Ton-Ton Macoute!

Ton-Ton Macoute! is the 1970 debut solo album of American blues musician Johnny Jenkins. Jenkins had previously led The Pinetoppers, a band that once featured Otis Redding. Jenkins then appeared on two Redding albums, playing guitar, before releasing his solo debut. Ton-Ton Macoute! was originally intended as a Duane Allman solo album before Allman departed to form The Allman Brothers Band. Most of the guitar tracks were played by Allman, with Jenkins later supplying the vocal tracks. In addition to Duane Allman, the album also features three other founding members of the Allman Brothers: Berry Oakley, Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks. Ton-Ton Macoute! is a blend of blues rock and Southern rock. It notably included covers of Dr. John's "I Walk on Guilded Splinters", Bob Dylan's "Down Along the Cove", and J.D. Loudermilk's "Bad News".
