Guy walks into the barracks, tosses a couple of albums on my bunk and it is a benchmark moment. You’ve heard it before, probably too many times, but it happened. The albums? The Allman Brothers Band‘s first album and Steve Young‘s Rock Salt & Nails. Both lodged themselves permanently in my collection and in my heart. Young’s was to take awhile but the Allmans’ was immediate. From the first note of Don’t Want You No More, I was hooked. Desert island time. Hall of Fame.
