The Allman Brothers
The story of the Allman Brothers Band is one of triumph, tragedy, redemption,
dissolution, and a new redemption. Over nearly 30 years, they've gone
from being America's single most influential band to a has-been group
trading on past glories, to reach the 21st century as one of the most
respected rock acts of their era.
For the first half of the 1970s, the Allman Brothers Band was the most
influential rock group in America, redefining rock music and its boundaries.
The band's mix of blues, country, jazz, and even classical influences,
and their powerful, extended on-stage jamming, altered the standards of
concert performance. They gave it all a distinctly Southern voice and,
in the process, opened the way for a wave of '70s rock acts from south
of the Mason-Dixon Line, including the Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
and Blackfoot, whose music, at least initially, celebrated their roots.
The Allman Brothers Ban remains a top concert attraction 25-plus years
after their last historically important album, easily drawing more than
20,000 fans at a time to outdoor venues, or booking 2,000-seat theaters
for three weeks at a time. Their back catalog, especially the first five
albums, remain consistent sellers on compact disc and recently returned
to the reconstituted Capricorn label, under a 1997 licensing agreement
that has resulted in their third round of digital remastering.
Apart from their Arista releases, the Allman Brothers Band has remained
remarkably consistent, altering their music only gradually over 30 years.
They sound more country than they did in their early days, and they're
a bit more varied in the vocal department, but they have still been soaring
at their concerts and on most of their records over the last ten-plus
years. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
