Jack is the best. He sang "Dimples" and "I Can Fix It" during his tenure in the band.

It's always nice to hear when someone does something different with "Midnight Rider", it's deceptively simple and can get really stuck in the mud when some artists cover it straight up, especially modern country bands.

Catching Jack here at a brunch thing tomorrow.

Duo with a strong local jazz guitarist.

Five Resturant in Mobile.

No info on this on Jacks website, Fives website or the Lagniappe. What time?

He is so good, I wish he would team up with the former Allman Bros members like Dickey, jaimoe, warren, Derek, oteil and record a album.

Brunch starts at 10:00 a.m.

Show is 11:00 a.m.- 2:00p.m...… possibly 3:00p.m.

That was done in one take. One take, one time, one man, one guitar.

Love me some Jackie P! This is great, thanks!

Jack in one of the best. Had the great pleasure to meet and speak with him once in Nashvegas.
Humble guy.

Thanks for posting this. Yes he's a great singer as well.

Best Brunch I ever attended. Three hours of great playing. John Cochran is the gentleman on the left.

Miss enigmajean and brother gpm at the happening as well.

I agree. Very nice version of Midnight Rider.

Jack became a good friend of Gregg Allman. Jack was aware of the songs Gregg wrote that was changed by the Allman Brothers. Gregg has said he was never completely happy with that and the long guitar solos in some of his songs and the jamming. Gregg thought some of his songs didn't even need a guitar solo much less jamming for 10 minutes before he got to sing the second verse. Dickey wrote Blue Sky with exactly that in mind. He once said Blue Sky was written to be an instrumental with words.

The reason Gregg featured some of his ABB songs on his solo albums, according to Gregg himself, so he could present songs such as Midnight Rider and Whipping Post closer to how he wrote them and envisioned them to sound. By the time the ABB finished working up Whipping Post with Oakley coming up with the intro and Butch changing the time signature, Gregg said it was almost a different song.

Back when I was so hooked by and into the original band, I thought Gregg and Dickey wrote those songs note for note the way they played them. I didn't know at the time the entire band and especially Berry, Butch and Duane, put their stamp on them. In many bands other band members would of shared the writing credit. But Duane's position was the member who came up with the original composition got the writing credit. That bothered Butch as he felt he should have shared that on a few songs.

When A Decade of Hits was released in 1991 and sold over 2 million copies it really bothered Butch. Butch posted on this site back then that Dickey and Gregg made millions off that and I got nothing.

thanks for posting....way cool...

I wonder what Gregg thought of Dreams when Duane was done with it?

Dead Mallard. Gregg didn't like it. Butch Trucks has some recent interviews on YouTube not long before his death. He said Gregg didn't like all the jamming and long guitar solos between the verses of his songs and the changes the band made to them. He talks about Berry Oakley coming up the a new intro and that led to a new time signature. That Gregg wrote a slow ballad when he wrote Whipping Post and threatened to take his songs on go back to LA but Duane told him to sit down and shut up. You're not going anywhere. We are going to Allmanise these songs and any song that we play. I can see how a singer song writer like Gregg would be more comfortable with a solo band with one man calling the shots but he was loyal to his brother whom he loved and the money got real good.

That is lot of interesting and informative inside information. I learned some things. THX.

I believe you and maybe Duane in retrospect sounds like a Dictator. But somebody had to do it..........Gregg certainly was not up to the task after Duane passed. And I don't mean Dictator I mean someone had to be the driving force, the one who gave everyone else a kick in the ass to be the best band in the world. As Dickey once said, "Gregg was a leader talent-wise. But he wasn't a leader."

And let's remember too that as you already stated Duane always was sure to give Gregg writing credit even if the band added things to a tune like Whipping Post. I wonder how much income Gregg got over his lifetime from that tune. It's got to be huge. Royalties, and a lot of people have covered it as well.

"Just ain't easy" comes to mind

That Gregg wrote a slow ballad when he wrote Whipping Post and threatened to take his songs on go back to LA but Duane told him to sit down and shut up. You're not going anywhere.

In my mind I have always heard Duane saying something like "Nah man, we ain't playin' that sh*t"...just because he was the leader.

TOO good!
