I pretty much agree though I will say that Gregg Allman's version on his 1st solo album is a slower, mellower version....albeit, still a little mysterious. And Gregg wrote the song so.......
Yes boys Chris is one of the finest but I hope you guys don't discount Ollie. The guy is amazing and always performs with a gentlemanly humility that allows such a project to work. I'm so glad Super Wood Bros. got together to make my favorite band/game. lol 1337 Skills! Anyone wanna take a stab at the meaning of this song? I'm curious what you may think.
Typically I love the Wood Brothers, but they kind of treat every cover the same, right? Here I think they sucked a lot of the life out of this tune. This is not meant to be mellow and sleepy, it's meant to be energetic, wandering and a little mysterious.
looking at the comments below makes me laugh --No this isn't good,this is absolutely horrendous,it's an insult to The Allman Brothers who were from the south and not from a bunch of nerds from Colorado 👎
Awesome , all i can say.
I think that we can all agree that the upright is magical thing to hear.
Yeah! Have you heard him play with Martin, Madeski and Wood?
when played like that, yes
If you've ever seen reverend horton heat live you know how insanely loud they are
Great cover. Upright Bassist is killing it.
Crikey - just 'discovered' these blokes - outstanding......
Sweet variation; the Wood Bros know how to capture a song and own a piece of it.
Such a rich sound!
Pure and true. From the gut. ❤
Wood Brothers at the Philly Folk Festival. Most excited I've been to see an act there in 18 years of going!
The Wood Brothers doing The Allman Brothers... I approve.
That man is beast on bass!
Been a HUGE fan since discovering them in 2008...Got tickets to see them next month!!! YAY :) LOVE their version of this SO much.
one of the better versions I've heard
best version of midnight rider by far. and i love the way chris wood plays bass
dude owns it, love how he also chips in with a little percussion using it.
Excellent!!!!
These guys are an absolute treat to see. They're actually opening for Zack Brown at Phillips in Atlanta on NYE
oh Yeah! Groove it baby!
They are amazing!
the bass line is so perfect
you guys are badass!!! glad i happened across ya'll. George B. Murray County GA.
dont know about the bass, one way or the other, but Oliver Wood is the most outstanding voice in music today.
imho.

Gentlemanly humility.
Love that. 🙏
Good cover
Oliver sounds fucking amazing. Chris, too, for that matter. Too bad this song didn't stay in their repertoire. Magic.
I looove a REAL bass...
HUGE bass sound. Anybody know if he's using gut for his D and G strings?
@shogunjobu Chris is is the Wood in MMW.
I would be interested in showing this youtube video on my local tv show if you don't mind. We play charity ads for free.
any connection to Madeski, Martin and Wood????
Joseph Doherty yep the the bassist Chris wood was a member
If y'all like this you should check out Oliver's long time project/original band, King Johnson.
Church and State.
Maybe you should ask Greg Allman.
do the brothers ever come out California way?
lmao
Nothing to say here...just listen

1) No, not really. 2) Disagree, but hey! it's subjective. 3) Says who?

I always prefer the originals. But of the 57 covers of this song, at least these guys try to make it their own. I liked it.
