Gregg Allman was a renowned American musician, born on December 8, 1947 in Nashville, Tennessee. He passed away on May 27th, 2017 in Savannah, Georgia at the age of 69 due to complications from liver cancer. As the brother of Duane Allman and former husband of actress and singer Cher, Gregg's musical journey began with his brother in bands like The Escorts and The Allman Joys. After moving to California, they formed The Hour Glass under Liberty Records. However, after two psychedelic releases that didn't sit well with Duane, the band disbanded.
Tired of going solo, Gregg rejoined his brother in what would become The Allman Brothers Band as their lead vocalist. This marked a new chapter for Gregg and solidified their place in music history. With their unique blend of rock and blues influences, the band became iconic within the industry.
Gregg Allman's contributions to music will always be remembered. His passing is mourned by fans worldwide but his legacy lives on through his timeless music.

Gregg Allman's 1973 solo debut became his biggest hit, a No. 13 LP featuring his Top 20 classic "Midnight Rider." By the end of 1973, the Allman Brothers Band seemed to have it all nailed down, writes reviewer Rickey Wright. They'd proven their mettle with a fine synthesis of blues, jazz, folk, and country influences expanded upon it with the definitive Fillmore East set and moved forward after the separate losses of guitarist Duane Allman and bassist Berry Oakley. The group's myriad strengths, in fact, might've been the reason that one of their most obvious gifts # Gregg Allman's pained, growling voice # was sometimes overlooked. Laid Back, Gregg Allman's first solo disc, seems in part an effort to gain a little more recognition. It worked, particularly given the strong radio response to its opening track, a loping remake of "Midnight Rider." Likewise, much of the album's remainder finds Allman tweaking the band's blues ("Queen of Hearts") and country sides (a cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days") horns and gospelish backing vocals add to the personal, often mournful feel. Laid Back is an often convincing version of the man's music.
