It was rock and roll and it had soul and it was blues and it was real — and in the South, the Allman Brothers belonged to everyone who heard them. "The Allman Brothers music was anthemic in the South at that time. It was this hybrid that seemed to belong to us. It was rock and roll and it had soul and it was blues and it was real. In hindsight, I had seen the past, present and the future of the blues, and it was good."
