• “One Way Out” was originally written and recorded by Mississippi blues great Elmore James, best known for songs such as “Dust My Broom” and “Shake Your Money Maker.” James is also known as a major influence on a generation of rockers including Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck, as well as the Allman Brothers Band.
• The Allmans covered “One Way Out” in their live shows, recording their best-known version of it in 1971 at the same shows that produced the At Fillmore East live album.
• The rendition of “One Way Out” that appears on Eat A Peach is a relatively short 4:58. Like most of their repertoire, the group could stretch the song, and the live 1973 version that appears on the Dreams box set lasts nearly eight minutes.
• The Eat A Peach double album combined leftover tracks from the At Fillmore East shows with some new studio tracks, including favorites such as “Melissa” and “Blue Sky.”
• Eat A Peach reached Number Four on the Billboard 200 and has sold well over a million copies.
• Eat A Peach was also the group’s last album with guitarist and founder Duane Allman. He died in a motorcycle accident on October 29th, 1971, after the studio sessions for the album were completed.

FAST FORWARD:

• Bassist Berry Oakley also died in a motorcycle accident, on November 11th, 1972.
• The Allmans split up in 1976, reunited from 1978 to 1981, and reunited again in 1989, and are still together.
