RIP Barry Beckett

By coincidence, all of the tracks I've posted recently from the first Boz Scaggs album that featured Duane Allman also have Barry Beckett on them. In a way it's not really a coincidence: all of the songs were recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where Beckett worked most of his life. Also recorded there, and also featuring the keyboard work of Barry Beckett are "Still Crazy After All These Years" and "Slow Train," eponymous tracks from albums by Paul Simon and Bob Dylan respectively. Just to round it out, here's a new link to Boz Scaggs' "Finding Her" as well as "Loan Me a Dime" from the same album.
