[Notes]
we have brought you the previous edition of this album, here is the deluxe.
"My Only True Friend," from Southern Blood, Gregg Allman's final album, is a
cipher, much like the man himself -- private, reserved, and complex. Though
twin, ringing, blues-drenched guitars introduce it, the song just as quickly
morphs into a ballad: "You and I both know, this river will surely flow to
an end/Keep me in your heart...I hope you're haunted by the music of my
soul...But you and I both know, the road is my only true friend...." The
blues guitars cascade in again, adding resonance. This is the only track
here that Allman co-wrote, but it's fine enough to join the shortlist of his
classics -- "Midnight Rider," "Melissa," "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," etc.
When Allman and producer Don Was commenced work on Southern Blood, the clock
was already ticking. The singer had undergone liver transplant surgery, but
the cancer had returned. Tunes and charts were painstakingly chosen.
Allman's road band and some friends were invited to FAME Studios at Muscle
Shoals, the same place that Duane Allman had recorded his initial Stax
sessions, and where, according to Was, the Allman Brothers had their first
rehearsals. Following "My Only True Friend" is a stunning reading of Tim
Buckley's "Once I Was," which accentuates its surrender, followed by the
bitter acceptance in Bob Dylan's "Going Going Gone": "I'm closing the book
on pages and text/And I don't really care what happens next...." But it's
not so cut and dried. That acceptance is balanced by a Celtic-tinged, even
hopeful read of the Grateful Dead's hymn-like "Black Muddy River."
But Allman didn't let his blues and R&B roots to be scattered by the winds.
He delivers Willie Dixon's "I Love the Life I Live" with passion, fire, and
humor as he celebrates hedonism. In Lowell George's "Willin'," Allman looks
back without surrender; he expresses the desire to keep rolling along even
when discovering the highway's dead end in his headlights. He offers Johnny
Jenkins' hoodoo blues "Blind Bats and Swamp Rats" from 1970's
Capricorn-issued Ton Ton Macoute with vengeance, as if to make up for lost
time. (He was the only Allman member who didn't play on the original).
Muscle Shoals makes its voice heard in Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn's 1967
deep soul single "Out of Left Field." Allman imbues it with grit, heart,
tenderness, and power enhanced by backing vocals from the McCrary Sisters
and a powerful three-piece horn section. Jackson Browne's "Song for Adam,"
written for a lost comrade, features the songwriter on backing vocals. In
delivering this song, Gregg is obviously singing about Duane, whose
premature death shaped his own life. Greg Leisz's whining pedal steel
becomes another singing voice, especially at the end when Allman gets too
choked up to deliver the final two lines -- and Was didn't even try to make
him. Southern Blood is almost perfect; there isn't a better final album
Allman could have made. It belongs on the shelf between 1973's Laid Back and
the mysteriously withdrawn but amazing One More Try: An Anthology. [Southern
Blood was also released in a Deluxe Edition featuring two live bonus tracks
("I Love the Life I Live" and "Love Like Kerosene") and a DVD entitled Back
to the Swamp: The Making of Southern Blood.]
