A Quote by Butch Trucks

I kind of question whether to say this or not, but it's almost like the Allman Brothers turned into an Allman Brothers tribute band.

Dickey Betts

We looked at the Allman Brothers as the fathers of what was to be called Southern rock. In our book, if you didn't like the Allman Brothers, you were sacrilegious.

Rickey Medlocke

You can't have the Allman Brothers without Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman. Those are just irreplaceable spirits.

Derek Trucks

And you can't have an Allman Brothers gig without an Allman brother. I've heard people try to argue that you can, but I'm not buying it.

Derek Trucks

Duane Allman might be my favorite guitar player ever. I'd say I'm influenced by the Allman Brothers more than any other band. When I taught guitar lessons for a living, the students that were interested in soloing had to learn the intro to 'It's Not My Cross to Bear' first thing.

Coy Bowles

Duane Allman inspired the group to explore the extended jam format that was already a staple of the Allman Brothers act. Moreover, his ferocious slide playing motivated Clapton to turn in some of the finest guitar performances of his career

Bob Whitlock

I think the first time I was at Red Rocks was my first gig as a member of the Allman Brothers Band, June of 1999.

Derek Trucks

The one thing the Allman Brothers Band does not do is phone it in. They bring it every night and that's something I draw from.

Derek Trucks

After we did the last Allman Brothers Band show, my wife and I just packed up and went to France for pretty much all of 2015, and I just got bored; I got the itch. I wanna play.

Butch Trucks

When we started the Allman Brothers, it was all about the music.

Butch Trucks

The Allman Brothers 1969 to 1971... were all about... jumping off the cliff... Just taking music and being adventurous with it.

Butch Trucks

It wasn't unusual for an Allman Brothers record to cost $300,000.

Butch Trucks

But the Allman Brothers made some great studio records.

Derek Trucks

One indisputable fact is that whatever has happened to, and with, the Allman Brothers Band, we've persevered.
