Duane Allman - Goin' Down Slow (1969)
A new visitor suggested trying to piece together Duane Allman's aborted solo album from 1969, and although I had already thought of doing this, as well as Gregg's from the same year, in both cases there was a lack of available songs to really make it happen. However, I thought I'd give it another go, and have come up with the premise of using songs that Allman recorded with other bands in the same year that he was making his solo album, and on which he is prominently featured on guitar. This means that I can include his stunning guitar-work on Boz Scaggs' eponymous 1969 album, as well as a track from Barry Goldberg's release of the same year. Add to this the three songs which have survived on which Allman sings as well as plays, and a throwaway instrumental with his friends Johnny 'Duck' Sandlin and Eddie 'Bear' Hinton, and we have a 43 minute album featuring the best of Duane Allman's superlative playing from 1969. If we just pretend that Scaggs and Goldberg are guest vocalists then it makes for a pretty good approximation of a Duane Allman solo record.

Many thanks, there's no such thing as having too much Duane A.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Allman Brothers a number of times at the Fillmore East and yes, I was there for the famous "Live At" . I went to the show that had the bomb scare. Because of that, Johnny Winter came out first, even though he was headliner. When the Allmans finished and we walked out to go home, the sun was up. What a night! After Duane died, I never bought another Allman Brothers album, same thing with the Who after Keith died. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been a lot of places and done a lot of things. Seen history made and been part of concert and club shows that left us in tears. Never saw Skydog.
DeleteRight now, after listening to goin down slow for the nth time I’d trade it all for one of your Fillmore experiences.
