Randy Poe: "The Duane Allman Story" (Backbeat Books, 2006):
page 127:
As soon as he had finished the Mayhan, Lulu, and Hawkins sessions,
he was on his way to Criteria Studios in Miami to record “Pullin’” for Aretha’s next album.
page 274:
Spirit in the Dark (Atlantic) 1970—Duane can barely be heard playing acoustic guitar on “Pullin’,”
but the one other track he’s on, “When the Battle Is Over,” is a virtual guitar-fest,
featuring Allman, Eddie Hinton, and Jimmy Johnson.
