Ronnie Hawkins (feat. Duane Allman) "Down In The Alley"


The description below, is from the individual, who posted the video.  Dave Bingham.

Recorded at Muscle Shoals Studio in 1970. This was the result of a deal Ronnie managed with Atlantic Records! He talked them into distributing his own personal label "Hawk" Records. For the sessions he took along 2 members of his own band, Scott Cushnie ( Piano ) & King Biscuit Boy ( Richard Newell ) on Harmonica. Producers Jerry Wexler & Tom Dowd brought along a youg guitarist named Duane Allman, whom they had worked with previously on some John Hammond Jr. sessions. Along with the "Muscle Shoals 4", Barry Beckett - piano, Jimmy Johnson - guitar, David Hood - bass & Roger Hawkins - drums & special guest Eddie Hinton on 2nd guitar; these guys helped Ronnie put together one of the best albums of his career. Only his original Roulette recordings and earlier efforts with future members of "The Band" can compare. And what a treat to have Duane, Scotty & The Biscuit together on one Recording!!!
