Allmans’ discograph­y starts way back in ’69

- ELLIS WIDNER

The Allman Brothers Band released a number of singles, but just 10 made it to Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 chart. Of those, one of their best-known and mostloved songs, “Ramblin’ Man,” reached No. 2.

Only two others — “Crazy Love” and “Straight From the Heart” — made it into the Top 40 of the chart at No. 29 and 39 respective­ly.

But the Allmans built their reputation on electrifyi­ng live performanc­es and influentia­l albums such as Eat a Peach, Brothers and Sisters and The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East.

There are numerous concerts, music videos and more on YouTube, including a concert at New York’s Fillmore East from Sept. 23, 1970.
