Butch Trucks style of drumming along with his brother Jaimoe, was totally original with a fusion of jazz, blues, and country with an amazing shuffle that was the southern rock drum percussion sound that was their own trademark. No other band played like the Allman Brothers drummers as their style started and originated with THEM. Butch Trucks was a fantastic drummer and percussionist who left a lasting legacy in the music and drumming world. We miss you Buctch, one of the best blues country drummers of our era, they don't get any better than the "frieght Train". RIP.
So sad to think of Butch being so unhappy he’d end it all. He always seemed such a great guy and certainly deserved to be happy and content at this stage.
Dave Mason was the original guitarist Eric Clapton had asked to pplay on the album but he was not working out so Eric was in the search for a replacement.
Leaning against the stage at an Allman Brothers concert, right in front of Berry Oakley at the Manhattan Center in late August 1971 - yup - that was me - a night one never forgets. RIP Butch
