I'd say that with Derek & Warren, this might be the best lineup since the original band. I usually catch them every other year or so. Warren is a fantastic player but Derek is worthy of the moniker one critic gave him, "The holiest guitar in the West." I noticed they were doing Miles' "Spanish Key" fairly often this year.

The Allmans really were genre-smashers - blues/jazz/country/r&b/good old rock'n'roll. [2] I was saying to Alex, that I love how they marry what is basically a country song to a pure R&B backbeat.
