I was just talking to a very good friend about a Greg Allman song yesterday and then I saw in the news he died. That was crazy timing considering I really haven't thought of him in quite some time. He was pioneer of the Southern Rock and Rebel Roll sound. I enjoy the Allman brothers and he will be missed.

Yes a sad day in music as a pioneer to what a lot of country stars now know as southern rock. Many of today's country artists owe their sound and style of music to the Allman brothers.
