About Allman Brothers
As the principal architects of Southern rock, the Allman Brothers
Band forged this new musical offshoot from elements of blues, jazz,
soul, R&B and rock and roll. Along with the Grateful Dead and Cream,
they help advance rock as a medium for improvisation. Their kind of
jamming required a level of technical virtuosity and musical literacy
that was relatively new to rock & roll, which had theretofore largely
been a song-oriented medium. The original guitarists in the Allman
Brothers Band - Duane Allman and Dickey Betts ? broke that barrier
with soaring, extended solos. Combined with organist Gregg Allman?s
gruff, soulful vocals and Hammond B3 organ, plus the forceful,
syncopated drive of a rhythm section that included two drummers, the
Allman Brothers Band were a blues-rocking powerhouse from their
beginnings in 1969.
The group?s marathon concerts, best captured on the classic The Allman
Brothers Band At Fillmore East (1971), are the stuff of rock legend.
Surviving ups and downs, including the deaths of several members, the
Allman Brothers rank among rock?s greatest performing entities.
Moreover, their success paved the way for other bands from the South,
including Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and the Charlie
Daniels Band. To date, the Allman Brothers Band have had nine gold
albums, three of which have been certified platinum (one million
copies sold): Live At Fillmore East, Eat a Peach and Brothers and
Sisters.
The group formed around the nucleus of Gregg and Duane Allman. Younger
brother Gregg initially taught and encouraged Duane to pick up the
guitar. With Duane dropping out of school in order to master the
instrument, the brothers played in bands around Daytona Beach,
Florida, as far back as 1961. They formed the Allman Joys in 1965,
combining the Southern blues and soul influences that they?d grown up
hearing with the with rocking new sounds of the British Invasion bands
(especially the Yardbirds). Evolving into the Hourglass, the brothers
and their band mates recorded a pair of albums in Los Angeles for the
Liberty label, one of which (Power of Love, 1968), foreshadowed the
sound that would fully emerge with the Allman Brothers Band.
The Allman Brothers Band evolved out of jams in Jacksonville, Florida,
involving Duane and members of the Second Coming (guitarist Dickey
Betts, bassist Berry Oakley) and the 31st of February (drummer Butch
Trucks). Another drummer, Jai Johanny Johanson (a.k.a. ?Jaimoe?), was
a veteran of the soul-music circuit, having played with Otis Redding
and others. A magical five-hour jam among the musicians at Trucks?
house cemented the union and prompted this remark from Duane Allman:
?Anybody who doesn?t want to be in my band is going to have to fight
his way out the door.? Gregg was summoned back from California, where
he was unhappily fulfilling a contractual obligation as a solo artist.
The Allman Brothers Band were officially formed in March 1969 and
signed to Phil Walden?s fledgling Capricorn label, which became the
main driving force of the Southern-rock insurgence of the Seventies.
The group?s first two studio albums - The Allman Brothers Band (1970)
and Idlewild South (1971) - contained classic songs like ?Dreams,?
?Whipping Post,? ?Midnight Rider? and ?Revival.? Both were
hard-hitting announcements of the Southern-rock sound. However, it was
in concert that the band burned brightest. Led by Duane Allman?s
searing guitar, the Allman Brothers Band?s live shows left devoted
fans in their wake. The March 1971 concerts recorded for At Fillmore
East in New York caught them at their peak. Sadly, the Allman Brothers
Band was dealt a catastrophic blow when Duane Allman was killed in a
motorcycle crash in Macon, Georgia, on October 29, 1971. A year later,
on November 11, 1972, bassist Berry Oakley died under eerily similar
circumstances only a few blocks from where Duane?s accident had
occurred.

However, the group regrouped and persevered. Duane was not
immediately replaced; instead, a second keyboardist, Chuck Leavell,
added a jazzy new dimension. Oakley was replaced by bassist Lamar
Williams. As a testimony to the Allman Brothers Band?s resilience, the
group?s most commercially successful albums came in the wake of their
tragic losses. The double album Eat a Peach (1972), which included
Duane?s last three studio performances, reached #4, and 1973?s
Brothers and Sisters was #1 for five weeks. Guitarist Dickey Betts
moved to the forefront, opening up the band?s sound with the
country-rock approach of ?Blue Sky? and ?Ramblin? Man,? and with the
lengthy instrumental pieces he composed, including ?In Memory of
Elizabeth Reed,? ?Les Bres in A Minor? and ?High Falls.? The Allman
Brothers Band?s pinnacle of popularity came on July 28, 1973, when
they performed on a bill with the Grateful Dead and The Band at the
Grand Prix Racecourse in Watkin?s Glen, New York, before 600,000 rock
fans.
In the mid-Seventies, the road got rocky again for the Allman Brothers
Band. Internal dissension and substance-abuse problems triggered a
two-year hiatus in the mid-Seventies. However, a joint appearance
between the Gregg Allman Band and the Dickey Betts Band in August 1978
led to a full-fledged reunion and the release of Enlightened Rogues in
1979. The reformed Allman Brothers Band reverted to their classic
dual-guitar lineup with the addition of Dan Toler on guitar. In 1980,
Dan?s brother, Frankie Toler, would replace Jaimoe on drums. This
lineup moved from Capricorn to Arista Records, where they released the
albums Reach for the Sky and Brothers of the Road.
The Allman Brothers Band disbanded again in 1982. In 1989, the box set
Dreams was released, and the group reunited again for what turned out
to be one of the most productive chapters in its storied history. The
addition of guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody
revitalized the band, leading to some of the strongest playing that
had been heard since the days of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. In
fact, the most stable lineup in the Allman Brothers Band?s history
crystallized in 1991 as a septet comprising Gregg Allman, Dickey
Betts, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Warren Haynes, Allen Woody and
percussionist Marc Quinones. Haynes came closer than any other player
who passed through their ranks to capturing Duane Allman?s passion and
technique. The Allman Brothers Band released two of the most inspired
studio albums of their entire career - Shades of Two Worlds and Where
It All Begins ? in the early Nineties. This lineup?s six-year run
ended with the departure of Haynes and Woody, who devoted themselves
full-time to their band Gov?t Mule.
In 1999, the Allman Brothers Band celebrated their 30th anniversary
with an 18-night stand at New York?s Beacon Theatre. To this day, they
remain an incendiary performing unit for whom (to quote a line from
?Midnight Rider?) ?the road goes on forever.?
