me right now. Whenever I hear this song, it sounds like home to me, whether I am in Tennessee, Georgia, or Florida.
Dickie Betts singing. Another great car cruising singin with ur friends song. Much more so that Bohemian Rhapsody ever in my day.
Thank you....I didn't know who was singing this song. I didn't recognize the voice.
try "Jessica". One of the best instrumentals ever!
This song has been used in LOTS of movies, commercials, TV shows, etc so that's probably where you've heard it Jamel
Ramblin Man is the first Allman Brothers song I ever heard and that is the reason why it will always be my favorite.
I was fortunate enough to get to see them one time in concert but unfortunately it was after Duane's passing so they could not play the song. They rocked the rest of it though!
It's in a bunch of movies. I remember it from "Dazed and Confused" and from Tim Burton's "Big Fish."
I don't think Ramblin Man was in Dazed and Confused......
This song is 100% not in Dazed And Confused. Good try though.
Love your reactions to this great music I grew up on!!! Keep it real!!! Thank you!
A great song written by Dicky Betts, the other half of the dual guitar harmony sound that WAS the Allman Brothers sound with Duane Allman. THE originators of southern rock in the opinion of many. It's got a Cajun drumbeat. Hard to do. They also had two drummers. A very influential band with some tragic history. I was in junior high school when this came out. All the players in my high school knew this or some other Allman Brothers.
Something worth knowing; genius producer/engineer Tom Dowd (Check out, "A Life in Music." Guarantee you'll love it.) always recorded the Allman Bros. Band live in the studio and then added overdubs. Les Dudek was tapped to cover for recently-deceased Duane Allman and he takes that first sweet-as-apple-pie guitar break. Dickie Betts (who wrote, sang and took the outro) was knocked out by that amazingly sweet phrasing and let's out with, "Aalll riight!"
And btw, Tom Dowd remastered the original "Live at Fillmore East" and then released an extended remix/remaster of the same three shows. Way worth checking out....
I just know that when it snows, I have an infinite need to listen to The Allman Brothers. Mellisa, especially! They're an awesome band. More please, your smile grows on me more n more. 😍
Blue Sky is my favorite. Dickey Betts was so underrated omg
Who exactly underrates him? Hes internationally recognized as an amazing guitarist, is credited and compensated for writing over 100 songs, and is known as one of the leaders of the Allman Brothers Band. And why are you using past tense - he is alive so wouldn't your argument be that he IS so underrated not was?
Dude, the Allman Brothers Band virtually invented southern rock, while using blues, country, roots rock and even jazz influences. This particular number is country-flavored, obviously, probably written by Dickie Betts. The band hail from Florida and Georgia for the most part. Duane Allman had died by the time of this recording, so the slide guitar was played by another gifted guitarist, Les Dudek, helping out Dickie and the band.
Guitar player Dickey Betts wrote this song and the band didn't want to do it because they thought it sounded too "country", but it became one of their biggest hits. Kind of strange Betts wrote it because it talks about his father being a gambler that ended up on the wrong end of a gun, Duane and Greg Allman's dad, a small time gambler, was shot and killed by a guy he gave a ride to and tried to rob him. Some more Allman bros songs, Soulshine, One way out, Ain't waisting time no more. You'll like them all. And just so you'll know, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts are two of the greatest guitar players ever.
WE NEED A BLUE SKY REACTION🔥🔥
Blue Sky is my all time favorite song!
I always loved this song from the moment I heard it way back on radio. This is certainly the Allman Brothers best song. It's a classic. They were a great band in their day. Your reaction is really cool and fun to watch as you are grooving to the music and enjoying the great guitar sounds.
Back in 1974 True Classic And Allman Brothers Band Greatest In The World
It's been on the radio since 1973 and you are asking where is it from haha
From Wikipedia: "Ramblin' Man" can be heard in the 1973 film The Exorcist, playing on a jukebox in a bar where two priests are conversing over beers at a table.
- In the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally..., it can be heard playing in the background in a diner scene.
- It can also be heard in Season 1, Episode 1 of the TV series Supernatural. In an error, it can also be heard in Supernatural Season 4, Episode 3 entitled "In the Beginning". Dean gets transported back in time and wakes up on a park bench. He stumbles into a diner where "Ramblin' Man" is playing on the jukebox and you can see the date on the newspaper that reads April 30, 1973, three whole months before the song was released.
- Scott Porter (George) covers the song in Hart of Dixie Season 02 Episode 02.
- The song is playable in the music video games Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2.
Need some "Doobie brothers" on here.

This song brings back memories of driving with an old friend
Allman Brothers One way out and Statesboro blues,some sick slide guitar
Lol I love this song I walked by my dad singing this song. He said good job Allman. I replied "nope good job Dickie Betts" and I'm only 29
Song was used for "Ram" trucks commercials.
Hey, man! Love you and love your videos! I believe sharing music is the best way we learn about each other and learn to love each other. You give me hope. Keep on going and keep the love flowing...!
Allman Brothers....Southbound best song ever!!!!!!
Ah this brings back memories of my dad singing and playing this song back when I was 5 or 6 in the mid 70s. good stuff
Allan Brothers- Blue Sky...always makes my day !
Ramblin' Man & Freebird have the same sort of messages. This was used in several commercials in the 1990s. You'll find a lot of classic rock music being used in TV commercials.
Now that you've covered Allmans, Lynrd S, CCR, Next up
ZZ Top! That lil ol band from Texas!!
Songs "La Grange" "Cheap Sunglasses". Serious Texas Boogie, R&R. Anyone agree?!
Absolutely essential!!
Dickie Betts sang and played the guitar solo in this. Great band to see Live.
If it feels good, get a little wiggle in them bones then it must be right! Music.
OMG yeaaassss Allman Bros is my JAM dude! Thank you for this!
