The Allman Brothers Band Midnight Rider Lyrics Information:
"MIDNIGHT RIDER" 1
Written by: Gregg Allman & Robert Payne
Produced by: Tom Dowd
Performed by: The Allman Brothers Band 23
First released 4 :
Single: None (See note 1)
Album: 1970
1 "Midnight Rider" was never released as a single by The Allman
Brothers Band, but it charted four times in subsequent recordings
one of which was Gregg Allman's "re-imagined" version on his first
solo album, Laid Back, that featured the addition of horns and a
solo rather than harmony vocal line. It reached #19 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in early 1974. In the original version (1970)
Gregg Allman sings a powerful harmony to his own soulful melody.
The melody howls on certain lines, and jumps to an unforgettable
falsetto on the harmony for the hook line "and I've got one more
silver dollar."
