Late Night FDL: I’m No Angel
Gregg released it ahead of his new album…
With the Allman Brothers Band now retired for good, Gregg Allman is moving ahead with his solo career, and his next release will be the live CD/DVD package, Back To Macon, GA, due out August 7.
Allman has been touring quite a bit as of late with his solo band, which now includes longtime Allmans percussionist Marc Quinones. Back to Macon, GA sees his current ensemble revisiting some of his Allmans classics as well as some of the highlights from his solo catalog, including his 1987 hit “I’m No Angel.” Watch that performance above.
When we spoke to Gregg last year, he told us to expect more solo releases. He’s planning to work with producer T-Bone Burnett on a follow up to 2011’s GRAMMY-nominated Low Country Blues. Additionally, he said, “I also have one to cut in Muscle Shoals with Don Was, and that’s a record I’ve long been pre-meditating, maybe thirty years, and the title will be All Compositions By… my name.”
In the meantime, Gregg and his band are currently on tour (see the dates at his website), including headlining the Laid Back Festival in Long Island, New York on August 29.
Be nice to one another…!

I’ve posted this one before…..but since no one else in up I’ll post it again.
loved this song from the first time I heard the Allmans at the Fillmore East back when they were the opening act for the Dead.
the odd time signature used to bedevil my teenaged drummer butt during the middle of the song……..
anyway, a good (and droll) bluegrass version……

Song by John Prine
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that’s grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom’ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren’t much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom’ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

that was another really nice and tasty one.
this one is a bit of a cock-up
weird chart and I’ve no idea why he wants to sing something sung by Gregg.

joe covered a lot of songs back in the day… i remember the boxtops version before joe did this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RnjWLVyMps
and, of course, his beatles cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRzKUVjHkGk
yeah, he covered those just fine…. the Mad Dogs and Englishmen band was kick-ass but Joe was ALL messed-up by the end of that…. and Leon Russell (when his hair was still brown) was really running things.
