• Track Listing

As saddened as millions of us were to see Gregg leave this Earth in May, it’s heartening to know that his final studio album was done so beautifully right. Recorded at none other than Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and produced in masterful fashion by Don Was, this album does more than take us back to the early Allmans sound—it reaches back to the sound and recording techniques of the records that inspired the Allmans to get into music in the first place. The McCrary Sisters, Buddy Miller and Jackson Browne are heard on this recording, which arrives here on CD, 150-gram gatefold vinyl or two-disc deluxe edition. Limited-edition hardwood-colored vinyl is for the first run only (future runs will be black vinyl), and the vinyl LP comes with a download card featuring the two live bonus tracks found on the deluxe-edition CD: "I Love the Life I Live" (West Virginia, May 2016) and "Love Like Kerosene" (Philadelphia, April 2016). The deluxe and vinyl editions also include a portrait of Gregg that was painted in his blood (foldout in the deluxe set, heavyweight lithograph in the vinyl package). Lastly, you get a 30-minute "making-of" DVD if you pick up the deluxe edition. The last album by this revered Southern-rock pioneer also includes "Song for Adam" (with Jackson Browne), "My Only True Friend," "Once I Was," "Going Going Gone," "Black Muddy River" and more. A deeply satisfying end to a remarkable career, and a profound testament to a unique and prodigious talent. Rounder.
