Gregg Allman’s cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Love The Life I Live” has been released. The track is featured on Allman’s final album Southern Blood. The song was written by Willie Dixon and made famous by versions recorded by Muddy Waters and Willie Nelson. The album also features covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne and Jerry Garcia. Southern Blood will be released on September 8. Southern Blood was recorded live in two weeks at the world-renowned Fame studio in Muscle Shoals Alabama, and produced by Don Was. “Gregg was thrilled that the sound in his head was manifesting itself on the tape,” Was says. “He didn’t have all the lungpower of his younger self, but we felt that these raw, weathered performances were honest and compelling. We all agreed to leave them as they were on the day they were recorded. In the spirit of Laid Back [Allman’s first solo album], Gregg wanted to hear things like background harmony vocals and reverb on his voice, but this album is essentially a documentary of our two weeks in the studio.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com.
