JamBase partner Osiris Media’s The Tapes Archive podcast shared a previously unheard 1992 interview with then The Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes. Conducted by Guitar Magazine’s Pete Prown, the interview touches on Duane Allman, Warren’s influences, advice for young guitar players as well as the ABB’s current album at the time, An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: First Set.
Prown jumps right into the interview by saying “I think everybody’s starting to wake up and recognize your playing. Everybody seems to be talking about Warren these days. Seems like people…finally recognize you as a fine player in your own right…Are you relieved to [be] moving out of Duane’s shadow?”
“Yeah, I guess so,” Haynes replies. “I mean, as far as onstage and musically, I never really felt that much of it anyway, more from the way people on the outside look at it.”
“Do you get tired of the comparisons?” Prown asks.
“Not usually…the Allman Brothers fans are really fair about it and really genuine. They figure, as much respect as they have for Duane Allman, they figure anybody that was chosen to kinda take his place, they should have respect for that person too. But I get the occasional, ‘how’s it feel to play Duane’s licks…which I just say for the most part, ‘I’m not really playing Duane’s licks,’” Warren adds. “Some of the slide stuff I have to kinda keep it close to home, cause that’s the way it’s meant to be, to keep the beauty of the song and music intact.”
Warren also speaks about his influences, especially that of Motown and said that early on he wasn’t “into rock ‘n’ roll music, so to speak.” Prown and Haynes also discuss Warren’s experience playing with outlaw country artist David Allen Coe as well as advice for young guitar players (the beginning of the video features a clip from Mike Gordon’s guitar student/teacher-themed 2001 film, Outside Out, starring Col. Bruce Hampton). They also talk about recording live, as the band had a live album out at the time, with Haynes remarking that ABB told renowned sound engineer Tom Dowd, “don’t let us know what nights you tape (laughs).” Additionally Prown and Haynes talk shop on Warren’s gear and Haynes gives his take on the similarities between ABB and the Grateful Dead.
