No Woman No Cry - The Devon Allman Band

[cbjustmusic]

A Devon Allman and Maggie Rose video for “These Days”. Devon’s father Gregg Allman had a successful recording of this song in 1973, but it was actually written by Jackson Browne when he was 16. _________________________ These Days Songwriter: Jackson Browne

Well I've been out walking I don't do that much talking these days These days, these days I seem to think a lot About the things I forgot to do, for you And all the times I had a chance to

Well I've had a lover I don't think I'll risk another these days These days, these days I seem to be afraid Live the life that I've made in song But it's just that I have been losing, so long

These days I sit on the corner stone Count the time in quarter tones of ten, my friend And now I believe I want to see myself again

These days I sit on the corner stone Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend Please don't confront me with my failure I'm aware of them

Second-generation Beatles Band to Release LP in 2020

- Julian, James, Dhani and Zak aim for Monkeymania

"We have nothing to hide," Julian Lennon said in announcing a new band with James McCartney, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey called Me and My Monkey.

The group of Beatles scions has entered a studio with an eye on releasing its debut LP on 10 April, 2020, the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' breakup.

Lennon said he was inspired by the Allman Betts Band, which features Devon Allman, Duane Betts and Berry Oakley Jr. performing Allman Brothers covers and original material. After watching videos of the second-generation Allman Brothers, Lennon called the children of Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and they quickly agreed to make a go of it.

"We've all - James, Dhani, Zak and meself - had this monkey, our surnames, on our backs since the day we were born," Lennon said in a statement. "After fighting it for five decades, we've decided to embrace it."

“I’m chuffed,” McCartney said on Facebook.

“Jolly great,” Harrison tweeted.

“Who?,” Starkey asked when reached for comment.

The band's yet-untitled debut will be recorded at Abbey Road studios and will feature one disc of Beatles redos and another of original songs. Longtime Fabs fanatic Todd Rundgren has tentatively agreed to produce and writing sessions are going well, Lennon said.

Starkey's father, Ringo Starr (née Richard Starkey) tweeted his support for the band and offered Me and My Monkey an opening slot on next year's All Starr Band tour.

"Peace and love to the kids,” Starr wrote. “See you on the road.”

Exceptional.

What you hold in your hands is our father’s last statement. He wanted to leave you a most poignant, soulful and deep parting gift as he left us all. Our father truly lived and breathed music. His entire essence, being and life were centered around it. He took exceptional joy in knowing his music was the soundtrack to your good times and the medicine for your bad times. So please, celebrate him, continue to play his music, & turn it up...because the road goes on forever. ~ Devon Allman

Album Review: The Dickey Betts Band - Ramblin’ Man: Live at the St. George Theatre

The road does not go on forever. But sometimes it goes on too long.

Former Allman Brother Dickey Betts has sadly reached the point where a good tribute act could sound more like Dickey Betts than Betts himself can. All the evidence is there on his eponymous band’s Ramblin’ Man: Live at the St. George Theatre, recorded July 21, 2018, during Betts’ abbreviated comeback tour that was cut short after the guitarist suffered a mild stroke and subsequent fall.

The album features seven Allman oldies - nothing beyond 1973’s Brothers and Sisters - and finds Betts struggling mightily after an auspicious start with the instrumental “Hot ’Lanta.”

Betts’ voice is shot - an unrecognizable shell of what it was and sounding a quarter-century older than its 75 years. His playing, too, is clunky and choppy - devoid of the fluidity that made it so delicious in the days of yore.

An atonal Devon Allman guests on “Midnight Rider” to sing father Gregg’s words and the best that can be said for this cameo is it’s much better than Betts’ takes on “Blue Sky,” outfitted with an intro based on the Grateful Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower,” and the title track, which is just dreadful.

A passable rendition of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” eats up 20 of the LP’s 70 minutes and succeeds mostly because of Duane Betts’ guitar playing and the fact it’s instrumental. The crowd cheers this workhorse mightily, but it’s likely a response to the joy of seeing the elder Betts - rather than hearing him - on stage for the first time in half a decade.

The set-closing “Jessica” is another depressing specimen as Dickey lags behind his son on the instrumental’s twin-guitar harmonies. Stumbling, muffed notes result in the rendition sounding like a garage-band rehearsal rather than a performance by the man who wrote it.

In the end, Ramblin’ Man is a souvenir of something not worth remembering unless you happened to be there. And even that is a stretch.
