Gregg Allman died Saturday at 69. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Allman Brothers Band - my parents took me to see them in concert the mid-1990s in Memphis and I was more impressed with the Allman-offshoot group Government Mule that opened for them - but they were extremely talented musically and "Jessica" (which I loved in concert) and "Melissa" certainly deserve note for being better than the overplayed "Ramblin' Man." Gregg was a survivor and his song "These Days" illustrates that with the closing line "Please don't confront me with my failures/ I'm aware of it." Here he is performing it with Graham Nash.
