From Duane Allman Website;

August 21, 1967: Recording session for Taj Mahal's first album 'Taj Mahal'. Jesse Ed Davis plays electric slide guitar on 'Statesboro Blues'.

"I had never really played bottleneck before that," Davis explained in Guitar Player, "and so for that recording I just put a steel tube on my finger and worked up a line. I just played it in regular tuning. I didn’t know about open tunings until I saw Muddy Waters play at the Whisky in Los Angeles some time after that.

(Steven Rosen: 'Jesse Ed Davis', Guitar Player magazine, March 1974)

1968; Taj Mahal's first album is released. (NOTE) (DETAILS)
Jesse Ed Davis plays electric slide guitar on 'Statesboro Blues'.

In 1970 The Allman Brothers Band recorded "Statesboro Blues" during the recording sessions for their "Idlewild South" album, but that track was not released until 1989 on the "Dreams" box set.
They recorded a live version of the song in March 1971 for their "At Fillmore East" album.


Yes now, wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve drive Papa Taj from your door?

Woke up in the morning, baby, I had them Statesboro Blues
Statesboro, Georgia that is
Woke up this morning had them Statesboro Blues
I looked over in the corner, grandma baby had 'em too

Mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild
I ain't good lookin' baby but I'm someone's sweet angel-child
Goin' to the country, baby do you want to go
I know if you can't make it, your sister Lucille said she want to go

You know I love that woman better than any woman I've ever seen
Yes, I love that woman better than any woman I've ever seen
She treat me like a king
I treat her like she, she was a dog gone queen

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve drive Papa Taj from your door?
