Seven Turns was the Allman Brothers’ 1990 comeback, blending their classic sound with contemporary blues-rock and a new lineup that included Warren Haynes: “When they decided to reform the Allman Brothers they brought me in not just as a guitar player but a songwriter and singer. They let me sing from the very beginning, which was really nice. But to be included in the songwriting process was a very special thing. I know it was very important to those guys to make a record that harkened back to the original band, so that was a big part of the mission, although at that time the whole jam band thing had not really presented itself yet. But the Allman Brothers were watching on one side the Grateful Dead having continuing success and on the other side stuff like Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughan doing very well. And I remember Dickey and I having a conversation where he said to me, ‘Somewhere in between those two things is where we are.’ That was some sort of starting point to take that information and combine it with the influence of those early records.”
