Caevan O’Shite Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Love both of those! Duane's lead tone and feel in particular on the Ludlow Garage track. John Lee's original is pretty awesome all-around, as well. Love how different these two takes on that song are, in spite of the Allman's cover not deviating all that much in form, style, and arrangement.

d halfnote Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well, both versions share many qualities but they reach out to a wider slice of the blues. While "Dimples" isn't the formulaic blues changes (hey, it's JLH !) There's a definite sense of the usual lyrical strophes that performers picked through when making new songs. Listen back to the versions of "Dimples" & compare to these 2 trax: (Most obviously) Allman's version of "Trouble No Mo' " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chCHGVfX924 Catch the vocal's rhythmic similarities ? Orig. M Water's version: (Most historically--- & more abt this at some future date ) "Fast Life Rider" One of the most old Mississippi style blues trax Dig the verse abt "gonna change the locks" for a direct connection to the vocal similarities. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
