The Big Mo Blues Show was recorded last night. I’ve got a shout-out for a song I’ve heard a couple of times now in the last few weeks. It’s “Magnolia Road” by the Allman Betts Band. I have a couple of interesting observations about it. I don’t know anything really about the Allman brothers, except what I quickly read through on Wikipedia. I know that sounds incredible. But I like this song.
The song is on an album called The Allman Betts Band: Bless Your Heart. It was released in 2020. Although I’m prone to mondegreens, I can understand most of the lyrics. I wish I could find the lyrics, but I can’t find them on the web. What comes up is a song with the same title but it’s by a different artist and, which I can find lyrics for that song, it doesn’t match the lyrics I hear by the Allman Betts Band.
One of the songs with the same name is by Ben Haggard. He’s the son of Merle Haggard. The lyrics don’t match at all, of course.
I like the feeling I get from the song. It reminds me of the 1960s-1970s era, the time of outdoor rock concerts, and being laid back. The official music video gives you a sense of that.
Maybe I’ll just ask Big Mo about how to find the lyrics.
