From 1969, Sandlin was principally involved for several years as an executive, producer and mixer at Phil Walden’s Macon, Ga.-based Capricorn Records. Beyond his work on the Allmans’ “Brothers and Sisters” (No. 1, 1973) and “Win, Lose or Draw” (No. 5, 1975), he produced or engineered albums by the Southern rock units Cowboy, and Wet Willie and Allmans guitarist Dickie Betts.
As an independent producer in the late ‘70s, he helmed albums by Texas singer-songwriter Delbert McClinton and “Two the Hard Way,” a commercially disastrous set by the then-married Gregg Allman and Cher.

Re: RIP Johnny Sandlin
Those Delbert McClinton albums of that period sound great.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
