Grade: A
Gregg Allman’s first solo album in 14 years shines with a bluesy greatness that only Allman could create. Not that he didn’t have help — Allman is joined on the record by Dr. John and T Bone Burnett. “Low County Blues” is almost entirely composed of covers of blues greats like Muddy Waters — only one track, “Just Another Rider,” was written by Allman himself. Nevertheless, Allman makes each song unique and conveys a powerful sadness that only the blues can communicate.
