Duane Allman's Studio Work
Posted on 1/15/13 at 5:15 pm

Most of us know and love Duane's tenure with the Allman Brothers Band. IMO, the original outfit was the greatest jam band in history. I've heard no other band come close to the chemistry and innovation that came from their early years.
That's not the subject of this post, however. I'm not too sure how familiar y'all are with his studio contributions, so I'll go ahead and share a few. Post anything that I have left out.
Boz Scaggs - Loan Me a Dime
Wilson Pickett - Hey Jude
Aretha Franklin - It Ain't Fair
Duane Allman - Goin' Down Slow (Duane actually did a solo album, in 1968 I think. This is definitely the best cut.)
Johnny Jenkins - Walk on Gilded Splinters
Ronnie Hawkins - Down in the Alley
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla
These are just a few of the credited songs. There are even more for which he was not credited, but simply pocketed the cash.
Wail on, Skydog.

The Dead and the ABB are the only jam bands I can enjoy while sober. Duane's ABB almost don't even deserved to be labelled as jam - it was more of jazz-rock-blues fusion.

Can you still have fun?

Is this a rhetorical question, or directed to me personally?
If it's directed to me, no I can't have fun
If it's rhetorical, yes I think you can have fun, especially if you enjoy having raw eggs massaged into your naked body

How Kafkaesque.

Clapton heard one of the Arethea songs with Duane on it and called Tom Dowd (who produced Disraeli Gears) to see who that was playing slide on the record. That call led to Duane being on Layla and other assorted love songs (also produced by Dowd).

I have listened to all of those far too many times. 
Duane is easily my favorite musician, ever. The sounds he could coax out of a guitar are unbelievable. He played with such emotion and precision at the same time. I have never heard his equal.

I could have sworn that, at least when I read Skydog, it was Pickett's cover of Hey Jude that led to that call. I could have a faulty memory, of course.

I'm fairly certain I saw an interview w/Clapton where he said it was HJ he heard

Something along the lines of driving down the road, hearing the solo, and pulling over. I will re-read Skydog and see if the quote is in there.

I bought this CD for my father as a Christmas present. The versions of Blue Sky, 'Liz Reed, Dreams, and Whipping Post are probably the best of all time, IMO.

Ya i am pretty sure it was the Outro of Hey Jude that got clapton hooked. Then clapton went to see ABB in miami while they were recording Layla.

If I recall correctly, both Duane and Gregg saw Clapton in the audience. Gregg kept playing, but Duane was so taken aback that he actually missed a bar or two.
