SOUTHERN BLOOD serves as a remarkable final testament from an artist whose contributions have truly shaped rock & roll throughout the past four decades. Gregg Allman's first all-new recording since 2011's GRAMMY® Award-nominated solo landmark, LOW COUNTRY BLUES, the album is among the most uniquely personal of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer's career, an emotionally expansive collection of songs written by friends and favorite artists including Jackson Browne, Willie Dixon, Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter, Lowell George and Spooner Oldham & Dan Penn, meant to serve as a salutary farewell to his legion of devoted fans and admirers. Allman collaborated on his closing project with manager and dear friend Michael Lehman and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Don Was, a longtime acquaintance and staunch supporter committed to helping the rock icon actualize his very specific aspirations.
About GREGG ALLMAN:
Gregg Allman was undoubtedly among rock and roll's greatest and most significant artists, his soul-fired and still utterly distinctive voice one of the defining sounds in all of American music. From his founding role in the one and only Allman Brothers Band to his long and storied solo career, Allman consistently proved himself to be an iconic singer/songwriter and exceptional practitioner of the American blues tradition. Allman accrued a remarkable list of honors over his five decade career, including the ABB's 1995 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award at the 54th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Allman detailed his brilliant career in 2012's acclaimed memoir, My Cross To Bear. Now available in both hardcover and paperback, the New York Times bestseller chronicles an astonishing life and creative journey burdened by unimaginable loss, alcohol and drug addiction, told with clear-eyed wisdom and sharp hindsight.
There will never be another voice like Gregg Allman's or another band like the Allmans. I miss seeing them both. I think I always will......
Yes !!! I was watching something or read it.. But when Gregg's voice kinda breaks..when he says.. stopped singing in the middle of his song.. he was thinking of his brother..
I know 😞 I miss his voice, his laugh, & that Smile..the only thing that gives any comfort is I know he's with his Brother.. Mom.. Dad.. And All his Buddy's.. And Dontcha know there's a Great Big Jam Session A Goin On.. ❣️
@@allieneyates5070That is a true story.
another beautiful song written by Jackson Browne and interpreted so emotionally by Greg Allman
GregG Allman... Jesus Christ

Gregg was such a beautiful soul his music will be listened to forever ❤
So True.
My friends would come over sometime while I was working on my vw's and ask me, you still listening to the Allman Brothers, and I would replie, yes what else is there..
I feel bad for the people that gave this a thumbs down. They must be lacking in something. This helps cure whatever I'm lacking in a way I can't explain.
WORDD !!!!!!!!!!
Well said Phil....I am also a Crowley from Canada but live in China.
I think the "thumbs down" folks were mostly comparing it to Jackson Browne's original. I love them both.
It's ok I guess for them to give their opinion as bad as it was But I sent them to bed anyway.
Because they are evil fuckwit scum, bereft of humanity and jealous of what others love.
One of the prettiest songs I've ever heard.. it seems like Greg choked up a bit towards the end of this song. I'd read where he spoke of big brother Duane on a daily basis.. . Greg & Jackson did this beautifully... You are eternally young , eternally a master at singing , songwriting and eternally with us. You were loved ,Greg Allman.. Now ,be with your big brother and mama..
🙏❤️🥺
Awww he never finished that verse!!!! 💔❤️🙌 beautiful song beautiful version!
I absolutely love this song. I listen and think too much, but I cannot avoid this song.
He couldn’t finish the last line. They did a few takes, and Don Was said he got choked up every time because it reminded him so much of Duane. He missed his brother every day for the rest of his life.
Every time I hear it I tear up thinking about about my younger brother, I didnt know what he was going through til it was too late.
Idk wtf, I keep coming back to this video for some reason. Messes me up every time I watch it -
@ Rowdy Dean Me too! I have watched this video & listened to this song, too many times to count. I never tire of this hauntingly gorgeous song. 🎶🎵🎶💜💜
Me too, I had a brother named Adam that jumped...
Messes me up
Go back to the year this song came out and determine what year that was and then figure out where you were at in your life. That will give you the answer as to why you keep coming back to this video. It worked for me...different song though.
I first listened to JB’s version 40 years ago and it made me sad, dunno why. But after watching Greg’s video 5 years ago it made me sadder, but I keep coming back and listen
That was painful when we lost Gregg last year it's nothing but silence now
Thank you Gregg, for the gift of Southern Blood. Its beautiful and it touches me all the way to the the deepest place in my soul. Rest easy brother❤
It truly does.
Lisa Wilson Me too!💗🎶🎵🎶
Amen to that My Friends... I listen 2 it EVERYDAY ❤️.. LOV It..
Dont forget Jackson bacKing him on vocals
One of his last and best tracks. Rest easy, Mr Allman. Your music is your legacy.
Jackson Browne is such a wordsmith. Gregg sings it so well. It’s beautiful.
"Never Forget" Gregg Allman , "Never Forget".
REMEMBER DUANE "and GREGG ALLMAN was carved into a huge rock alongside a country road in TN after Skydog was taken.
And all the Adam's in this old world.
Now I'm getting old sick but I'll count my blessings today that I heard this song and I'll continue to search for diamonds and gold like this! I may cry it's a healing process I guess
I was there Greg, July 1978, Central Park reunion concert. Best Allman Brothers performance of my life time. At the end of the show no one would leave. The concert promoters came over the speakers begging the folks to enjoy the moment, go home and tell all your friends what you witnessed tonight.
I didn’t know about that show but I bet you had a great time!
That note write after "he stopped singing in the middle of his song" gets my eyes wet every single time.
Found out recently that my road partner of the 70's passed away a couple of years ago. We hadn't seen each other in almost 40 years but it didn't make the pain any less. Rest easy Ronnie.
Missing you every day, Gregg. Thanks for everything brother!
Thank you for being one of the soundtracks to me and my brothers lives way back when. Still can't believe you are gone along with my brothers.
amen Hayley.
All my brothers are gone too
Folks it don’t get no better than this! No one could sing the blues with the power and strength of Gregg Allman. I heard him many times live and he only got better as he got older. His legacy with the Allman Bros. And on his on years later only prove to me that God said to the angels in Heaven I am gonna give them folks a true blues singer! Thank you Lord and thank you Gregg Allman. You may be gone but your voice and music will live forever where the blues are played! RIP.
This song is what defines the era of the times... vs today. Long live the music this man brought to our ears.
Even Heaven is improved by his presence. Thank you Gregory.
Damn, I can't listen without tearing up. I was fortunate to have seen Gregg in 2013 and again in 2016 at the Laid Back Festival/Red Rocks. His music got me through some tough times in 2013. What a gift he left us all.
Yep, still some rough times here as well (most lingering from 2013). Great that his music (and others) can act as a medicine of sorts. Peace and strength to you.
cheezehead, i'm glad you can appreciate the gift that Gregg gave us!! So many are still mired in their grief. Yes, sometimes we'll tear up and sometimes we'll smile.
cheezhead Z .. Red Rocks is so beautiful.. I use to live in Colorado. I seen Bonnie Raitt there.
i tear up every single time.....
@@kathypatterson272 Me too!💗😢
I could watch and listen to this all night. Such a beautiful song! Thank you Gregg and Jackson!!
Absolutely!!
I can't listen to it just once, always gotta be at least twice
Adam lives. Thank you beautiful Greg.
This was recorded less than a year before he died. There is a portion Gregg couldn’t sing as he was so choked up with emotion about Duane. You can hear Gregg choke singing “the middle of his song” and didn’t finish that verse. Y’all need to know he was very terminally ill with cancer and still recorded the album “Southern Blood”!! It’s full of songs that meant so much to him. It was released in September 2017 after Gregg passed away in May the same year. Shame on y’all for any thumbs down. This is part of an article from JamBandNews that explains:
The deeply emotional "Song For Adam" was written and features background vocals by longtime Allman friend Jackson Browne. So moved by the last verse of the song as it
reminded him of his brother Duane, Gregg's voice broke to the point where he was unable
to finish it. He left the studio that day saying he'd come back to re-cut it another time.
Unfortunately, that day never came and producer Don Was decided to put the song on
the album unfinished. It's the final track on SOUTHERN BLOOD, and ends the already
powerful proceedings on a very poignant and human note.
My first hero. I cut my teeth to "laid back" and "brothers and sisters" nothing will ever take the place in my heart and soul this music fills. A hard goodbye to hear but I loved every second. RIP Gregg. U left a helluva legacy and it'll never burn out
Such a great song and great video. I ran into Gregg at a dive bar in Daytona in the late 80's...saw him at Peabody Theatre in Daytona a few years ago. I cant believe how much it hurts to know he's gone....but now he is back with Duane. His music will live forever. Rest in Peace Gregg.
I was touched when I heard this by Jackson when I was I high school in the 70's. Admit I cried when I heard Gregg's version 45 years later
Thank you for another memory. This brings tears to my eyes...you are dearly missed brother.
They will never be another one like Gregg and all the Allmans play on forever!!!
still cannot get this song without crying
RIP Gregg. Thanks for the memories Brother see ya soon
Beautiful. And for those that don't know, the blond man in this is Zach Chance, one-half of the fabulous Americana duo Jamestown Revival. His singing and songwriting are every bit as sublime as his glorious face. :)
Is the Guy who wrote Love like Gasoline? He looks like the brunette Guy,
your comment caused me to view some jamestown revival videos. you are right, good stuff.
It is so sad when Gregg sings the line "Still it seems that he stopped singing in the middle of his song", he broke down and couldn't finish the verse. Jackson Brown did the low harmonies on this beautiful rendition...
This song has me today. RIP Brother Gregg.
So many of us lived through all these years when this music came out. We were blessed... Today's music has a gigantic hole in it missing what we took for granted back then...
This song goes into your soul along with your ears
and then runs down your cheeks.
This song is on the album Southern Blood the very last album Gregg recorded. He didn't live to hear the finished album. He choked up on this song The album is basically about his life So very heartbreaking. RIP Gregg. Your music will live on forever.
What a beautiful song!!
Missing you. you sing me to sleep every night. You will ROCK ON IN MY HEART & SOUL. RIP GREGG ALLMAN...
Its been said that music should make you feel something. Mr Browne & Mr Allman, you did it magnificently. (Wiping away tears).
Such a great song. I miss Gregg. Every time I hear this song it unfortunately remains me he is gone. I’m still glad he recorded it.
What a beautiful song Greg your missed brother
RIP Gregg. This is a beautiful video.
2003Cpayne no
Jerry Hyatt - "no" what?
Oh Gregory, absolutely stunning, you're voice just amazes me, left me crying, in a very emotional state I am, hope to see you on the other side. So buy,buy for now xoxoxoxoxoxoxoect.
Gregg Allman,a legend.r.i.p.
I´m haunted by the music of your soul. I can´t hardly think this might be the end
Wow, that is pure heart pouring out of greg. Greg is royalty and very missed.
I miss you Gregory Lenoir Allman.
Dripping with meaning - laughing with our backs up against the wall - cuts to the band Seven Turns - fantastic!
This song is so beautiful sung by Gregg and Jackson!! It gets to my heart, every time I hear Gregg choked up. Rest Easy Brother Gregg. Thx for all your music 🎶♥️
It's nice to see Gregg at what I'm assuming was his real home, doing what he probably actually did... Watchin old vids of the band from back in the day. You're dearly missed, Brother. 🙏❤️
Thanks Gregg for all the wonderful music and memories.....you are miss brother. Rest in peace.....
Happy Birthday Gregg! You'll always be missed, but remembered!
I would like to see a movie with these two actors and this song and the rest Of Gregs music.
Gregg Allman and Jackson Browne. Yeah. Jackson was the only performer asked to sing on this album. They had been friends since they were really young and rooming together. Over the years Gregg recorded 4 of Jackson's songs including this one. Gregg included "Adam's Song" in memory of his brother Duane who at age 24 did not die from suicide but from a motorcycle accident. "It seemed that he stopped his singing in the middle of his song" ( Duane was a musical genius just like Lowell George).When Gregg recorded "These days" it gave Jackson, the songwriter, a whole new way of thinking about his own song, so he said. "Song for Adam", written by Jackson Browne and sung by Gregg Allman with Jackson Browne.
lowell george threw it all away.
had a ton of chances.
Duane didn't and flew away early.
Stargazer I enjoy reading this comment. Thanks for sharing
If you listen close, you can hear Gregg start crying at the line, "still it seems he stopped singing in the middle of his song". I still get teary eyed hearing it.
Curtis Flynn - to me still hard to believe it was his end and he was fading fast he got through the sessions with the loving help from his friends eg Bobby Miller 🍄
Bill Petrell we've all got our demons - poor form to low rate the dead - a rare club of geniuses in music entertainment survived
Your final gift was a beautiful gift. Rest easy brother.
Love this old jackson browne song
This Is The MOST HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL SONG I'VE EVER HEARD..And Gregg Puts such FEELING In it... Written by Jackson Browne.. Gregg & Jackson have been life long Friends ..
This song really gets to me, especially today on the anniversary of my father-in-law's passing. It's been 11 years but it seems like it was yesterday. Beautiful song.
Beautiful man Beautiful
Southern Blood-Brother! ….the road goes on forever.
gregg sat behind me in algabra senior year seabreeze high school 1965 great guy.
I love this song. And this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Real good job of a cover
First time I saw Allman's was with the Dead Fillmore 1970 Gregg was 21 I was 20 ! Left the Fillmore sun was coming up .........
H D's slide and Gregory's throat complimentary tone will always be a great listen
I love this song, so much! Yet, I cry every single time that I listen to the words. Greg never got over the death of his brother, Duane, which is what this song is all about. As my Brother turned 69 years old this year,(he's almost 11 years older than myself), I can't bear the thought of him leaving me, in my lifetime. True love for a sibling, never stops.😢💜💜🎶🎵🎶
@ Brooklyn Funkproject On Greggory Allman's last album, Southern Blood, he recorded this song with his focus on Duane. He became very chocked up, and couldn't finish part of the song. This information is included inside the CD. I realize that Jackson Browne wrote the song. Check it out, as I have no reason to write something that is untrue.
Speechless. Soothing Bravado. Voice and músic of Gregg Allman. Respect.
How can 35 people not like this video and song?
Happy 70th BDay , Greg Allman !!!
Amazing Vocalist & Songwriter Georgia ❤️You & Miss You RIH , Greg Allman 🌹🌹🌹
This is one of my favorite songs, especially this version by Gregg Allman. I keep coming back to this moving video year after year. As a person fighting fucking cancer like Gregg did, it makes my heart happy looking back and feeling happy. I know we can't stay in the past forever, but I sure appreciate the warm feelings that the past brings and learn to appreciate the little things, like this video. Hope that Gregg has reunited with his brother in heaven or wherever it is that we go from here.
Tears
Forever will be missed! True southern play there music all the time.
Happy Birthday Greg, you may be gone from here but never forgotten.
Beautiful and thank you Greg and Jackson.
So missed & never forgotten... God Bless Gregg, & all your family. Thanks for taking me back to the Island.
GREAT!! RIP Gregg.....crying now.
Happy 70th Gregg!
Even tho Jackson Browne wrote this great song. He and Jackson had a nice connection. Two great hearts and great musicians. I truly love them both.❤😢
I am an old Man of 64 Years, Time is running out, i still had so much to do, someday. The someday is here , the time is no more.Live your life, don`t be stupid as me, really to do what you enjoy, in the end we where all the same. Thank you Allman`s for the fine Music.
If no one has read the story of this album and the story of how when Greg was singing this song he broke down in the historic recording sessions thinking about his long lost brother, King Duane.
I'm almost 67 and I grew up with the Allman Brothers Doobie Brothers and brothers that I worked with in the music industry and the brothers that I was surfing with growing up but I've never heard this song what a tragedy!
This is incredibly beautiful 🙌
My Dear Sweet Friend. I miss you so. You are the best Blues singer, songwriter, Friend and Love. PEACE AND BLESSINGS WOUNDED HEART 💔💔💔💔💔
Losing his father at such a tender age.Only to suffer more from losing brother Duane.The world hurt with brother Gregg,through his gift to us all.
Don Was, the producer, said Gregg broke down recording this song. It always reminded him of his brother Duane. He couldn't finish the recording. So they left it. Jackson Browne came in and did some additional work but I don't hear his voice. RIP Gregg. You are missed and loved still.
Jacksons right there singing with him on a lot of the song.
yep he's running the harmonies mate
I hear Jackson on the chorus, second time around. I guess just having Jackson around would be comfort. He's good at that.
I hadn’t planned on weeping today. What a beautiful song… 😢
Gregg💙Duane
This song is just beautiful, if your lucky to go through life and have that friend, enjoy their company. I love getting on my bike and just riding, 99% I'm by myself. But if you stop for a break n that other person pulls up along side you for a break maybe take a ride together and see where you end up. My motorcycle reminds me of all the freedoms we have. Let's not take them for granted and enjoy life and each other. God Bless you Greg for putting this song in my life. Ride On.
Beautiful cover of a beautiful song.
Good to hear this, a wonderful melody.
Southern Blood is an emotional treasure trove.
Thank you!
RIP Duane and Gregg.✝️ ✝️ We miss you and your music 🎶🎵.
You know Gregg would've given it all back to have Duane back. I can't imagine the pain, and heartache he experienced on a daily basis... Well, maybe I can. Having buried my daughter 6 yrs, 9 months and 21 days ago, I know pain and heartache well. 🥺
Awesome. Happy birthday, Gregg.
The BEST!!!
We miss you, Gregg.
Canzone per chi si sente libero come il vento come lo era GREGG consapevole che la vita prima o poi ti chiede il conto...
Beautiful.
Pure Southern Rock!
I have yet to thank the persons that helped Gregg in the making of his last gift...we both know who you are...🍄🍑💙✌️🤘💫♾
