‘A Brother’s Dream’ is a compilation of direct, & referenced, musical motifs from the early days of brothers, Duane & Gregg Allman, recording careers, dating back to 1969. This song is intended to honor the brother’s incredible contributions to the musical world and to the enduring legacy that they helped put into motion. This song is in memory of Duane & Gregg Allman, but also by extension, a tribute to the entire Allman Brothers Band Family.
I was fourteen years old in 1969. I’ll never forget the day that we were hanging out in the old Siesta Key Village when someone started talking about this new band that had just released their first album, and that the band had ties to our town of Sarasota, FL. We went over to someone’s house that had the album, self-titled, The Allman Brothers Band, and I was captivated immediately. It was a sound that I had never heard, and I was instantly hooked. I was fortunate enough to hear them couple of times in Sarasota, in 69 & 70, once at Robarts Sports Arena, and once at The Municipal Auditorium where BB King opened for the Brothers. The energy and power these guys were able to generate was otherworldly.
I believe that there are at least 10 vignettes or motifs referenced in this song. One of the riffs pre-dates the ABB era. Duane Allman has always been one of my top tier guitar heroes, and his brother, Gregg Allman an equal inspiration for his expressive song writing, and for his mirror-to-the-soul vocals. I never knew Duane Allman personally, but through his music, and everything that I have read about him, he was an intense, and intensely passionate and happy, man. He lived life with extreme gusto and verve, and with a ‘devil-may-care’ attitude. It was his vision, his dream, to create the band that became the Allman Brothers Band, and with this song ‘A Brother’s Dream’, I hope to capture a little of that effervescent spirit and indomitable energy that was Duane Allman.
