Holy fucking kek

Start with their live album "At Fillmore East", to get the quintessential experience. "Idlewild South", "Eat a Peach" and "Brothers and Sisters" are top tier albums as well.

So long, Gregg. Thanks for the music.

Saw them at the Beacon a few years ago...Wasnt really a fan just went cuz a friend had an extra ticket and cuz why not. could not believe how good they were. Gregg was like a living legend and his singing so powerfully soulful.

>>73037127
for a white boy he sure could sing the blues.

but prolly would have been a dentist were it not for his brother.

>>73037127

dropping...like flies.

so much of the movie Almost Famous was about Gregg and the Allman Brothers Band. Cameron Crowe has a lot of cool things to say about being on tour with them.

Why is this not a sticky?

Idlewild South [Atco, 1970]

Anybody who can comp for Aretha Franklin and ghost as the fifth Domino is obviously on his way to titanhood. One guitarist never made an album, though, and this is a lot more than brother Duane's showcase. Backup guitarist Dickey Betts puts in two songs of inspiration--"Revival" shoulda been a hit--and Berry Oakley's bright "Hoochie Coochie Man" is a relief from the one-dimensional moan of the real leader of this band: little brother Gregg, whose "Midnight Rider" puts me in a forgiving mood anyway. B+

Live at the Fillmore East [Capricorn, 1971]

Four sides comprising seven titles--only two of them repeated (ad infinitum) from the band's studio albums--and they sure do boogie. But even if Duane Allman plus Dickey Betts does equal Jerry Garcia, the Dead know roads are for getting somewhere. That is, Garcia (not to bring in John Coltrane) always takes you someplace unexpected on a long solo. I guess the appeal here is the inevitability of it all. B-

Eat a Peach [Capricorn, 1972]

Side three is a magnificent testament. It opens with Gregg doing Sonny Boy Williamson justice, wrenches through some of the most formally intense accompaniment Duane ever played, skips into a high-spirited Dickey Betts tune, and provides a coda for a whole sensibility in one two-minute acoustic duet. Side one sandwiches two subordinary Greggeries around an instrumental excursion that sounds like Dickey OD-ing on Live/Dead. And sides two and four comprise thirty-four minutes with an all-too-relaxing theme by Donovan Leitch. I know the pace of living is slow down there, but this verges on the comatose. And all the tape in the world isn't going to bring Duane back. B

Brothers and Sisters [Capricorn, 1973]

Simplicity can be a virtue--the nice thing about the Allmans is that when they put two five-year-olds on the cover we know it's not some "decadent" joke. Gregg Allman is a predictable singer who never has an unpredictable lyric to work with anyway, and the jams do roll on, but at their best--"Ramblin' Man," a miraculous revitalization of rock's earliest conceit--they just may be the best, and on this album Dickey Betts's melodious spirituality provides unity and renewal. A-

Win, Lose or Draw [Capricorn, 1975]

I've been telling cynics that the Brothers haven't broken up. Now I feel like maybe I was taken. C

The Road Goes On Forever [Capricorn, 1975]

Not all of it is great as those who crave it all believe. But given how poorly the Brothers' live extrapolations fare without their spectacular visuals, this seventeen-cut, two-record compilation is the one to own if one is all you need. A-

Farewell Gregg ;____;
