The Allman Brothers Band

🤘🤘🤘🤘Hello everyone, and welcome to another Let's Talk Music blog. I am your Metal Momma, Lisa Owens, and this will be episode 2 of our music review vlogs. Today we are going to discuss the Allman Brothers. The Allman Brothers Band was a true Southern Rock experience, live or recorded; they were unmistakably what Southern Rock was. Founded in 1969 by Duane and Gregg Allman, the band would unknowingly create happy listeners for decades. Sadly, Duane's time with the band would be short-lived due to his tragic death. The band suffered the loss of Duane Allman in a motorcycle accident in 1971, and the question then was: will the band continue on? That would be a question that would come up throughout the years for the band. Like most good bands, they had a lot of issues—drugs, egos, and just your basic financial woes of keeping a band going. With Duane gone, the Allman Brothers were down to Greg as a founding member. Could the band continue on and achieve great fandom even though Duane was gone?  The different style of Allman Brothers music made it hard to get radio play, but with the continued live shows they held, you would never know that they did not get much radio play. In 1973, Richard "Dickey" Betts sang the lead single for the band's fourth studio album, "Brothers and Sisters." The song Ramblin Man was a hit on the radio, and that got the ball rolling. Ramblin Man would chart that same year at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band had a jazzy, bluesy, country rock swing, and the radio stations didn't really have a category to play them in.  Southern Rock would prove to be a withstanding phenomenon, overcoming social divisions, war, and economic hardships. People still wanted to get out and listen to the music. I encourage you to check out the music catalog of The Allman Brothers and also the solo albums done by Gregg Allman and Richard "Dickey" Betts.  The band had a very lengthy run all together, performing until 2014. I myself have several songs that I love to listen to: Soulshine, Midnight Rider, and Whipping Post, just to name a few.  I am thankful that the band continued on after the sad loss of Duane, and I think he would be proud that his band achieved greatness and decades of support from the fans. I want to thank you for dropping in today. I am your Metal Momma, Lisa Owens. Rock on!!!🤘🤘
