Gregg Allman admitted he wasn’t the most virtuosic player, but his Hammond B3, his voice, and songwriting added the perfect texture and tone to the band. “When you get down to it, I was, and probably still am, the least accomplished musician in the band. The other guys in the band know more than I do. They are better on their instruments and I am on the Hammond, but only if you don't count my voice as an instrument. Although I worshiped Jimmy Smith, the way I play organ is much closer to Booker T. His style kind of rubbed off on me. Because he pretty much puts the gravy on the meat, like I do in the Brothers. I just try to add texture and tone to the song. I tried to put flowing notes behind us to cut it. My brother was rarely critical of my playing, because he knew I was fragile about that sort of thing. Duane greatly respected the fact that I was a songwriter. My brother always listened closely to me. I hit a lick, you'd get the same one. I'd sing, and he backed it. I’d hit a good lick, and he'd drive it on home in a very complementary way. Nobody has done that since the day he died.”
