Greg Allman: You're No Angel, But I Loved You

[ancianita]

I hated the South for so many things. But I loved the Allman Brothers.

Greg Allman wasn't just a Southern rocker. He invented jazz rock.

Greg's and Duane's band, along with the Dead, broke open the 2.5 minute song like Walt Whitman broke open the poem structure of his day, and Greg Allman, on piano and organ, free flowed their music with improvisation.

Every time I saw them, they opened with "Jessica" -- note Greg's piano licks -- which got us into the Southern boogie mood.

In the 70's there was nothing in American rock to musically compare to the jazz long plays of the Allman Brothers.

I was so happy to here how they were doing voter registrations at their concerts for Obama.
