This song honors Greg Allman, and all the great Southern musicians who left us too soon. It contains 19 BB and RB tracks including two drummers, as befitting an Allmans tribute.

Rebel on the Run

GDEm Sing those nights in the country
GDEm sing that warm summer breeze
GDEm sing the great land of Dixie
CEmD and the sons of the South

GDEm They buy it on the highway
GDEm They buy it in the air
GDEm I guess we all must go some day
CEmD it just doesn't seem fair

GCAmD Rebel on the run, you've got to have your fun
GCAmDG Rebel on the run, will you still be with us when the morning come

GDEm First he took Duane and Berry
GDEm it was hard to understand
GDEm now he's come for little brother
CEmD he must have a hell of a band

GDEm Just when we seem to get things started
GDEm We're facing still another test
GDEm The biggest guns are soon departed
CEmD we always seem to lose the best

GCAmD Rebel on the run, you've only just begun
GCAmDG Rebel on the run, I know you love it, you've got to have your fun

GDEm You're gonna hear a big noise
GDEm I cannot tell you when
GDEm but save your Confederate money boys
CEmD the South is gonna rise again

GCAmD Rebel on the run, always second to none
GCAmDG Rebel on the run, no hesitation, you know who's number one

GCAmD Rebel on the run, you've got to have your fun
GCAmDG Rebel on the run, will you still be with us when the morning come

This is really catchy rocking song, very clear mix. It has some nice Irish rock vibe in it.

That's an interesting observation Janne, since bluegrass is derived from Irish music, and all Southern rock is influenced by bluegrass.
I imagined this as a tribute performance by a stage full of musicians, and the RB soloists do a commendable job filling that stage. One of the solo guitars is mine, the simplest one.

Hi Will.

A really cool song with a great arrangement.

I can tell a lot of work went into this one and it's certainly paid dividends.

So much going on in the backing and yet the mix is still clear and powerful.

One of your best.

ROG.

Thanks Rog, the mix would not have been possible without automation and a lot of listening. My Sennheiser HD6 Mix headphones were a big help in making sure instruments pop out of the mix.

As someone else mentioned - man, is this ever catchy! I like the hint of Irish vibes added to this southern rock sound; it makes it stand out a lot more. And you can never go wrong mixing with Sennheisers! I use the exact same model headphones when I'm mixing as well.

Thanks for sharing, Will!

Catchy! I really like the placement of instruments and vocals...AND totally love the background vocals!

I think you made those who have passed on proud with this song! Great job!

I am from Daytona, same as the Allman's, and I had dinner once with Duane and Berry, so the lyrics are personal and heartfelt.

Thanks so much Joe, that means a lot.
A friend of mine who is a retired record executive said he thought this was my "best yet" (he hasn't heard very many, it's certainly not my best) and suggested changing the lyric "got to have your fun". I won't do that, I picked that line before I rhymed it with "rebel on the run". The whole point was that so many southern musicians died having too much fun, on motorcycles for instance. I guess I feel a little guilty not following his advice, but the choice of words was not random.

This song was always about honoring the southern musicians who died too soon, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Tommy Caldwell and Ronnie VanZandt. I've changed the lyrics to honor the greatest of them all, Tom Petty.
