Thanks for posting this!
The link to this song and article stated its a 15th of September release, I believe the other thread about Gregg stated 8th of September.

That song by itself is better than the entirety of Low Country Blues. God I hope the rest of Southern Blood is similar in quality.

Great song. I just received an email today that Southern blood will be released on September 8th.

Awesome song! So excited about this. Gregg lives on in our hearts via his amazing music!! 🙂

This song is amazing, truly rivals his best, it brought me to tears. Can hardly wait for the release of the album. Some great tunes, Willin is a favorite from Lowell George, and the Johnny Jenkins tune should be superb. Plus Song for Adam. Wow.

my my.................

Excellent, I believe he played this song live a couple times.

Damn. Brought tears to my eyes. I can see country music radio covers of this playing forever.
I hope TTB covers.

Same, the lyrics are really haunting / touching. Glad he left us with this wonderful music.

When Gregg wanted to write songs, he did a damn good job. And thanks to Mr. Sharrard also!!

Love it, love it!!!

great tune!
The track listing for the album is awesome. Can't wait to hear it, although it will be quite emotional
kinda like Warren Zevon The Wind

I like the lyrics," You and I both know, the road is my only true friend."
I like the harmonizing guitars, very Allman esque. Miss hearing that stuff. Nice tasty solo by Scott. When he plays at times he kind of has a Dickey feel. I have heard that on more than a few occasions. Nothing wrong with that.

Actually jzfunk the intro riff/hook reminded me of 80's DDT in the GAB. Nothing wrong with that either. 😉

Yeah, I can see that. I was just more so focusing in on the twin guitar harmony. Reminds me of Dickey.

I had that thought too.

If this first song which brought me to tears is any indication we are in for a masterpiece of a record.

Scott has no trouble channeling Dickey Betts.
Dan Toler didn't either.

I know scott had said they wrote 2 songs together for the album, makes me wonder if the other one will ever be released.

Agree. I mentioned that before, at times you can hear dickey in Scotts playing, which is fine with me. I miss hearing that sound and feel.

Wow - hearing new music he recorded near the end of his life and a look inside his mind in this way. Cool song.
