One of my favorite songs is Statesboro Blues performed by the Allman Brothers Band. The Allman Brothers recorded it in 1971. Rolling Stone rated it number nine on their list of the"100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time"
However, the song was originally recorded in 1928 by its author, Blind Willie McTell. Born in Thomson, Georgia Mr. McTell once called Statesboro his real home.
Here is the rendition by the Allman Brothers in 1971 at Fillmore East.
