Slater Nalley “Soulshine” American Idol
“Soulshine” is a song written by American musician Warren Haynes and originally recorded by Larry McCray on his 1993 album, Delta Hurricane. It is best known as a recording that The Allman Brothers Band released on their 1994 album, Where It All Begins, featuring Gregg Allman on vocals. The song’s title originates from Haynes’s nickname, given by his father.
Although the Allmans’ version was never released as a single, it remained one of their best known songs among fans and concert-goers. A live version of the song, which appeared on the Allmans’ 2003 DVD, Live at the Beacon Theatre, had Allman and Haynes alternating vocals on the verses and harmonizing on the chorus, and includes a slide solo from Derek Trucks, as Dickey Betts was no longer with the band. This has become the standard for the song in most recent years with dual vocals.
When Haynes and bassist Allen Woody formed Gov’t Mule, they took the song with them. Gov’t Mule performs “Soulshine” live at their concerts and it was included on the band’s Live… With a Little Help from Our Friends, The Deep End, Volume 1, and The Deepest End, Live in Concert releases.
The song inspired the Soulshine_(benefit_concert) which Haynes and Dave Matthews Band hosted at Madison Square Garden on November 24, 2024 to assist relief and recovery efforts in North Carolina and Florida following Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
