Likely, many people who were around when the Allman Brothers Band were first booking tour
dates likely didn't anticipate their legendary and long-lasting success. It wasn't that they didn't have the talent-they
did-it was that they had situations working against them that would have doomed a lesser group. In the end, they came out
stronger and even more legendary.
The history of the Allman Brothers Band dates back to the late 1960s when brothers Duane and Gregg Allman founded the band
with a few other members. They caught the world's attention with their mix of rock, country, jazz and other influences, and
soon they were off and running. They have weathered many ups and downs since then, but their music remains a constant.
The Allman Brothers Band released their self-titled debut album in 1969. Throughout the 1970s, they were regulars on the
charts with songs like "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," "One Way Out," "Ramblin' Man," "Crazy Love" and many more. Even now,
those songs are best enjoyed live in concert
at one of the Allman Brothers Band's tour dates.
