ong Info

The song starts with a statement of the theme, which is then followed by solos from Gregg Allman (organ), Duane Allman (guitar), and then Dickey Betts (guitar). There is then a (duet) drum break, and then a restatement of the theme, which ends on a dissonant chord that fades into a drone of organ and intermittent snare drum rolls, then growing into a powerful crescendo accentuated by the timpani playing of drummer Butch Trucks.

Trivia

*Hot 'Lanta was also the name of Duane Allman's sunburst Gibson Les Pauls.
*This was a feature song at concerts for bass player Berry Oakley until he died in a motorcycle accident in 1972.
*This song only appears on live albums. It evolved out of a jam session when Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts got the idea for the melody line.
