In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed – The Allman Brothers Band “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed“, the first instrumental by the Allmans, composed by none other than Dickey Betts. This Friday, I am attending the Dickey Betts tribute concert in Macon and couldn’t be more excited. I’m thinking this week may just be dedicated to Dickey’s… Read more

Panties In Your Purse – Drive By Truckers A couple of months ago, I had the awesome experience of seeing Mike Cooley of the Drive-By Truckers play a solo acoustic show at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, one of the coolest shows I’ve ever been to. If you’ve followed the blog for a while, you know… Read more

Little Martha – The Allman Brothers Band Little Martha, considered by myself and many to be one of the most beautiful songs ever composed on guitar. Believe it or not, this is the only Allman’s song solely created by Duane Allman by himself. A duet between Duane and Dickey Betts, “Little Martha” is named for… Read more

Freebird – Lynyrd Skynyrd Recorded live July of 1976 at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia Happy Friday! A big part of me starting this blog came from an inkling of an idea about Lynyrd Skynyrd being the most underappreciated and misrepresented band of all time, and at some point, I will make that argument;… Read more

A.H.Q – the Will Overman Band Another tune from my high school years, a good buddy of mine introduced me to this one on a trip to Destin. A.H.Q by the Will Overman Band is a fun little southern rock song that is a laid back listen, great for sharing some drinks with a friend.… Read more

Alabama – Cross Canadian Ragweed CCR or CCR? Most folks are only familiar with one, without giving any credence to the other. (HA!) Cross Canadian Ragweed, one of the most influential (and best) alternative country/rock outfits of all time. I first came across these guys either my senior year of high school, or my freshman… Read more

Live at Plan 9 July 13th, 2006 – Drive-By Truckers I featured a Drive-By Truckers song that was really a Jason Isbell song, so I decided to make it up to them by featuring an entire album of theirs. I was debating about which studio album to look at, but ended up going with one… Read more
