Warren Haynes on Allen Woody and the Allman Brothers reunion: ⁠"We tried to bring that spirit back. I think Woody deserves a lot more credit than he got, because the bass player’s role is more understated in most bands. ⁠But Berry Oakley was such an aggressive bass player, so unique, that when they lost Oakley, having just gotten over the loss of Duane, that was such a huge loss for those guys that a lot of people thought they’d never get it back. But they were gaining momentum from a fan base standpoint, and they had some great bass players through the years. Lamar Williams was a really great bass player too, but he didn’t play in that style that Oakley did. ⁠Until they hired Woody, nobody ever did. He brought a lot of that fire back in, and deserves a lot of the credit." Allen Woody
