Kopš 1960. gada ģitārists Duane un taustiņinstrumentālists Gregg Allman kopā strādāja vairākās Floridā balstītās grupās. 1968. gadā Duane sāka strādāt par sesijas ģitāristu Fame Studios Muscle Shoals, Alabamas štatā, kur viņš piedalījās Vilsona Piketa un Aretha Franklina ierakstos. Pēc Capricorn Records galvenā Phila Walden mudinājuma Duane izveidoja Allman Brothers Band.
Although their eponymous debut album (1969) had little success outside the South, the group attracted wider attention when Eric Clapton asked Duane to record with Derek and the Dominos in 1970. The jam-oriented At Fillmore East (1971) established the Allman Brothers as master improvisers, working within the blues-rock vocabulary but augmenting it with elements of jazz, country, and Latin music. Because of the band’s strong Southern roots, its success inspired a host of regional rockers, which in turn led to the notion of a Southern rock boom. Before the band could capitalize on its growing fame, however, Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971.
Although guitarist Betts assumed leadership of the band, friction with Gregg led to its dissolution in 1976. The band reunited in 1978, but the event took on the air of a soap opera in light of Gregg’s marriage to the singer and actress Cher. The Allmans splintered again in 1981. Reuniting yet again in 1989, the Allmans placed an even greater emphasis on blues-based improvisation, a sound that in part served as the template for such 1990s jam bands as the Black Crowes and Blues Traveler.
The Allman Brothers’ subsequent albums included Seven Turns (1990) and Where It All Begins (1994), both of which fared well both critically and commercially. Although they jettisoned Betts in 2000, the band continued to draw crowds up until their final concert in 2014. Their last studio album, Hittin’ the Note (2003), earned critical praise. The Allman Brothers Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, and they received the Grammy Award for lifetime achievement in 2012.
