1. The guitarist was Duane Allman

When he was working at Mussel Shoals as a studio hand. He started the Allman Brothers (Well, The Allman Joys first) with his little brother a year later.

Have you heard Aretha Franklin's version of The Weight? That's Duane too.

2. Are you shitting me?

Duane was studio on Wilson's "Hey Jude"? Anything is possible and makes sense. I am getting back into Motown after an extended time in the San Francisco Sound.

3. Yeah, he did a lot of soul tunes back then. Mussel Shoals, come for the horn section stay for Duane

According to Clapton, that cover of "Hey Jude" is why he wanted to work with Duane in the first place. Of course that idea became Derek and the Dominoes and one of the best rock albums of all time

In Greg Allman's autobiography "My Cross To Bear" he writes about Duane getting gigs in Alabama at the studios around the town of mussel shoals - He was amazed because Duane couldn't read music.

Getting ready for that session Duane listened to Hey Jude and Wilson Pickett's singles nonstop for a few days and just played it by ear.

He never learned to read music, but could play anything, with anyone

One of the big reasons The Allman Bros were what they were

4. Indeed, they were.

We had so many gret and creative people coming on scene in 1970, it's fucking hard to keep track.
