What kind of music you hear while you trade?

BB King/Diane Schuur:

Caring and sharing, brother.

Wishing all a Fabulous Friday.

Extending on from Duane's death there was one more moment that probably put an end to the Allman Brothers Band's mystique (after Duane passed) and that was one year & one month later in Nov '72 when bass player Berry Oakley also died tragically following a motorcycle accident also. While the band played on in a new format till around '76 it was probably not the same internally for the group.

Dickey Betts branched out in '74 with a solo album (and in '77 after leaving the Allmans he formed his new band Great Southern).


The 74 Highway Call solo album had Dickey back doing some bluegrass roots and he teamed up with legendary bluegrass fiddle player Vassar Clements and others, including Chuck Leavell from the Allman's on piano.

'Tis a long song lol, I like it,
but any could come in at the 8:45 min mark
where they let loose to close out the song


Hand Picked - Richard Betts
(as he called himself on the vinyl LP)




Vassar Clements and then Vassar again later in 2004

And don't try to catch it on the way down ; )

Respect, brother!
One of the best!

Starting the week on a slightly different tack.
I only heard over the weekend that Nanci Griffith had passed away a year ago, aged 68.

Nanci wrote that she termed her music folkabilly, a mix of country & folk.
And in her career she also recorded duets with quite a few artists including Emmylou Harris, Mary Black, John Prine, Don McLean, Jimmy Buffett & Willie Nelson.


I picked this song as I was quite blown away by the cellist opening on it

Nanci Griffith, acoustic & vocals
Jennifer Kimball, backing vocals
Lee Satterfield, mandolin
and I tracked down a pic of cellist, session muso John Catchings


Not My Way Home - Nanci Griffith




Pics John Catchings, Nanci

And then, quickly, a live set in 1991 from Nanci doing a version of the old Rolling Stones song, on the recorded show Austin City Limits

(which is what I have trading today lol, as my pair GJ sees both The UK & Japan having a bank holiday )



No Expectations
