Gregg Allman, RIP

Gregg Allman died yesterday at the age of 69. I was a big fan of the original Allman Brothers Band.

“Whipping Post” isn’t my favorite Allman Brothers song, but I think it best exemplifies Gregg Allman as a blues singer. Below are (1) a studio recording of “Whipping Post” and (2) a performance of it at the Fillmore East in 1970.
