That is some sweet vintage Betts tone! Thanks

My thoughts are that Gregg didn’t possession the chops to do a Jimmy Smith/type project. For the record, I love GA’s organ playing...esp when he was hammering down on the Leslie. Felt it was never high enough in the mix.

Interesting in that same groove ended up being "Jelly, Jelly" and appeared on some prints of the inner sleeve as "Early Morning Blues"...Evidently some indecision in deciding on what take and what song.

It actually appeared as "Early Morning Blues" because they recorded it so, with a pretty sweet outro. Not sure why Gregg switched it to "Jelly Jelly"

Here is Early Morning Blues:

They recorded it as Early Morning Blues with words by Gregg then as Jelly Jelly with words by Trade Martin. The inner sleeve said Early Morning Blues by Gregg Allman and the actual record said Jelly Jelly by Trade Martin. A friend back in 1973 bought his copy of Brothers and Sisters after Ramblin' Man became a big hit and his inner sleeve said Jelly Jelly by Trade Martin just like the actual record. A couple years later I bought a girl friend a copy and it said Jelly Jelly by Trade Martin and Billy Estein.

I guess the music on those slow blues songs are kinda gernic so if you change the lyrics then the writer may change.

One Way Out on Eat A Peach originally said it was by Elmore James and Marshall Sehorn. Later copies have Sonny Boy Williamson 2 added to the writing credit. Wish they would have added my name too.:) Eat A Peach sold over 2 million and it's also on A Decade of Hit which came out in 1991 and sold over 2 million. I'd be driving a better car now:)

Yep, I have both inner sleeves

Bobby Blue Bland song of same name has some similar lyrics in part. And the ABB song sounds like Stormy Monday-ish. This Outskirts "version" should have been on the album instead. Or they should have used Bobby Blue Blands lyrics. The version on B&S seemed silly in 73 and it still does to me, I can't get past the simple cliched lyrics and the Stormy Monday vibe. I don't remember anyone particularly digging it in 73, and much of the rest of the album got praise and everyone had it in their album stack. Odd song.

/ I am referring to Jelly Jelly. I kinda like this Outskirts thing!

Probably the best Hammond playing by Gregg ever recorded is on this tune.......just Soulful. If you don't have the Brothers and Sister Remaster with the second disc, "Rehearsals, Jams and Outtakes"........you need to find it!

Absolutely, enjoyed listening to a couple of the outakes posted this week.
Thank you

the outro on the b&s version smokes...

Thanks for the link. I wish they would have played this song more.

With Duane's awesome snarling blues licks
