Andrew Wild Allman Brothers Band On Track Book

In 1973, the Allman Brothers Band were one of the most popular in America. They headlined the Watkins Glen Summer Jam – attended by 600,000 people –  and their album Brothers and Sisters was number one for five weeks. The group made the cover of Newsweek and Rolling Stone named them ‘band of the year’.

Their legacy of eleven studio albums and six contemporaneous live albums include classics such as their self-titled debut, the sophomore Idlewild South, the definitive live document At Fillmore East and the astounding final album Hittin’ The Note from 2003.

The music of the Allman Brothers is the pure distillation of the four main ingredients of American music: blues, rock, jazz and country. At their best, they transcended genre: they just were.
