Laid Back does have an underlying, haunting pain to it. Reading this earlier I was reminded of The Gregg Allman solo tour promoting Laid Back. Great show.

I need to listen to his other solo projects more, Laid Back's always been my 'go to 'solo lp.

Love your work Dr. Bob

THANX

Thanks for the Southern Blood recommendation. Not something I've spent a lot of time on.

Laid Back is just fantastic. Gregg really shattering the mold on that one, coming into his own a great lyricist. I can still listen to All My Friends over and over.

though Laid Back only has 2 new originals, they’re pretty unbelievable: Queen of Hearts and Multicolored Lady.

I just listened to Multicolored Lady again for the first time in quite awhile. Perhaps I'm in frame of mind to receive it, but yes, that is an unbelievable song.
