King, Bobby Bland, Sleepy John Estes, and many more, PLUS an original track written by Gregg and the Allman Brothers Band' Warren Haynes called "Just Another Rider."

Mr. Allman features clear, strong vocals on this new effort. His punching blues on Another Rider, is rhythmic, up and down. You ride the roller coaster of emotions on this effort. The rest of the record is excellent. I cannot stop going back and playing over and over Just Another Rider. My friends, this is powerful stuff, the words, the voice , get stuck in your head.
This is not the Gregg Allman I expected to hear. This is mostly boring. Don't waste your money.
