Going to the Country! Baby, Do You Want to Go?



I'll spare you my words today and try to stick to the music. I was looking around for some Allman Brothers and found this awesome blog with tracks that Duane Allman was a session guitarist for. I really have to say, the Allman Brothers are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. That sounds like a bold claim but look at their credentials. They started back in 1969 and in 2009, they recently held their 40th Anniversary run of shows at the Beacon Theater. Forty years of rocking and they are still going strong. They've had some of the greatest musicians in their band and have overcome the deaths and departures of band members. I saw them last summer and after the show I heard from many die-hard Allman fans that they had just played one of their best shows of their career. This was coming from guys that went to shows back when they started. I can't think of many bands to have been touring and ripping it up for that long. The only ones I can are all legends: The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bruce Springsteen. That's quite a league of musicians the Allman Brothers are in. So anyway, here's the blog with Duane Allman's collaborations. Definitely make sure to listen to "Hey Jude" and "The Weight"(Duane Allman's sweet blues and Aretha Franklin's powerful voice together is straight "buttaaa"). Right click and save link as:

Here's a couple songs from a guy I recently found. His name is Edwin Van Cleef and he's the bomb.

"Lovin'" - Edwin Van Cleef

"Overtaken" - Edwin Van Cleef and "Delia (Edwin Van Cleef Remix)" - ProCon

"Nightdrive With You (Fear of Tigers Remix) - Anoraak

"Study Hard Drugs School" - Fear of Tigers

This last link has a bunch of dope songs on it. You guys might already have a couple of them. One's that are dope that I would guess you do not have are "Beatiful Day Without You", "1901", "Dance Dance Dance", "Far Away", and "Daniel".

Enjoy
