Gregg Allman, Amanda Shires


The legendary living Allman Brother has enjoyed a long-overdue canonization during the last few years, with a revealing autobiography, My Cross to Bear, released in 2012, and as the subject of a star-studded January 2014 tribute show at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre (that concert has since been released as an album and movie, All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman).
