In our in-depth and deeply felt 1981 interview for Guitar Player magazine, Gregg Allman speaks exclusively about his older brother Duane, the founder of the band that bears their family name. Gregg put a lot of thought into his responses as he spoke at length of their childhood, first guitars, influences, early bands, Duane’s extensive studio work culminating with Eric Clapton's Layla sessions, and especially the Allman Brothers Band.
