Following the sudden and tragic death of guitarist and band leader Duane Allman in 1971, the Allman Brothers Band released 1972’s 'Eat A Peach'. The album was a huge commercial success, peaking at number four on Billboard. Soon after, the band regrouped to begin working on what would be their first album without Duane in the studio. It was a huge void but the band was determined to continue. But, once again, tragedy struck. Bassist Berry Oakley’s life was cut short just as they’d begun recording.
The odds of overcoming Duane’s death already seemed insurmountable. Losing both Duane and Berry? This was something that could end a band altogether. But, as history has proven, this wasn’t your average band.
This is the story of The Allman Brothers Band fourth studio album released in August of 1973 - 'Brothers and Sisters'.
