Gregg Allman Final Album Southern Blood

Southern Blood, the final studio album from The Allman Brothers Band legend Gregg Allman has been scheduled for release on 8 September 2017. The album was still in production when Allman died of liver cancer at the age of 69 on 27 May this year.

Released through Rounder Records, Southern Blood will also be available through Allman’s website GreggAllman.com. It will come in at least a half-dozen configurations, which include a standard CD and a deluxe CD with two extra tracks and a bonus DVD. In addition, there will be a limited edition first-run LP on coloured vinyl with an exclusive lithograph, and various other packages that include T-shirts and other merchandise.
