Anyone would have given the frontman of the Allman Brothers Band a sabbatical from performing after the longstanding group called it quits last year. After all, between solo tours and work with the Brothers, Gregg Allman has been grinding it out on the road for over forty years. After recent health problems including lung surgery, a liver transplant, hepatitis C all on top of a life of booze and drugs (he’s been clean for a while now) also don’t bode well for Allman’s stamina as he pushes 70. But like the blues legends that initially influenced him, Allman keeps plugging away. And, judging from the rousing 90 minute concert he delivers on this double CD, has arguably improved with age.
Recorded at a single gig in January, 2014 in the titular city where it all started for the Allman Brothers Band four decades ago, Gregg mixes rearranged gems from his old group along with solo material, some cool soul covers and even a new song into a set that highlights his diversity and love of R&B and blues. His eight piece backing unit includes three horn players working taut arrangements that steep the material in a Memphis styled soulful grit. With only one guitarist, the sound is less rock oriented than the ABB. This helps make even warhorses like “Whipping Post,” “Statesboro Blues” and “Midnight Rider,” classics Allman has sung at almost every gig since the early 70s, seem fresh and stirring in this environment.
Oddly, Allman only reprises one selection from his newest, well received, T-Bone Burnett album of blues covers but this includes everything you would expect to hear. He revisits the Ray Charles nugget “Brightest Smile in Town,” digs into Wilson Pickett’s “I’ve Found a Love” and rocks out on “Love like Kerosene,” a recent composition written by guitarist Scott Sharrard. Allman is in inspired voice, he’s clearly having a blast leading his talented musicians and even the oldest material feels revitalized. Perhaps we could have done without the 5 minute drum and bass solo section on the closing “One Way Out,” but with son Devon Allman joining on guitar, that’s a small detriment to a scorching version.
