	Gregg Allman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregory Lenoir Allman (born December 8, 1947 in Nashville, Tennessee), known as Gregg Allman (sometimes spelled Greg Allman), is a rock and blues singer, keyboard player, and songwriter, best known as a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band and as one of the greatest white blues singers ever.
		Gregg quickly grew miserable with this arrangement, and when Duane called from Jacksonville, Florida in March 1969 to say that he had assembled a band that needed a singer, Gregg jumped at the opportunity.
		Gregg Allman was married to singer/actress Cher from 1975 to 1979, a relationship that gave Gregg more general celebrity than he ever had as a musician.

	The Allman Brothers Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Allman Brothers Band is a pioneering and innovative Southern rock and blues group from Macon, Georgia originally popular in the 1970s, described by Rolling Stone's George Kimball in 1971 as "the best damn rock and roll band this country has produced in the past five years" [1].
		Duane Allman, with a stint as a session guitarist in Muscle Shoals, Alabama behind him, started jamming with Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks and Berry Oakley in Jacksonville, Fla. Duane brought in Jaimoe, a drummer he had played with before and the nucleus of the band was formed.
		Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts both began solo careers, while Allman married Cher, separated quickly, reconciled, and eventually separated again, all in a storm of publicity; drug abuse took its toll on the entire band.

		Gregg has said he suffers from terrible stagefright even at this stage of his career and that it always takes him the first song to get over it.
		I'd never heard Gregg perform this tune; if you had never heard it even on record, his sincerity and passion had to knock you back, a blues singer singing about survival from the very depths of his soul, over the backdrop of a gospel organ and a crying guitar.
		To close may I say that Gregg Allman is unfortunately known to the majority of the public as someone who deserves more notoriety for his substance abuse than his talent.

		Allman's instrument is the organ, and he is most effective, when he is in top form, as a singer.
		Where Gregg did excel was on the organ and as a singer (a role Duane was never comfortable with), which proved important but not at the center of a group that became famous for its 40-minute instrumental jams and three-hour sets.
		It was during the period that Brothers and Sisters was burning up the charts that Gregg Allman emerged as a solo artist with his first album, the critically well-received hit Laid Back, which put the softer, more serious, soul- and gospel-tinged side of his work in sharper focus.

	Gregg Allman - Laid Back
		Gregg seems content to concentrate on vocals; organ is heard on only a few cuts and mostly as fill, rather than lead instrument.
		One of Browne's songs was used on the first Hourglass album (Gregg recorded the song before Jackson did) and on Jackson's LP the credit line reads, "Arrangement inspired by Gregg Allman." Gregg does full justice to the quietly hurting lyrics, double-tracking the vocal over a sad steel guitar.
		Gregg adds the weight of his own special shades of sorrow; someone described his vocal quality as "resigned." Add eternally aching, and you've got it.

	The Allman Brothers Band
		The Allman Brothers story is inescapably about the cultural forces at work in the American South in the post World War II era, the churning emotional climate responsible for the "New South" that emerged in the early '70s and culminated in Jimmy Carter's presidency.
		The Allman Brothers not only created Southern rock, but also, by virtue of the harmonic inventions of Allman/Betts and the creativity of the rhythm section, anticipated the direction American jazz was moving toward at the same time.
		Meanwhile the Allman Joys were touring the roadhouse circuit, travelling from gig to gig in a broken-down station wagon and establishing a reputation as a fierce live band.

	The Allman Brothers
		Within a couple of years the Allmans were a major chart success, and had established their reputation with fine concert performances that are captured on several live albums.
		However, Gregg was already writing plenty of good tunes and singing up a storm, and Duane was a first-class guitarist despite not yet having mastered the slide and playing with the same dull disortion effects on track after track ("Going Nowhere").
		Gregg Allman had (briefly) married Cher, so this is a duet album co-produced by Allman and Sandlin and featuring Willie Weeks (bass), Bill Stewart (drums), Jim Horn (horns), Bobbye Hall (percussion), Clydie King, Vanetta Fields, and Tim Schmit (vocals), and many others.

		Gregg Allman vocals on all 13 tracks and appears with a core band of Bill Stewart on drums, David Hood on bass, and Jack Pearson on dobro, slide and Acoustic guitars.
		Gregg grinds his way through a really solid mix of originals and covers, blues-rock with a touch of soul, and he is in fine form, laying down plenty of excellent vocal performances which are underlined by the fine, clear production.
		Gregg is occationally augumented by a horn section which makes "Searching For Simplicity" sound a little less Allman Brothers-like than it would have otherwise done, and he is backed by a slew of really good musicians which include (at various times) guitarists Scott Boyer, Jack Pearson and current Allman Brothers slide slinger Derek Trucks.

		When I was handed this new Gregg Allman album I dealt with it the only way I deemed proper: I dove headfirst into a big bag o' weed and cranked the mother.
		Given all that history, I still have to say that I think of the present day Gregg Allman the same way I think of post-addition Clapton, or Garcia after discovering MIDI -- it's all very competent and fluid, with miles of heart and soul, but without edge.
		The definitive version of Allman's "Whippin' Post," found on Live at Ludlow Garage, cuts me to the quick every time I hear it, but the reworking of it here is slickly limp and unnecessary.

		Many consider Gregg Allman's most significant contribution to rock's historical record is his role as the lead singer, organist, and principle songwriter for the Allman Brothers, the archetypal southern band founded by his older brother Duane in 1969.
		But it was because of these very strengths that one of the band's most obvious gifts--Gregg Allman's languid blues pacing and mournful growl--was often overshadowed by the crack musicianship of the tightly knit band.
		Allman's solo work gave him the recognition that he so sorely deserved.

		Though every big and not-so-big name from the Seventies seems to be hitting the comeback trail these days, Gregg Allman would seem a particularly unlikely candidate.
		On his first solo album in a decade, Allman has, for the most part, wisely stuck to what he always did best: bluesy songs of yearning and sorrow and arrangements that center on his soulful growl and Hammond B-3 organ.
		The generally restrained production by Rodney Mills (best known for his work behind the boards with 38 Special) lets Allman and his solid five-piece band do their stuff on the stronger songs, six of them written or co-written by Allman.
