Before they were the Allman Brothers Band, the duo and their previous group cut a trippy instrumental version of the Beatles classic
, the Beatles took all sorts of risks — from introducing their fans to the sitar to sneaking in a lyric about the married John Lennon having an affair. The Allmans went out on something of a limb themselves when they cut this version.emerged from two Southern bands, one of them featuring both the brothers.
, both newly available by way of the Allman Brothers Band Recording Company. Certainly, little in the Allmans’ catalog approaches the outright weirdness of their take on “Norwegian Wood,” from. To blatantly copy the Beatles’ version, Duane plays an electric sitar, but the band turns the song into a vampy instrumental; instead of hearing Gregg’s voice sing, “I sat on a rug biding my time/Drinking her wine/We talked until two, and then she said, ‘It’s time for bed,'” we hear an organ solo.
Around the two-minute mark, things get just a little bit weird. The band strays off the melody, the keyboards momentarily lose their way, and Duane starts noodling around on the sitar fretboard. The song is over before you know it, but that moment is alone worth hearing — it’s a small taste, the tiniest of appetizers, of the improvisatory side that would fully blossom the following year with the start of the Allman Brothers Band.
