Gregg Allman’s Final Studio Album Out In September

Rounder Records have announced that they’ll release Gregg Allman’s final album titled Southern Blood on September 8.

The Southern Rock pioneer died on May 27 after suffering poor health – but he’d continued to work on the record over the past few years.

Manager Michael Lehman says: “Gregg was very excited to be in the studio. He was especially thrilled to be recording this studio album with his solo band – he was so proud of them and loved the sound that they produced together. Gregg felt close to every single one of them."

“The Gregg Allman Band was like a family or a well-oiled machine, always knowing what the other band members were thinking and doing. They enabled him to realise a sound that he’d been hearing in his head for decades but was previously unable to achieve.”

Southern Blood features one original song and tracks recorded by artists including Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Jerry Garcia and Willie Dixon.

Producer Don Was says: “I was dedicated to helping Gregg crystallise his vision for the record and to help make sure that this vision made it to the tape."
