“Revival” by Allman Brothers Band

"Revival", sometimes billed as "Revival (Love Is Everywhere)", was the lead single from Idlewild South, the Allman Brothers Band's second album on Capricorn, and the first song guitarist Dickey Betts ever got a writing credit for in the group. Betts, who tended to write his tunes as instrumentals first, built this one that way too, started singing along, and let the words arrive as an afterthought.

Gregg Allman sings lead and plays organ and piano, Berry Oakley holds down the bass, and Jai Johanny Johanson and Butch Trucks double up on drums and percussion. Duane Allman takes the acoustic guitar, since his studio years had taught him how to make one sound right, and adds slide on top. Tom Dowd produced and engineered. It became the band's first song to chart, sneaking in at number 92 on the Hot 100 early in 1971.
