The debut studio album by the iconic American group
The Allman Brothers Band, which was founded in
Jacksonville in 1969 and is widely regarded as the
genesis of Southern rock. It features the outstanding
original formation, including Duane & Gregg Allman,
Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe.
Both Duane Allman and Berry Oakley would die in
motorcycle accidents (in 1971 and 1972, respectively).
The LP was released in November of 1969, and was
recorded and mixed in two weeks at Atlantic Studios
in New York City. Much of its material was premiered
live over the preceding months and combines blues,
jazz and country music to varying degrees. It includes
notable originals such as “Dreams”, which highlighted
the band’s jazz influence, and “Whipping Post”, which
became a crowd favorite. The cover for the album
was taken by photographer Stephen Paley, who
spent a week in Macon partying with the band, while
taking pictures of them anywhere in town that seemed
interesting, including fields, old houses, railroad tracks,
and the cemetery. The record received critical acclaim
from publications such as Rolling Stone, where it was
described as “subtle, honest and moving”. 180-gram
