Ton-Ton Macoute! was originally intended as a Duane Allman solo album, before Allman departed to form The Allman Brothers.[citation needed] 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.[3]
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".[1]
