Whipping Post A

🎸 Whipping Post

The Allman Brothers Band · 1969

Genre: Southern Rock / Blues Rock

A raw, anguished howl of betrayal, as the singer—tied to a metaphorical whipping post by a woman who's run him into the ground—cries out in near-suicidal torment. Built on an unusual 11/8 opening riff and a slow-burning intensity, its epic live incarnation on At Fillmore East became one of the defining performances in Southern rock. _{The runes align with the drum track of the song}
