I like "Down along the Cove" which directly relates to "Walk on Gilded Splinters" on the Anthology Vol II. On this "Gilded Splinters", Duane is playing with both Butch & Jaimoe as they back up Johnny Jenkins on his "Ton Ton Macoute" album for ATCO. Jaimoe told me in a phone interview that the first place Duane heard Jaimoe play was on a Johnny Jenkins record...and he asked Jenkins who the cat was...Duane called him up and they started to jam as a duet...then added Berry.
That Eddie 9V is a real good version of "Down Along the Cove". "Gilded Splinters" is one of my favorites also. I got to hear Dr John do it live at a festival I was working. For our"Fishin' with Duane" documentary we are using the sitting down image of Duane from the same fishing photo shoot. It was what Butch used for his presentation at the first Roots Rock Revival. Vaylor is going to do his version of "Fishin' with Duane" this year to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Roots.
Alan is going to be at this years Roots with his new book. You really ought to come up. It's going to be VERY special this year.

"Down Along the Cove" was actually a leftover track from Duane's aborted solo sessions at FAME in Jan/Feb 1969 that Walden/Capricorn overdubbed.
"Gilded Splinters" is one of my favorite songs in the canon. I love how TTB does it. Beck sampled it for "Loser."
According to Alan Paul's 'One Way Out,' Jackie Avery had played Duane a Jenkins demo of an Avery song. Duane's one comment. "Who's the drummer?"
ps: Eddie 9V just did a kick ass version of "Down Along the Cove," which he recorded at Capricorn last year https://youtu.be/wT7PKCp7YFQ

I’m contemplating it. The price may be too steep. Trying to make it happen.
Great stuff Dr. B
