Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Butch Trucks more than once said this is the worst Mountain Jam the band ever played in its long history!! </p>
<p>But they decided to use it because it is album release quality from the Fillmore East recordings with Duane on it. </p>
<p>If one puts on a good set of headphones and cranks it up, the playing is phenomenal. </p>
<p>Berry Oakley especially during Gregg and Dickey's solos is simply fantastic. Otiel, Woody, Lamar, Jack Bruce or Stanley Clark could not have played the bass better!!! How did Berry play like a 30 year veteran at just 23 years old. </p>
<p>Listen carefully with some headphones and hear the "wow" factor!! </p>

<p>Just Goddamnit to Hell.  This one smarts, as I was a fan and literal hanger-on to Wayne since I first learned about him back in 1974.</p>
<p>Wayne Perkins.  Do I have to explain to y'all exactly who he was?  This was the guy who could've been a Rolling Stone, a member of Lynnyrd Skynard (which I'll never be able to spell), a Bob Marley sideman, a sideman (musically and romantically) with Joni Mitchell.  Keith Richards WANTED Wayne for the 'Stones, but lost a semi-democratic argument with Mick who wanted the band to remain 100% British.  Go into any bookstore - find ANY book about the Rolling Stones and search the Index for his name.  He will be mentioned.</p>
<p>Wayne was actually offered a position in Skynnard, but turned them down.  I believe that the Stones gig was still a possibility at this point and he played his cards in his best interest.  That's Wayne with Ronnie Van Zandt and and Swamper/engineer Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals sound.  Wayne said he was swimming in the nearby Tennessee River when Jimmy sent someone to find him to lay down a track on a Skynard demo.  Wayne obliged.  He and Ronnie were good friends.</p>
1499
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wayne's band use to play on Friday and Saturdays at a local Birmingham club.  I can't say that I KNEW Wayne, but I got to be a fly on the wall when he told several of his stories.  </p>
<p>Wayne and another American player, Harvey Mandell were considered for the spot vacated by Mick Taylor.  The Stones used their Black and Blue album as sort of an audition for guitarists vying for the spot.  Wayne ended up on three tracks on the album, including adding a blazing solo to a song  called Hand of Fate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RGhtDjup38</p>
<p>Wayne was a locl hero to me.  If I had a dollar for every time I entered a bar under-age to hear him ... I'd have $hitload of dollars.</p>
<p>I wish I could lookk Wayne in the eye and tell him thanks for all the musical thrills and good times.  Rest, Brother.</p>
<p>Yeah, this one smarts.  </p>
