Obscure Song You Should Download

The Allman Brothers Band was formed in Daytona Beach, Florida and forged in the studios of Capricorn Records in Macon, Georgia. Along with his brother Duane, Gregg Allman recruited a group of musicians that were able to mix elements of rock, blues, country and folk music and create a sound that would come to signify Southern rock. In fact, Gregg said it all when he told VH1 that saying "Southern rock" is redundant, because it was created by us, so it's like saying "rock rock." Anyhow, with all their mega hits, they also generated dozens of songs that are lost to the radio for various reasons, usually because they like to jam for minutes at a time. This song is my favorite ABB song of all time, and I have never heard it played on the radio. Gregg wrote it and Duane slays the slide guitar in an awesome solo. Enjoy "Dreams," y'all.
