Remembering Allen Woody (1955-2000)

Douglas Allen Woody (October 3, 1955 – August 26, 2000) was an American bass guitarist best known for his eight-year tenure in the Allman Brothers Band and as a co-founder of Gov't Mule. 

In addition to helping revitalize the Allman Brothers during the late '80s, bassist Allen Woody helped co-form one of the '90s finest southern-retro rock acts, Gov't Mule. Born Douglas Allen Woody on October 2, 1956 in Nashville, Tennessee, Woody picked up both the mandolin and bass guitar at a very young age. Inspired by such bassists as Mountain's Felix Pappalardi, Cream's Jack Bruce, and Hot Tuna's Jack Casady, Woody began playing in local bands, and eventually majored in music at Middle Tennessee State University. It was through a job as a salesman at Nashville's famed Gruhn Guitar Store that Woody became friendly with several renowned musicians passing through the area, which led to an invite to join the Artimus Pyle Band (led by the ex-drummer of Lynyrd Skynyrd). Through his association with the Pyle Band, Woody became friendly with Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band, who suggested that he try out for the group, who were in the process of reforming during the late '80s. Woody got the gig, as he toured and appeared on such releases as 1990's Seven Turns, 1991's Shades of Two Worlds, 1992's Evening With the Allman Brothers Band: First Set, 1994's Where It All Begins, and 1995's Evening With the Allman Brothers Band: 2nd Set. It was during his Allman association that Woody befriended fellow bandmate/guitarist Warren Haynes, which led to talk between the two of forming a side band - specializing in blues-based heavy rock (a la Mountain, Cream, Led Zeppelin, etc.). With drummer Matt Abts signed on as well, the trio took the name Gov't Mule, and issued their self-titled debut in 1995. But what was originally thought to be a side band soon took on a life of its own, and both Woody and Haynes handed in their resignations to the Allmans. Gov't Mule continued to solidify their standing as one of the U.S.' top blues-based hard rock acts, with such further releases as 1996's Live at Roseland Ballroom, 1998's Dose, 1999's Live with a Little Help from Our Friends, and 2000's Life Before Insanity. But just a few months after Gov't Mule's latest studio offering, Woody was found dead on Saturday, August 26th, 2000, in his hotel suite at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Queens, New York. After his passing, a fund was set up for Woody's young daughter, The Savannah Woody Educational Fund, while the surviving members of Gov't Mule decided to carry on. The group's next release, The Deep End: Vol. 1, including several different renowned bassists filling in for their late friend, while Woody himself made a posthumous appearance on a previously unreleased cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "Sin's a Good Man's Brother." In addition to his work with the Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule, Woody also guested on a few recordings by other artists, including Little Milton's Welcome to Little Milton and Kevn Kinney's Flower & the Knife. 

 Rising Low is Mike Gordon's second feature film – a documentary based on the life and death of Gov't Mule bassist Allen Woody and the making of a double-disc tribute album featuring a host of legendary bass players. Throughout the film, Gordon interviews Woody's family and bandmates and also discusses the philosophy and technique of bass playing with a number of the instrument's legends, including Chris Squire, Les Claypool, John Entwistle, Flea, Bootsy Collins, Mike Watt, Roger Glover and others.

VA - Midnight Rider : Tribute to the Allman Brothers Band [2014/FLAC]

 

Featuring an eclectic group of rock, country, and blues legends, Midnight Rider - A Tribute To The Allman Brothers Band offers energetic new covers of the classic hits “Midnight Rider,” “Ramblin’ Man,” and “Whipping Post” as well as one of the most famous instrumental songs in all of rock music “Jessica,” alongside many more Southern fried favorites!

“The Allman Brothers were a central part of my roots,” proclaims guitarist Steve Morse, who shreds his way through a smoldering version of “Whipping Post” on the album. “Living in Georgia much of my life, they were the local legends that everybody loved. They had the swing, the inventive double guitar parts, the ability to jam just long enough to keep the audience, and that golden voice of Greg’s! When my instrumental rock band, the Dixie Dregs, played, we often played ‘Jessica,’ which automatically makes any audience start moving and smiling. I’ve been lucky enough to sit in with many of the members at various times, and we have shared a lot of common ground. I’m still a fan!”
