Midnight Rider (on cigar box guitar) | stripped-down Allman Brothers cover

I've been wanting to do a CBG cover of this classic Allman Brothers tune for a while. I tried several takes and the problem was I'd always like the guitar on one take and the vocals on a different take, so I decided to just track them separately. This is the result.

Comment by AGP # on March 5, 2023 at 10:06am: "Well Done Poorness", I don't remember hearing much airplay of the Allman Brothers in the "Land Down Under", back in the day, so I'm not all that familiar with their Music. :-)
