They're a Blues Rock band to me, and no other "Southern Rock" band had a sound that was even close. I think of Southern Rock as a particular style/sound. To me, it sounds like .38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker, Black Oak Arkansas, and the Kings of the genre - Lynryd Skynyrd. I dislike pretty much all of that stuff. It's just not a sound that appeals to me. ABB, though, are most definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. I would place them in the same Blues Rock genre with Paul Butterfield, Peter Green, Yardbirds, Johnny Winter, Canned Heat, etc. In fact, if a legitimate argument can be made that ABB is more closely related to Skynyrd than John Mayall, I'll just piss in my hat, turn over the tables and, then, go quietly.
hmmm.... I shall ruminate upon your theory. interesting.

Now, Southern rock is not one of my fav genres (I don't even like the Allman Brothers! ) and there was a lot of crap produced as well, but the same could be said of any genre. Oh and BTW, T he Allman Brothers most certainly are Southern Rock, to call them anything else would be a misclassification. I have now descended from the soap box and am blending back into the crowd.

Mine too. Not only did they invent it, the original incarnation of the band recorded the stuff that is still head & shoulders above anything anyone else has ever done in that genre.

About a year and a couple weeks later, Oakley would meet the same fate, dying in a motorcycle accident at the same crossroads of Inverness and Bartlett Avenue in Macon. What a peculiar story and fitting photo to go with it! Thanks, I'll use a translation for my weblog. I also read that Berry Oakley was buried beside Duane Allman.

Duane's slide guitar and the indescribably awesome music the ABB made were a huge part of my musical youth. I remember visiting The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland in '04 and seeing two of his guitars in a glass case. It was the moment of that trip for me and literally brought tears to my eyes. RIP Duane.
