To my ears, “Southern Blood” is the purest expression Gregg Allman ever captured of who he was as a Southern musician — not as a member of the Allman Brothers Band, but as an individual, his own man, one who was a remarkable alchemist of the musical roots of our region.

this album is incredibly haunting. Reading this article makes the last 3 shows I saw of the ABB that much more special. The man knew he was going to die and still went on stage and slayed it every night!

If Allman wouldn't have croaked they should have Â

signed him to play offensive line. At 70 something, after years of drug and alcohol abuse, and a liver transplant, he would have been our best lineman hands down.
