Hittin' the Note #54 is yet another strong issue, containing all the
in-depth, exclusive features that you have come to expect. We
kick things off with a retrospective look at the Allman Brothers
Band, who, after 37 years, are returning back to Atlanta's
fabled Piedmont Park, where the ABB first build its legendary
status with epic free shows in 1969 and '70. We also have
a great interview with ABB/Gov't Mule guitarist Warren
Haynes, the hardest-working man on the music scene; a feature
on the up-and-coming John Butler Trio; a conversation with Cody
Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars; a commemoration
of Stax Records' 50th anniversary, and an HTN exclusive
preview of the new book about the musical history of Macon,
Georgia, entitled Soul Shakers, Street Singers, and Rebels with
a Cause: Music from Macon. In addition, our "Photo Session"
section features a pictorial spread on the Allman Brothers Band
playing Piedmont Park back in the day. We are very proud of
this issue, and hope that you enjoy reading it as much as we
enjoyed putting it together, because, after all, music matters.

| Hittin' the Note is proud to announce a new festival right here in our
home state of Georgia, along the banks of the Chattahoochee
River in South Fulton County. The Echo Project features such
HTN favorites as Phil Lesh, Tea Leaf Green, moe. and Perpetual
Groove, plus many more outstanding artists! In addition to the
killer music, one thing that sets this festival apart from others
is the intense devotion to doing things in an environmentally
sensitive manner. We're not just talking about setting
up recycling bins; Atlanta's hometown river, the terribly
polluted Chattahoochee, will be cleaned up in a massive project,
held in conjunction with local non-profit Rivers Alive. Much
of the power for the festival will be generated by alternative
energy sources, and the organizers have left no stone unturned
in their quest to reduce the environmental impact of this event.
In a world where everybody talks about the environment, the
Echo Project is actually doing something, and we commend their
efforts! To find out more click

Last year Hittin' the Note was honored to help sponsor a wonderful
New Year's Eve show at the Fox with The Derek Trucks Band and
the Susan Tedeschi Band. Susan and Derek's bands played separate
sets, then after the big midnight countdown Susan joined the
DTB for a series of soulful tunes that were in the pocket and
on the money.
The lucky folks in the audience that night got a preview of
the Soul Stew Revival tour that electrified audiences all over
the US this summer. This exciting new project features all the
members of The Derek Trucks Band, Susan Tedeschi, Derek's
younger brother Duane Trucks on second drum kit and Ron Holloway
from Susan's band on sax, playing their own brand of blues,
soul, and beyond.
Well, this New Year's Eve the Soul Stew Revival makes its official
debut at the Fabulous Fox Theater with another holiday show
that is sure to be a very special event. There will be a Ticketmaster
pre-sale through www.hittinthenote.com
on Sept. 9th, with some of the best seats in the house going
to the best fans on Earth. Check out the home page of the website
for details as the pre-sale draws near. |
| Fall is right
around the corner, which means it is time for the annual gathering
of the brothers and sisters known as GABBAfest! The Georgia
Allman Brothers Band Association has been holding this event
