Oh, wow that Allman Brothers tune brings back memories. My first high school girlfriend made me a mixtape with that on it one year, and as she had no idea what my music taste was really, this was the only song on it that I actually enjoyed. But what the hell, it's Duane and Gregg.

It's actually Duane and Dickey. Dickey Betts was the one who composed Blue Sky. People always seem to forget about him since he wasn't, well, Duane or Gregg, but he was still one hell of a musician. Still is really, I saw him 3 years ago and while he's really old and not looking so great nowadays, the guy can still play with the best of them.

I'm with flagamuffin, that Allman Bros tune really brings back some memories. I had a roommate in college that was a big Allman Bros fan. Blue Sky and Sweet Melissa are two of the songs that always take me back to that time.

That Kurt Vile tune was great. I had not heard it before, glad I did. Thanks.

I'm a huge fan of anything Kurt Vile. Glad you liked the song!
