I've had the honor of sitting in with the Allmans at their Beacon shows a couple of times, and it just doesn't get better than that.
I've been a huge Gregg Allman fan since first hearing the Brothers' live 'Fillmore' album.
If there's anybody who knew how to play in a studio, it was Duane Allman.
Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy.
Duane Allman was the best guitar player I ever heard who didn't read a note.
The Allman Brothers were definitely the group that opened up the door for the Southern groups.
After we did the last Allman Brothers Band show, my wife and I just packed up and went to France for pretty much all of 2015, and I just got bored; I got the itch. I wanna play.
The thing with Berry and Duane and the rest of us in the original Allman Brothers seemed to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing. When Duane was killed, we knew we lost a great part of that, but we still managed to play some great music.
One indisputable fact is that whatever has happened to, and with, the Allman Brothers Band, we've persevered.
Anytime I'm playing music or getting ready to record, Duane Allman will enter my thoughts, and so will Berry Oakley. It's part of my musical makeup and mental process when it comes to music. We learned to play together and taught each other a lot.
Duane Allman might be my favorite guitar player ever. I'd say I'm influenced by the Allman Brothers more than any other band. When I taught guitar lessons for a living, the students that were interested in soloing had to learn the intro to 'It's Not My Cross to Bear' first thing.
I don't have to do Gregg Allman songs.
When we started the Allman Brothers Band, there was this great new technology that allowed us to get exposure: FM radio.
