The Allman Betts Band released the first track “All Night” from their debut album Down To The River (BMG).
“It goes beyond the fact our dads were in a famous band and supersedes the whole ‘sons of’ thing. We’re a band, and we’re going to make sure everyone recognizes that.” Allman told Billboard of The ABB.
Down To The River was produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, John Prine) at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. Peter Levin (Gregg Allman’s Hammond B3 player) and Chuck Leavell (former Allman Brothers Band keyboardist and current Rolling Stones keyboardist) make special appearances on the record.
Motivated by classic recording techniques, and the vintage gear in the historic Alabama studio, they cut the album live. No computers. No digital editing. They tracked nine songs on two-inch analog tape, resulting in their debut album.
The Allman Betts Band “Down To The River” World Tour is already under way, and will feature nearly 200 tour stops including a handful of dates supporting John Fogerty. The tour will bring the band across the US and Europe for intimate headlining performances as well as several festivals including Peach Festival, Lockn’, Big Blues Bender, Telluride Blues & Brews, and many more.
