| In Loving Memory Howard Duane Allman (11/20/46 - 10/29/71) |
| Allman was one of the greatest rock guitarists & master of the slide guitar. A founding member of The Allman Brothers Band, he also had a major role on the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, by Derek and the Dominos. His nickname was "Skydog" |
| Formed in 1968, in Macon, Ga., the Allman Brothers are one of those rare bands that not only created but--to this day--continue to define an entire genre. Based around the fluid, inspired guitar work of Duane Allman (who on 1/29/71 died from a motorcycle accident at the age of 24) and the soulful Southern drawl of his brother Gregg, the six-member group blended elements of soul, blues, rock, country--and even bits of jazz--fashioning a unique style marked by twin guitar leads and long, meandering improvisations. The Allman Brothers were the flagship band and laid the groundwork for a generation of Southern Rock artists. The Allman Brothers were also one of the first groups (along with the Grateful Dead) to feature two drummers. |
