Nevertheless...it's KILLER! I always thot Duane sang "Oh--- She's Gone" but if he did, Bobby Whitlock sang it just like him on this Johnny Cash show appearance!

Carl's on this one too:

Fast forward this video to the 4:00 mark and check out Dave Margen's solo "Runnin'".  Off of the Marathon LP and still on of my favorite solo's.

Now that's why I haven't bought a white Thunderbird. I just can't find the right boots to go with it.
