Steve from Alexandria, VaGreg Allman once said in an interview regarding writing Midnight Rider "that song hit me like a sack of hoe handles".we'll never know except what we already ue southern talent. both amazing guitarist,who knows what could have been. you can hear and feel duane and dickeys' opposing styles so well here. greg re-made it a few years later but this is the best. Lee from Huntsville, Althis was the original version of the song with duane playing.he has that signature sound with no rival. Lee from Huntsville, Aldickey also played on marshall tucker's "fire on the mountain" single.listen and you will undoubtedly hear his style.Would have loved to see this live with all the original players. Jerry from Chicago, IlThis is as good a song as there is.As far as I am concerned, this is another big company co-opting the wonderful music from the baby boomer generation. It features the money covered biker riding down a road with money flying all over the place. Roann from Apalachin, NyThis incredible song is now used in a Geico motorcycle insurance commercial.Would've been cool to learn it from Gregg himself. It looks fairly easy, once somebody shows how it's played. I found several lessons for it on YouTube, so I might finally learn to play it. Tommy of NY, NY: Thanks for that note about the sound engineer being "drafted" to play that riff.
I like Gregg's version okay, with the electric piano and horns (4:28 on his "Laid Back" or "Best of" albums), but I kinda prefer the original (first released on "Idlewild South," I think), even though it's shorter (2:59). in 1976 Paul Davidson reached #10 with it, and in 1980 Willie Nelson's version peaked at #6 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart. Three covered versions charted in 1972 Joe Cocker took it to #27 on the Top 100, in the U.K. Nine years earlier on December 16th, 1973 Gregg Allman's re-worked version of the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart and on February 17th, 1974 it peaked at #19 (for 1 week) and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100.
Scotty from San Jose I always assumed this song was about the midnight ride of Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott who was the final rider to make it all the way to Concord to warn that the British were coming! Wrong! Stumped again!!.Anthony from Guadalupe, AzIt is played in the opening scene of the 2004 remake of "Walking Tall" starting The Rock.Rodney from ScAlways liked midnight rider.Rodney Kinnett from ScAlways enjoyed the Allman brothers songs.Sandra Morrison from Bayonne, NjSounds reminds of living on the edge.One more silver Dollor, some old bed I'll soon be sharing.They caught the midnight rider 2,800 lbs premo Joe333 from Corona CaAfter 50 years of listening they caught me 12/2/21 one day after my 60th birthday.Joe333 from Corona CaI thought it was about moonshine running.Pope Syd from CaliforniaThis song was also used in Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects.E from Los Angelesheard in the opening credits of a horror movie.
