This is one of those songs that always gets me. Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. It's one of those songs that you can identify from the first chord. Because that first chord is your heartstring being plucked. Certain songs seem to call to you... this is one that calls to me. It transports me. Maybe to a former time when it played like the soundtrack of my life. Or perhaps to a place where i want to hear it again and define a few certain times yet to come. It makes me smile. It makes me hopeful. It makes me feel my soul shine.
There are plenty of remakes of this song but none quite has the same feeling as that of the Allman's guitars. Gregg Allman is ranked the 2nd best guitarist to ever play, right behind a fuzzy haired man named Jimmy. Through this song you can hear his soul shine...
