Ramblin' Man

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

It became the Allman Brothers Band's first and only top 10 single, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. [1] Written by Dickey Betts as a country-leaning tune the band was initially reluctant to record, it features guitarist Les Dudek's live-recorded harmony parts and was one of bassist Berry Oakley's last contributions before his death. [2] AllMusic called its chorus 'perhaps the catchiest and prettiest hook in all of Southern rock,' and Robert Christgau described the tune as 'miraculous'. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
