The Allman Brothers Band - Loan Me a Dime - Non-Album Tracks (1992-2000)

In recent days, I've been posting a bunch of Allman Brothers Band albums at my YouTube page (search for Albums That Should Exist there to find it), and that reminded me that I have more from that band to post here too. In particular, I've been posting a series of stray tracks albums that move forward chronologically through the band's entire history. Previously, I'd made it to the late 1980s. This album deals with the entire 1990s.

The Allman Brothers Band put out three studio albums in the 1990s, but I don't believe any of those have bonus tracks or the like. So most of the songs here were performed live. However, "Call It Stormy Monday" is from an unreleased in-person radio station performance. "No Life at All" is from a Floyd Miles album. And "Willie and Poor Boy" is from a solo album by band member Dickey Betts.

This band has released a lot of live albums, and it was bootlegged frequently. So I made sure everything has soundboard level quality, even if it's from a boot. The four unreleased songs are "Steady Rollin' Man," "Call It Stormy Monday," "Goin' Back to Daytona," and "Rave On."

Speaking of Dickey Betts, he was a key member of the band, singing and writing many of their best known songs. However, near the end of 2000, Betts was kicked out of the group due to personality clashes. So I made sure to end this right at that time. All the songs here contain Betts. But I plan on posting two more stray tracks albums from the years after Betts was gone.

The songs are mostly blues covers. "Loan Me a Dime" is a particularly inspired choice, because original band member Duane Allman played an epic guitar solo on a version of that song done for a Boz Scaggs album in 1969. All these years later, the rest of the Allman Brothers Band finally did a version, clearly inspired by the Boz Scaggs / Duane Allman version.

This album is 59 minutes long.
