Allman Brothers Band, The - Blue Sky Lyrics

Takes me back to a time when life was simple.. And people cared about each other. Drinking beer and watching the river rool by

3 mins of guitar solo dripping with sweetness.
The song the "outer skin" is beautiful but tucked inside it (the solos) is an even sweeter nectar that overflows literally.

Greatest freakin guitar solo ever.

Nice listening, nice long song 2019.

2019 Stil at it Go Bros

I am still loving them 50 years after I first heard them. That is proof of a great, great band.

Brother Duane and Allman Brothers interrupt soulful music
Steely Dan is vanilla

BEAUTIFUL

Very good.

Both Dickey and Duane each played one of their best solos on this one. On real late 50s Les Pauls. It's a privilege to hear once, let alone thousands of times like me.

i was brought here from this guy up in New Hope PN, thanks mickey :D

Great to have grown up with these guys. Makes me happy for us and for those who follow us.

masterpiece

I'll keep an eye on it Jimmy.Yknow you really should Tommy.Because you never know when the juicell sneak up on youse.Ive got a dozen young palookas ready to beat your ass to a pulp for 500 at your regular stops.

2019 1968 2078 no matter what year or generation good music is good music

This Song never gets old .

Most beautiful guitar solo between Gregg Allmann and Dickie Betts ever recorded

Who could hate this? You'd have to be dead inside.

the big house... if you get a chance to go...GO

If had to choose one song as my all time favorite this would be it! It is the ringtone that plays on my phone when my wife is calling because she is my Blue Sky!

I remember hearing this on a friends reel to reel turned up to 10 ! Never head anything quite like it again, after all these years it still brings wonder !

Remember when this came out lying in the sunshine on the grass with a transistor radio.

One of my favorite songs of all time always get a good feeling from this song can't explain it it's so good

No fire ants back then .

If there were, I was so lost in this song, I didn't notice.

Seven bridges seven rivers!!!!
😎😎😎😎

If I had to pick on word to describe this song; Joy.

Sometimes I “think” when I listen to songs. I’m 42 so I missed all this stuff when it came out, but as about a 10 year old I gravitated to THE DOORS AND ITS grown from there. I’ve heard this song many times, but I just HEARD it for real tonight. The opening, solo and closing...wow.

Tune in
Turn on
Drop out

I used to play this every Sunday morning at a bar in turtle lake WI for my good buddy Larry "the dude " Burger. Great times. RIP my friend.

Duane never gets the recognition for his rhythm guitar here. It's always about his solo.

💖😇

Toward the end of Dickey’s solo (around 3:24), sounds like a beautiful southern dance. Have always loved it.

Just cool as all hell!

I absolutely love the music of The Allman Brothers.

Were you at the ATL show in 1994 @ Lakewood? It was raining (of course), but when this song began, the rain stopped, and there was a rainbow right across the sky on top of the lawn section. Half hour later when the song ended, the rain started right back up. Everyone was checking with their neighbors on the lawn to make sure it wasn't imaginary.

Skydog's last recording with the band, makes my eyes leak just remembering :-(

Me too.

This song is perfect!

The ultimate feel good song. Dickey Betts' voice is the epitome of joy. Seriously, listen to "Let Nature Sing" and this. Southern rock was something special and it still is in what's left. Solos that lift you up, lyrics that resonate with the common man, and real artists not puppets of the industry.

Just beautiful

This was one of my husbands favorite songs....... Rest in peace my love.....

OK if you are reading this raise a beverage and toast the best musical decade ever! I air guitared thousands of songs including this and I bet you did too. Cheers

My anthem in college. Still have the vinyl edition. Closest thing to a spiritual experience I know.

I love the sunshine blues skies rivers and country roads that roll on through the woods on a soft still late spring day...ya who!! thank ya Lord thank ya Jesus!

In college, me and one of my roommates played guitar and were always learning songs. One day I come home and he plays this solo in guitar. I was an Allman Brothers fan for life.

My foreman said he appreciated me and he liked the way I did certain things.How fucking cool is that?I do what he lines me out on.Hell after 50 years on the planet,I better be worth my weight in salt.I ain't one of them that's like a brand new person everyday.I listen, Watch and pay attention.If my foreman ain't jumping knee-deep in my ass,it's a good day

Go home Yankee! How can y’all give this thumbs Dow?

2 fabulous guitarists similar yet different and they played so well together... pointless to compare for the purpose of declaring one the best. DB wrote so many ABB great songs and Duane flavored them with a twist :) I happen to favor Duane slightly, his phrasing ... so many little surprises. Together, even better. Thanks clay33 for posting

Nothing like a little Blue Sky on a rainy, dreary Sunday morning...

Allman Fan thanks to the great taste of my Mother. What a band. What a sound. Long Live The Southern Sound created by Gregg and Duane.

TRULY A SWEET SONG DURING TURBULENT TIMES......

One of my most favorite songs of all time listen just listen off you go thank you Dickie and Duane

That instrumental tho!

if you get a chance, go to macon ga. and see the big house

Absolute perfection.

At 81 and this gets me rockin, I hope you can all do the same YAHOO!

Southern rock, it’s so beautiful 😍

This is not Glen 😂 this is Randy Ledford . please relax and turn on a green light

Go green

🥰💙💙💙💙❤❤❤💖💖💖

I was hitching through western Virginia decades ago and a very weird looking guy in a beat up Ford pickup gave me a lift. “Where ya headed?” “Tennessee” “ Well I ain’t goin’ that far, but I’ll take you as far as this album lasts”. Good old 8 tracks. Awesome song. Still one of my favorites.

Perfect tune. Even more perfect on a sunny day, under a skyblue sky in the woods, on shrooms....

Dickey Betts still alive

First heard it in my dorm room in 1972. Some of the finest guitar work anywhere by anyone. Absolutely seamless.

What a masterpiece (I’m tipsy as I write this)

Saw them in 1973. The guitar was unforgettable!

If it gets better than this call me. BR 549 ;)

Allman Brothers kick some ass! I remember listening to their greatest hits tape on my way to college each semester on those long highways between Syracuse and Ohio. Good memories.

There is no Skynyrd, only Allmans.

I remember hearing this song for the first time on my dads old vinyl.. life changing..

Best song ever/yes/no

Yep, you were my blue sky... but nope, I guess not.

One more song before I go to bed, this is that song. a great cruising song, or a great finishing song for the day.
Got to see the band a time or two, did not get to see Duane,

This is as good as it gets

The most uplifting song of all time.

Yes indeed!

Driving drunk down the high way

Blasting the allmam brothers

Get a grip dude....you know better.

Oh my god
Does it get any better than this
You are my blue sky
Love you

Someone just called this mediocre in the comments good Lord man they blazed the trail.
This is such a bright song.
This song will make you fall in love

'Eat a Peach'....yum☺️

The music speaks for itself I could be wrong on this from my understanding and what I've read but don't believe everything that you read this was Duane last recording with Dickie in the studio?

Pretty mediocre considering the millions they spent on cocaine for inspiration.

What's your excuse for mediocrity?

@Robert Friel I'm an excellent critic.

I wish I could play like that I can play a little bit but no where near that good

You oopo

Very nice.....😊

this has always made my spirit soar. to all the ones i love and have passed!!! funny feeling so peaceful !!!dicky can play!!

often imitated, never duplicated

Every time I hear this since 1972 it brings a tear to my eye.

I wore out my 8 track, my vinyl and my cassette listing to this. Thank God we have CD's The album was the best though. I could just stair at the inside of that album cover forever.

This is my favorite all time song

This song makes me cry lol

just got home from the "big house" where dickey wrote this song to his wife.... spiritrual , the song played at my wedding 40 years still married

Eat a peach brothers

Lord you know I like being high and listening to this , guit fiddle masterpiece

To my Angela Dawn I love you and your my sunny day

Looking back at the times of the deaths of Duane Allman and Barry Oakley and I wonder if their crashes really were just an accident or was it the good ol' boy network that just didn't like the hippies and deliberately crashed into their motorcycles. The Allman Brothers Band were a very popular southern band at that time.

Used to listen too this song every morning. Going too start listening again every morning. Wish everyone a wonderful blue sky.

Duane allman rip... always be part of this incredible music and this country girls 💟🐎

Let us ALL remember ladies & gentlemen that this is SOUTHERN ROCK MUSIC.

OH HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!😀😁🙃💚🤸‍♀️

Best ever Cruising southern rock music..

This resets my brain and body like smelling coffee beans reset your nose. 👃
...or Bacon. 🥓
Or bacon in coffee beans. 🐽

think about how blessed we are to have this music,this band...best sound ever"Allman Brothers" chill and reflect on life and get high in a sober kind of way...✌ out..!

So right one of the best songs every listen and know greatness

Zit! Squeeze tarantula? TT/1047440

I was almost exactly 1 1/2 when this came out, and when i was 21 it was still fresh and heavily played on the radio, like it had just come out.

What effing music we had back then. UT Austin campus, Fall, 1970. Baseball field, I think: Allman Brothers, Leon Russell, Pacific Gas & Electric, It's A Beautiful Day.
