Southern Blood

"My Only True Friend" was recorded right before his death. This final song was co-written by Scott Sharrard, the Allman Brothers Band’s longtime musical director and guitarist. The song is especially compelling, with Allman expressing that at the end of his life, the road and being on tour was indeed his "only true friend." His last album, Southern Blood is set for release on Sept. 8th. Southern Blood serves as a remarkable final testament from an artist whose contributions have truly shaped rock & roll throughout the past four decades. 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 fans.
