Duane Allman
Nov. 20, 1946 – Oct. 29, 1971
Duane Allman was born in Nashville, Tennessee on this day in 1946. He would have been 62 today had he not tragically been killed in a motorcycle crash on his way to his home in Macon, Georgia.
Arguably the greatest slide guitarist to have ever lived, Duane Allman was best known for his role alongside his brother Greg, in the Allman Brothers Band. Duane Allman was also a well respected studio musician having recorded with the likes of Clarence Carter, Aretha Franklin, Otis Rush, and most notably with Eric Clapton.
Derek and the Dominoes, a band that featured Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, produced Layla, one of Rolling Stone Magazine's "Greatest Songs of All Time", clocking in at #27. Duane Allman discography
