"One Way Out" is an old blues that both Sonny Boy Williamson II and Elmore James put on tape in the early 1960s, and the Allman Brothers Band caught it live in 1971 and gave it a fresh coat of road dust for Eat a Peach in 1972. The credits reach back to Elmore James, Marshall E. Sehorn and Sonny Boy Williamson, but this version belongs to the band that arranged it.

Duane Allman's slide guitar snarls and struts, Dickey Betts answers him lick for lick, Gregg Allman sings it with a grin and fills in on organ and electric piano, and Berry Oakley's bass rolls under the double-drum thunder of Jai Johanny Johanson and Butch Trucks. Tom Dowd produced, and the whole thing swings like a barroom door.
