Crash on the levee, mama,
Water's gonna overflow,
Swamp's gonna rise,
No boat's gonna row.
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point,
You can bust your feet,
You can rock this joint.
But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
Now, don't you try an' move me,
You're just gonna lose.
There's a crash on the levee
And, mama, you've been refused.
Well, it's sugar for sugar
And salt for salt,
If you go down in the flood,
It's gonna be your own fault.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
Well, that high tide's risin',
Mama, don't you let me down.
Pack up your suitcase,
Mama, don't you make a sound.
Now, it's king for king,
Queen for queen,
It's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself

I Agree! Very well stated! Thanx RP!
The naysayers are blues haters. They most likely listen to hip hop when alone. Not that all hip hop is bad just a great deal of it. I fear for the fate of blues and jazz because the last couple of generations are not exposed to it enough. Thanks to radio Paradise they can still hear them both.

Derek Trucks is good at guitar.

Johnny Winter and Albert Collins are played here.
So where does that put us?
It's great to hear this on RP. Now if you would only play Johnny Winter, Johnny Guitar Watson, Johnny Copeland, and Albert Collins once and a while your station would reach perfection. Now it's just great.

Seems like a lot of plays of the DT Band this month (January) on RP Main--24 plays in first 3 weeks. I like 'em...but not that much.
...and sucks....
a Duane Allman impersonation. A straight up tribute band.
Thats it

Yeah, LS seemed seriously redneck and without a lot of love or joy. You don't hear much of the band on various stations anymore, although they were huge before that plane crash.
LizK, I agree: Clapton/Southern Rock?!?! Nnnnooo...
This song fills that Allman Brothers/Derek and the Dominoes void in my soul.
So strange- I'm not a huge fan of Southern Rock (I despise Lynyrd Skynyrd in all shapes and forms), but I always adored The Allman Brothers. The Allman Brothers' music always had a very heart rending, tortured, sad, rebellious, proud, stark, REAL feel to me.
Lynyrd Skynyrd were like the loud mouthed, mean spirited, gleefully ignorant, toothless rednecks that sat at the back of the bus and hassled everyone.
I'm probably spelling Lynyrd Skynyrd wrong- but they're not worth the 2 seconds it would take to Google them to check.

I see I started a debate on Clapton's virtues or lack of them with the slide, and also on the knowledge (or lack of it) of RP fans on this topic. But about the last comment, maybe good to low down the tone and not underestimate the comments of people here: RP has an amazing audience and I learn A LOT hearing it and checking the comments from time to time.
You might like Clapton more or less, his first or last of middle albums: that is a matter of taste. He is not a slide-man, agreed, but it is a fact that he knows how to handle the slide, Motherless children is the typical example but several live performances (including the last 2005 Cream re-joining concert) demonstrate it.
Going back to the origin, the Derek Trucks Band sounds great, it has been a discover to me, thanks RP!

I am not even a fan of Clapton anymore, his albums since ""Slowhand"", Ya, 30 years ago, are over-produced, too pleasing, superficial, and no adventure. Once in a while I listen to his life-performances in more recent years, with often younger musicians and then it is all right. He seems a modest person, just contributing in his sincere way, his craftmanship, and will never oberwhelm äll that acting nowadays. Just listen to his older albums, his contribution to the Allman Brothers, My favourite is the Life at Fillmore East album, this is among the nicest live music around in 40 years. Two guitars, helping eachother to great hights, a fantastic double rythm-section, the sustaining Hammond by Gregg,this is life at the most beautiful musical moments.
Am not an English native speaker, so sorry for wrong grammar. But I pretend to know a bit about good guitar work in music, so listen to
Jimmy Hendrix, S. R. Vaughn, J. Beck, Django Edwards, K.Burrell, W. Montgommery, F. Zappa, they are/where no gods, but very close to getting us, the public, having a blink in it.

Look, I don’t want to rain on the parade. But any self-respecting weather forecaster would warn you to zipper up and take an umbrella. Don’t be swayed by all the sunny talk. There are too many storm clouds ahead.

This song fills that Allman Brothers/Derek and the Dominoes void in my soul.
So strange- I'm not a huge fan of Southern Rock (I despise Lynyrd Skynyrd in all shapes and forms), but I always adored The Allman Brothers. The Allman Brothers' music always had a very heart rending, tortured, sad, rebellious, proud, stark, REAL feel to me.
Lynyrd Skynyrd were like the loud mouthed, mean spirited, gleefully ignorant, toothless rednecks that sat at the back of the bus and hassled everyone.
I'm probably spelling Lynyrd Skynyrd wrong- but they're not worth the 2 seconds it would take to Google them to check.

Prefer the Mark Selby version!
Not hard to hear the Allman Brothers influence. Great track.
The first few notes reminded me of one of my old favorite slide blues guitarist, Johnny Winter. Whatever happened to that dude? Johnny and his brother Edgar Winter could sure play their axes.

8->9 for the slide at the end. Lifted me up today.
A lot of ignorance around about E. Clapton/ his"" once in a while""" slide guitar work?? Just do not rely on internet, what was/is truth to this man's musicianship. Whoever thinks reality is on internet ,comments, etc. must be dumb, lazy, and totally wrong.A problem of the younger generation.
I am not even a fan of Clapton anymore, his albums since ""Slowhand"", Ya, 30 years ago, are over-produced, too pleasing, superficial, and no adventure. Once in a while I listen to his life-performances in more recent years, with often younger musicians and then it is all right. He seems a modest person, just contributing in his sincere way, his craftmanship, and will never oberwhelm äll that acting nowadays. Just listen to his older albums, his contribution to the Allman Brothers, My favourite is the Life at Fillmore East album, this is among the nicest live music around in 40 years. Two guitars, helping eachother to great hights, a fantastic double rythm-section, the sustaining Hammond by Gregg,this is life at the most beautiful musical moments.
Am not an English native speaker, so sorry for wrong grammar. But I pretend to know a bit about good guitar work in music, so listen to
Jimmy Hendrix, S. R. Vaughn, J. Beck, Django Edwards, K.Burrell, W. Montgommery, F. Zappa, they are/where no gods, but very close to getting us, the public, having a blink in it.
Very well stated. Wherever you reside, you have excellent musical taste!
