The Allman Brothers’ first album hit sent Jimmy Hall and Wet Willie straight to Macon. “We got The Allman Brothers’ first album and played it over and over. Once we got it, it was like, ‘My God, this is just an incredible sound. Listen to this singer.’ The way they wrote their songs and arranged their material was just so unique. It had rock, it had blues, it had jazz, so that became our beacon to go, ‘Okay. We should go to Macon, Georgia and we should go right now.’” Jimmy Hall 📷Sidney Smith⁠
