@larsman Yes, Duane Allman played guitar on the studio album (Boz Scaggs) version of Loan Me A Dime, and it’s some of his best work. However, on the Greatest Hits Live album, Matt Bissonette played guitar. The live album version is a more free form R&B improvisation and Matt’s playing excellent while lacking some of the intricacies and wonderful intonations of Duane’ work on the studio album. I love both versions, and the studio version is the best from the perspective of strict composition, but I gravitate to the free flowing emotion I feel from Boz’s vocals and from the backup band on the live version.
Your favorite obscure song
What song in your music inventory do you consider a barely known hidden gem? Like a well kept secret know only to a few that you can listen to over and again.
For me it's 'Roads to Moscow' from Al Stewart's 'Past Present and Future' album.
The music, the lyrics, the story it tells is- to be just slightly hyperbolic- brilliant.
Check it out, especially if your a WW2 history buff.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.😁
