A blues classic done to perfection. Written and recorded by St Louis Jimmy Oden in 1941 and made famous by Howlin Wolf 20 years later. Absolutely sublime.
Thanks for the history. I did not know this. Great to see the evolution. I did the same thing with Sleepy John Estes - Someday Baby, Muddy Waters - Trouble No More, and The Allman Brothers - Trouble No More.
One of the few songs he ever sang on. He didn't think his voice was good, but I must say he was perfect on this one. My favorite because of that, it was all him.
I listen to this song everyday. Pisses me off when people say Duane couldn't sing. I love his voice as much as his slide guitar playing. One fabulous piece of art and history. He will be forever my favorite.
Duane sounds decent enough here I've never heard his voice before I didn't imagine the way Duane looked he'd have a soft voice like this I'd have expected him to have a raw manly voice
If you really wanted to hear somebody who can't sing, you could listen to me. Duane sings just fine. Anybody who disagrees, I'll send you a box of Q-Tips.
This is THE specific song that changed my musical tastes forever...a college classmate living across the hall came into my room and said, "you need to listen to this badass blues guitar". My life has never been the same since.
For me, it was "Red House" by Hendrix, but Duane was on a totally different level than Hendrix. If Duane didn't die at 24, I don't think any guitar player would be mentioned in the same sentence as him.
I am 52 and for some reason I never go into The Allman Brothers. I grew up during the hair band days of Motley Cruel, Sabbath of course, Van Halen, etc. I never dug the Southern Rock or Blues but then I grew up. Lately within the last 8 months or so I can't get enough of this band and Derek Trucks who is a guitar god in my opinion as is Duane. This tune I am listening to now is physically making me feel like music should. I think I actually stopped breathing for a few minutes as Duane started getting into it. I also like taking my guitar and coresidan bottle and play along. This particular song is so fun to play with a slide in open E. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My ass you can't. I have learned how to play a lot of these licks and for me the Allman Brothers are like a new band to me since I never listened to them in the 80's or 90's when I was in highschool and college. This band moves me. The triumphs and horrible tragedies this band has faced but still moved on. The Allman Brothers Band are truly one of the greatest bands that Rock n Roll, blues, jazz, and country have ever heard. I can't get enough of them.
going down . .. best blues song ever . . . .somebody dying, knowing it, trying to rally himself, trying to redeem himself, knows he is going down.. duane picked up on this like no one else could. playing it up and down .singing world weary .absolutely great guitar work. have listened to it here over 100 times The best.
So very gratifying to read all this love for Duane here after so many years of wondering if nobody else ever got how extraordinary he was. That instrument WAS him. Seamless, right from the heart.
My older brother Paul, RIP used to put this on the record player to listen to when going to bed, sometimes it was my turn to get up and turn the record over. I will never get tired of the Allman bros.
Duane & the Bros. have been soothing my Long Island, NY soul since I was a little kid & my dad was playing em on the house stereo system. I learned my bass style from listening to Berry. A goal of mine is to pass that on to my son too.
I found a great copy of it a few years ago and it's my favorite album by far now. Blows my mind how much he did by the age of 24 and definitely sounds way more of a matured guitar player
I bought Anthology on a whim when I was 14. I saw it in a bargain bin at a record store in Durban, South Africa, and just liked the cover. When I heard it on getting home I was staggered. Especially this tune and Loan Me a Dime. A whole new musical world opened up. 40 years later I still love that record so much.
Crisp, inventive, explosive, delicate, breathtaking. Looks and sounds like he's in a trance when he's full tilt. The material we have from Duane is in my mind the best guitar played anywhere at any time. What i wouldn't give to hear what else he had up his sleeve. Rest in peace skydog. A once-in-100 year talent lost at 24.
By far the best all around guitarist, his studio work with Ricky Hall at Mussel Shoals with the Swampers,Tom Dowd at Criteria in Miami for Derek and the Dominos and of course Atlantic records with Dowd and Amett Ertrigon will forever be the finest tracks ever laid down....EVER!
perfectly said. wish i had read this 3 years ago. you knew the proper men. i used to work with tom dowds son. man i used to try and squeeze info outta him without being a pain. i h ve listened to them all and i am convinced that duane was here for a reason . does not get any better than duane allman. poor berry, i know how he felt, only i made it through 35 years of sadness
R.I.P. TO A BROTHER, I VISIT HIS GRAVESITE EVERY YEAR, AND UNFORTUNATLY I VISIT GREGG'S GRAVESITE ALSO, NOW, THIS IS THE BEST BAND TO EVER TO PLAY THE MUSIC THAT HAD A HUGE EFFECT ON ME, R.I.P. TO ALL, COUSIN FIGEL
Just hard to believe how young he was as he poured out the deepest, ageless blues and stunning, melodic leads over essentially gothic Southern waltzes. On this track his singing reminds me of a young Fenton Robinson. Duane has been the pinnacle of guitarists to me since first hearing Eat a Peach and Derek and the Dominos in '73.
This guy is in a league all his own. Just think how much this young man accomplshed; We still marvel today over his guitar slide, guitar tone and guitar rips. He was only in his "early twenties" when they took him from us. God bless....
You mean "Skydog" , don't you? I just love his name "Skydog", don"t you? Man oh Man. There is nothing like this ever , whether you call it a "rake" or a "drip".
Capricorn records was built around Duane, for Duane. Anyone not digging this ,well I don't through pearls before swine.Long live Duane Allman,and rythem and blues.
The pure master of slide and lead guitar. Going down slow is masterful. His powerful playing will never be equaled by anyone, The Skyman had a guitar as an extention of his arm and he used it well. Long live the slide Blues guitar, Miss ya much Duane.
He's not playing slide on this...every song he plays the comments say the same thing. Great slide player but straight up he s better. I dont mean to be an ass but sheesh
Those genius licks first brought tears, then grabbed my heart,twisted it and finally caressed my heart to beat once again! To me, calling Mr. Duane genius is an understatement! Thank you for blessing us!
No one ever mentions the vocals. I loved them - but that guitar - man this was Duane's finest. Duane and Peter Greene - that's all your ears and head need,.2 guys who listened to the masters, absorbed and chucked out something better. Oh shit. Duane's killer performance.
nope. it's not. it is boz scaggs. duane is only playing guitar. duane rarely sang on anything. he only sang a couple of songs, early in his career. go look at the album....and check the performers on the cut. you'll see it's boz scaggs on vocals.
One of Duane's very best. He pulls so many tricks out of his bag of licks on this one. Other than his obvious vituosity on the guitar, sometimes underappreciated is the tastiness of it all. Never overplays, seems to always add the perfect phrase at the perfect moment. Check the tiny lick at 7:06 ...the water drip lick. Sounds just like a slow drip of water finally releasing itself into a drop. Gorgeous and difficult to do with that kind of amazing clarity.
His use of dynamics and phrasing was genius. Second to NONE. He knew how to set up a note in the perfect moment during a song, and with what intensity to play said note. Truly one of the greatest of all time. In my personal Top 3.
Nothing like listening to Duane. Shear entertainment from the master. One day I listened to all blues artists in iTunes and his music was what stood way out.
Love to you and all the people you love...thanks for going and representing. Everytime one of us goes to visit them, you represent for all of we loyal and loving fans and friends. Again, I hope you had a good time, and thank you....
Awesome I am going to see the trio this fall. Eat at H&H, see the big house and Capricorn and 2 crash sites. I have loved them since a young child with uncles listening to all their albums constantly. Remember Fillmore being played back to back over and over till Grandma went nuts and yelled at them. Still can not believe he was only 24, what extreme talent and soul for the time.
Lucky! I'm gonna take my dad there one day. ABB is his favorite band ever. So much so that he named me after Duane. TBH, I want to go see The Big House probably as much as my dad does lol
@@becsailor1822 for me, that's part of what makes him the best guitar player that ever lived. He was that good & that accomplished at only 24 years old. Only played for about 10 years from what I understand. Imagine how good he'd have gotten had he lived past 24 yrs old. There would be no discussion about whether or not he's the best. It'd be a fact that could not be denied by anyone.
Not to forget that the band is just playing the bestest damn back-up that ever was. They just have such feel, such a sweet touch on their instruments. Nothin' flashy, just full of soul. Soul.
I do like me some Duane. I had tickets to see the original Allman Brothers Band in 1971 in Kentucky and Duane had his accident and of course died. They postponed and came back so I saw the lineup with just the five of them. Berry Oakley died not long after the gig I saw. Next saw 'em 1975 in South Carolina and Dickey Betts was still the sole guitar man and he took that entire concert, put it on his back, and carried it to high Heaven. It was impressive, he really rose to the occasion. I would have sold my soul to have seen him and Duane onstage together and sold my soul twice to get a good seat to view it even mo' better.
There's something about a good blues performance that hits you deep. Great that you mentioned Howlin Wolf. One of my favorite of his tracks was Red Rooster False Start & Dialogue off the London Sessions. Telling Clapton and Charlie Watts and the boys how it's done saying stuff like, "Ok let's everybody get together now & we'll try to make it" and "always stop at the top, see?" Great stuff. Duane Allman RIP.
The tone Duane gets from his '59 cherry burst LP and cherry SG is just one of many reasons old rich men are willing to spend upwards of 200k for clean original instruments of that vintage. That is insane.
I am a hardcore blues fan and this track is AWESOME! I can't imagine anyone NOT feeling this! But it goes Different strokes for different folks! I felt it from head to toe! Did I say it was good? LOL
This was a great album to get stoned to, add little wine, some good herb and this albums blues songs would rip my head off my shoulders!! Sometimes a little T.H.C. really set me off for hours. This is such a great blues album!!! The guitar rips up my head!!!
I know Duane wasn't much for his own voice,but I like it's quiet, wistful quality. Killer guitar tone here, too. Sorry he never cut a bunch of solo records.
That would not be me . I live in Daytona, heard the two practice some while they were here & play once when I sat outside a nightclub. After that about 4 concerts, could not travel much , still in high school , saw them when I could. Miss those days. 68 now, still listening, thank God for internet, Live long& rock on!!!
I take umbrage with that! I am 67 and went to many, many concerts of the Allmans, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BB King, and many that most younger than I could not have seen. Blues is it, but All Southern Rock was good!
He's not playing slide here, though. He just uses a real trebly tone which sometimes fools people. You can hear him bend notes (ie vibrato) and clear fingering in later solos.
Duane, excuse me, (Sir Duane) has been my pick as the all time greatest,24 year old, on a six string ever. We will never, ever, have anyone come along, that can touch him, ever. I'm WAY BLESSED!! to be a chronic, adamant, Allman Brothers follower, with JJ Cale bringing up the rear, and I must mention Dicky Betts, (Duane said it himself, Dicky was as good as he was.) I will also throw in Henry Vestine and the awsome guitar players from Canned Heat. I will also add, I'm from Memphis, Tn., I also thank Sam Phillips and Sun Records, without Sam, rock and roll would not be what it is.
Duane Allman and all of the Allman brothers band is the ipitome of Southern Blue's and Southern White Boy rock, none better!!!! The very best guitarist, the very best keyboard's and drummers.❤
Top of my list of shit I'm going to do if/when Time Travel is invented (in my lifetime) is to see The Allman Brothers with the Skydog. Mad respect, sir! R.I.P.
"The God-Realized Preacher".... I thank God Almighty that I was so Blessed to have seen Duane and Greg twice with The Boys Live as a Young Lad! Duane sings "So Soulfully ".....His Guitar like Hendrix,Prince, Clapton,Winter, Page,Zappa and Bloomfield just makes me feel so alive.....Amen....AUM... Thank GOD for Music and Musicians! Rest in Peace.... Duane,Berry & Greg... Happy Birthday "PRINCE" !!! Missing You Cats!
Aint no color in this music that i hear. This man had his natural soul in his music. I really like this and it could hang with anyones version black white brown red yellow. Gets to be kind of stupld sounding. Damn he sounds good
neither did I. I have always been a fan of ABB but lately im obsessed with them especially Duane id never heard him sing or heard this song & it is amazing best guitarist hands down
There's very few songs that just pull tears from me n this is one of em. Such a amazing talent lost so young. Enjoy what you have while you have it. Peace n love!
Bob, I've come across you a couple times and all I can say is...You know your shit! Your info/insight fills in holes,restores memory,completes a picture.When Duane died I was a dumb ass college student in upstate NY.I'm still a dumb ass but I will forever remember that day I was told he passed....i was hitch-hiking to my girlfriends school and the guy who gave me a ride also gave me the news.I'm 61yrs old,quick of mind and spirit...but I will never forget that day. Take care, Jack
You really don’t listen to Duane, you feel him. Nobody could bend a note and tickle your soul like him!
I agree

2024 and i'm jamming to this!! Hello from South Texas!
The price of admission into Heaven is to create music like what you are listening to. Southern Soul.
Lincoln didn't like 'em.
I wish posters would list all musicians. This guitar is blowing me thru a vortex. RIP, Duane, Gregg, Dickey.
He was only 24 years old when died but he played like he been playing for many years than he was. A genius for sure.
A young body with an old soul.🌞🙃
@@gregjeffcoat4258 just as good as Clapton
"Duane Allman Anthology" was one of the best cassettes that I ever drove too.
Bakersfield to Corpus Christy in 44 hours.
At 55 mph.
One of the few songs he ever sang on. He didn't think his voice was good, but I must say he was perfect on this one. My favorite because of that, it was all him.

I didn’t even know he sang at all, nonetheless in this song. But wow he does have quite a voice, this man is very talented. 50th anniversary!
Loved his voice.
ABSO-F*CKING-LUTELY!

Love that you were open minded to re-explore old music and find worth. At 63 I’m still doing the same
Funny how our musical tastes can change with age....sometimes I think life's rollercoaster ways influences our musical feelings.

So very gratifying to read all this love for Duane here after so many years of wondering if nobody else ever got how extraordinary he was. That instrument WAS him. Seamless, right from the heart.
I agree.
Whenever the subject of an early death of an artist comes comes up, he comes to mind first, always. We was robbed. Yeah, we was robbed.
One of the greatest...
Duane's Anthology blew my mind 45 years ago and still sooth's my southern soul.

Incredible studio musician, southern blues innovator and Les Paul extraordinaire! Nobody in southern rock ever topped him, then and today!
I have to admit, this guy has now gone to the top for all time favourite guitarists. Absolutely outstanding.
Wow...all I can say is...wow. The soul of Duane Allman will live forever.

godamn right!
a highly recommended song for any guitar fan. A classic
I sometimes avoid listening to this one because it will give me the blues even if I don't have them. ! TY, Mr. Duane.
Davids garand it's a tough trade off sometimes, I know! It's like selling out, to let it steal the hours.
true
If this song gives you the blues, then it's the blues you want!
Hell yeah it will!
Right?!?
so much blues, so mature for such a young man. If you don't feel this you are dead
Everything we have from this man, all his playing.... was all before his prime. We never got to see and hear the man in his prime.
Visted Duane the other day in Macon. Rest easy Skydog
thats on my bucket list

Skydog is singing this. A true Brother/Sister knows that, but let's just sit back and enjoy one of the greatest artists of all time, Duane Allman.
Slide playing aside, DA was and still is one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar. Nothing against Jimi but Duane Allman is my "Hendrix"
So much emotion in his guitar work in this blues. Really beautiful.
Skydog attacks that guitar like no other mortal, the feel he achieves just melts you into the song......

Next saw 'em 1975 in South Carolina and Dickey Betts was still the sole guitar man and he took that entire concert, put it on his back, and carried it to high Heaven. It was impressive, he really rose to the occasion. I would have sold my soul to have seen him and Duane onstage together and sold my soul twice to get a good seat to view it even mo' better.
My first time listening to Duane Allman. That was great.
same here :p
Chris Jimenez Hi Brotha.
Ajsem Tibiti ooo! Nice to see you again bro. How are things?
Welcome to the club brotha. Duane was something wasn't he?
Chris Jimenez
Everything is fine thanks dude!
There's something about a good blues performance that hits you deep.
Great that you mentioned Howlin Wolf. One of my favorite of his tracks was Red Rooster False Start & Dialogue off the London Sessions. Telling Clapton and Charlie Watts and the boys how it's done saying stuff like, "Ok let's everybody get together now & we'll try to make it" and "always stop at the top, see?" Great stuff.
Duane Allman RIP.
The tone Duane gets from his '59 cherry burst LP and cherry SG is just one of many reasons old rich men are willing to spend upwards of 200k for clean original instruments of that vintage. That is insane.
I am a hardcore blues fan and this track is AWESOME! I can't imagine anyone NOT feeling this! But it goes Different strokes for different folks! I felt it from head to toe! Did I say it was good? LOL
I feel the same
Surely in the top 5 best guitarist ever to walk the face of the earth.
+Tom Owen #1 for me. Just for the record ;)
very true
+Tom Owen of the Universe
+Charlie Morgan is this MorganSound Charlie Morgan??
not even a question- period.
This was a great album to get stoned to, add little wine, some good herb and this albums blues songs would rip my head off my shoulders!! Sometimes a little T.H.C. really set me off for hours. This is such a great blues album!!! The guitar rips up my head!!!
you sir, are in the groove
I probably did that to the Filmore East Album a thousand times.
Fuckin aye bro!
I know Duane wasn't much for his own voice,but I like it's quiet, wistful quality.
Killer guitar tone here, too. Sorry he never cut a bunch of solo records.
The solo is absolutely mesmerizing !!
Yes I agree
I feel bad for anyone over age 55 that never got to be at an AB concert when Duane and Berry and the rest were all doing their magic !
55 ...saw 'em in 75 with Muddy Waters,Boston Garden.No Duane but I was thrilled to be there still.Nobody has done it like Duane.
saw them in 1970 at Hampton Roads Colliseum. Duane, Berry, Greg, Dickie, Jaimoe, and Butch. God they were great!
that would be me,although just 54,
That would not be me . I live in Daytona, heard the two practice some while they were here & play once when I sat outside a nightclub. After that about 4 concerts, could not travel much , still in high school , saw them when I could. Miss those days. 68 now, still listening, thank God for internet, Live long& rock on!!!
I take umbrage with that! I am 67 and went to many, many concerts of the Allmans, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BB King, and many that most younger than I could not have seen. Blues is it, but All Southern Rock was good!
you know it doesn't ever get any better than this
Good Stuff, Duane really feels his music. ❤ & Soul. RIP Brother.😊
Dang! Tears from this old man, thank you, love and peace to all who want it
One of best ever and One of most underrated ever too. RIP
not underated by people that know and appreciate great musicianship
Not underrated by anyone. If God himself put a video on RUclips someone would call it underrated.
RIP Skydog best slide player of all time
Tony McCallister can you believe they used to say George Thurgood played the slide better? Ha!
He's not playing slide here, though. He just uses a real trebly tone which sometimes fools people. You can hear him bend notes (ie vibrato) and clear fingering in later solos.
Right. God bless him.
Different styles, Skydog is the best he's unique. George is a copycat butt a awsome player.
agreed best slide player ever
24 years old this young man was way ahead of his time God rest your soul Dwayne thank you for all the good music
Duane, excuse me, (Sir Duane) has been my pick as the all time greatest,24 year old, on a six string ever. We will never, ever, have anyone come along, that can touch him, ever. I'm WAY BLESSED!! to be a chronic, adamant, Allman Brothers follower, with JJ Cale bringing up the rear, and I must mention Dicky Betts, (Duane said it himself, Dicky was as good as he was.) I will also throw in Henry Vestine and the awsome guitar players from Canned Heat. I will also add, I'm from Memphis, Tn., I also thank Sam Phillips and Sun Records, without Sam, rock and roll would not be what it is.
you forgot Alvin Lee ...
[ ruclips.net/video/3lz3px4dTU8/видео.html ]
I agree although Derek Trucks has carried on from the Brothers. A different feel but just as soulful.
Al "Blind Owl" Wilson - great man with the slide - died early
rest in peace brother allman,what a great lost to the music world
You're the man Duane, Slide In Peace
Incredible how he gives the solo room to breathe on this tune. Some very cool blues lines without overwhelming the tune.
Duane Allman and all of the Allman brothers band is the ipitome of Southern Blue's and Southern White Boy rock, none better!!!! The very best guitarist, the very best keyboard's and drummers.❤
Top of my list of shit I'm going to do if/when Time Travel is invented (in my lifetime) is to see The Allman Brothers with the Skydog. Mad respect, sir! R.I.P.
Dude was head, and shoulders above the rest!!
Amen.
I think he gives Gregg a run for his money with this song! ✌️🍑🍄💙
My respects and peace to Duane Allman. One of the greatest bluesmen i've ever heard in my life, 19 yo.
This belongs in a museum.....or if you look up blues in Websters it should say "see Duane's Goin Down Slow"
I like your attitude dude...it does indeed belong in a museum. But glad we have it to listen too.
It should be manditory listening in every school, church & halfway house!
Not to mention Congress, Senate & White House!
just lost my mandate for misspelling :P
not that I ever wanted to date a man ... but if I were a woman, Duane would've been my man!
Duane is a phenomena. I think the big man upstairs has a incredible band.
Would have loved to see him live!!! Headphones and Duane will solve any problems you have.
"The BEST Southern Rock Band EVER" 🎶🎸🎶
Vocals from Duane are perfect!!! He oozed the blues on this one for me...
The inventor of Southern Rock when he jammed with Wilson Pickett on Hey Jude!!!!
Oh man, this is IT!
RACISM!!!
RIP to a brother, 44 years ago today we lost Skydog.
Paul Blawie Yep, today marks the day!- year later from when you posted!
It doesn't get any easier, ToriGirlytar, not one bit.
Paul Blawie. n Who is Skydog?
Paul Blawie ... another brother gone. Gregg 😥
SR 0 if you are seriously wondering who Skydog is you must be new to this music. Skydog was Duane Allmans nickname.
Allman a Genius forgotten, fantastic hypnotic melancholic Song... Classic
"The God-Realized Preacher".... I thank God Almighty that I was so Blessed to have seen Duane and Greg twice with The Boys Live as a Young Lad! Duane sings "So Soulfully ".....His Guitar like Hendrix,Prince, Clapton,Winter, Page,Zappa and Bloomfield just makes me feel so alive.....Amen....AUM... Thank GOD for Music and Musicians! Rest in Peace.... Duane,Berry & Greg... Happy Birthday "PRINCE" !!! Missing You Cats!
I can never get enough of him. I can never get too much of him. Ever.
Damn. Most soul from a hippy white dude. And he could play with the best. Shame he was taken so damn soon. His guitar SPEAKS.
Ran in the family man... His brother's vocal on Not My Cross to Bear...
Aint no color in this music that i hear. This man had his natural soul in his music. I really like this and it could hang with anyones version black white brown red yellow. Gets to be kind of stupld sounding. Damn he sounds good
The Allman Bros weren't "Hippies",they were "long hair country boys".They most certainly were not flower children.
You can feel it when he gets that guitar singing!
Nothing abnormal. Duane Allman belongs to all of the Guitar Gods
I just discovered this musician 5 minutes ago and he just blows my mind!
Wow. I did not realize he was such a great singer.
Matt Pefferman
That's Champion Jack Dupree who's singing on that tune... Duane Allman was a session guitar player!
Christophe Amyot-Giroux No, It's Duane.
Christophe Amyot-Giroux WRONG! its Duane.
You should listen to when he sung "Dimples" at Ludlow
neither did I. I have always been a fan of ABB but lately im obsessed with them especially Duane id never heard him sing or heard this song & it is amazing best guitarist hands down
There's very few songs that just pull tears from me n this is one of em. Such a amazing talent lost so young. Enjoy what you have while you have it. Peace n love!
Yes
Bob, I've come across you a couple times and all I can say is...You know your shit! Your info/insight fills in holes,restores memory,completes a picture.When Duane died I was a dumb ass college student in upstate NY.I'm still a dumb ass but I will forever remember that day I was told he passed....i was hitch-hiking to my girlfriends school and the guy who gave me a ride also gave me the news.I'm 61yrs old,quick of mind and spirit...but I will never forget that day. Take care, Jack
If ever a man truly felt his music, it was Duane "Sky Dog"
