RIP Gregg Allman

Gregg Allman was 69 when he died, but he had been an old soul for years.  The world-weary voice was there from the Allman Brothers' earliest recordings.  On his greatest recordings, whether in the studio or even better on their live albums, you believed every hard fought word.  With that voice he was able to stretch beyond Rock into Blues, Gospel, Country, R&B.

The Allman Brothers were inducted into the Rock Hall in 1995.  Definitely the greatest Southern Rock band. The ones who set the template for groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd to expand on. Gregg's brother, the extraordinary guitarist, Duane died in 1971.
