Severin the Wanderer:
"A desert-island disc of mine, so redolent of high school, of lying wasted out of my mind on Adam Clark's floor while the bottle of Smirnoff passed hand to hand, the night slipped unnoticed into morning and Duane Allman's incredible dobro sang "Sleep, sleep now" in all our dazzled heads. Cowboy -- Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton -- toured with the Allmans and recorded for the Allman label, Capricorn, but their music was much more countrified and less blues-influenced than Duane's. All of the Cowboy catalogue is worth owning, but I will go to my grave loving this song, and not just because of those half-formed, addled memories. The lyrics sound a chord so many of us less-than-Olympian lovers have heard within us. When you know you're unworthy of her, all you can do is sing: "Of all the better things I've heard, loving you has made the words and all the rest seem so absurd... because you can find my mind, please be with me." The trick is, that with the unerring Duane to lead us out, sometimes she says, "yes."
