  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Capricorn Records
During the 1970s, Phil Walden's Capricorn Records made Macon a haven for southern music, specifically for a genre known as "southern rock." Capricorn's successes and failures can be directly attributed to the relationship between Phil Walden and the members of the Allman Brothers Band, particularly Duane Allman.
Capricorn's successes and failures were tied closely to the Allman Brothers Band, which was dramatically and negatively affected by the accidental motorcycle deaths of Duane Allman in 1971 and bassist Berry Oakley in 1972.
Capricorn rejoined Warner Records and in 1991 released the first album by Widespread Panic, a band from Athens.
