Gregg Allman with "These Days" featuring Scott Sharrard from Skyville Live

Experience a soulful and poignant performance of the classic "These Days" by the legendary Gregg Allman, featuring his longtime musical director and guitarist, Scott Sharrard. Recorded on December 11, 2015, in Nashville, Tennessee, this performance was a highlight of the "Salute to Gregg Allman" episode for the Skyville Live concert series. Captured in an intimate studio setting in front of a live audience, the session brought together an incredible lineup of musicians to celebrate Allman's towering legacy. In this rendition, Gregg’s world-weary, iconic vocals find a perfect companion in Sharrard’s sensitive and blues-infused guitar work. The Performance By late 2015, Gregg Allman’s solo band—led by Scott Sharrard—had become one of the tightest units in live music. The Interplay: Watch for the deep musical connection between Gregg and Scott. Sharrard, who would go on to be a key architect of Gregg’s final studio masterpiece Southern Blood, provides a delicate, melodic framework that lets the emotional weight of the lyrics take center stage. The Atmosphere: Skyville Live is renowned for its high-definition production and "nightclub" intimacy, making this one of the most visually and sonically pristine documents of Gregg’s later career. About the Song: "These Days" While many fans associate "These Days" with the Allman Brothers Band’s 1973 album Laid Back, the song has a fascinating history. Jackson Browne: The song was written by a 16-year-old Jackson Browne. Gregg Allman’s slower, more melancholic arrangement in 1973 famously moved the songwriter so much that Browne began performing it in Allman’s style. A Life’s Journey: Over the decades, the song became a centerpiece of Gregg’s live repertoire. Its themes of reflection, regret, and perseverance took on deeper meaning as Allman progressed through his storied life and career. About the Artist Gregg Allman (1947–2017) was a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band and one of the most influential figures in Southern rock and blues. His "blue-eyed soul" voice and Hammond B3 organ playing defined a genre, while his solo work allowed him to explore the deeper, more introspective corners of rhythm and blues.
