A New Documentary Shines A Light On The Life And Legacy Of An Allman Brother.
It’s hard to believe it’s been nine years since Gregg Allman passed away on May 27, 2017. Even now, his voice still feels woven into the soul of American rock music, that smoky, weary sound that could somehow feel heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. And this year, fans are getting something really special: a brand-new documentary called Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul. The film is directed by James Keach, the same filmmaker behind acclaimed music documentaries about Linda Ronstadt and David Crosby. It’s set for a theatrical release on June 17. One thing that stands out from the early trailers is how honest Gregg sounds. There’s archival footage where he admits he was angry after his brother, Duane died, angry at life, angry at God, angry at losing the person he leaned on most. That kind of raw openness was always part of what made Gregg resonate with people. He never sounded polished, he sounded real.
