Duane Allman was suspected to play on track 15.

Update March 21, 2017:
We have asked David Hood and Thom Doucette to listen to this track, and both feel that it's not Duane Allman on this track, but Eddie Hinton.

On October 20, 2006 Billy Vera told Randy Poe, author of the book 'Skydog - The Duane Allman Story' (Backbeat Books, 2006) that Duane Allman didn't play on any of the records he did with Judy Clay. He said the Muscle Shoals recordings were done with Eddie Hinton on guitar.
