Brothers And Sisters

“Brothers And Sisters” is the fourth studio album by the Allman Brothers Band. Following the death of group leader Duane Allman in 1971, the Allman Brothers Band released Eat A Peach in 1972, a hybrid studio & live album that became their biggest yet. Afterwards, the group purchased a farm in Juliette, Georgia, to become a “group hangout”. However, bassist Berry Oakley was visibly suffering from the death of Duane, excessively drinking and consuming drugs. In November of 1972, after nearly a year of severe depression, Oakley was killed in a motorcycle accident (not dissimilar from Duane’s), making it the last album on which he played. The band carried on, adding new members Chuck Leavell on piano and Lamar Williams on bass. “Brothers And Sisters” was largely recorded over a period of three months at Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, Georgia. Lead guitarist Dickey Betts assumed the role of band leader, and many of his compositions reflected a more country-inspired sound. The album represented the Allmans’ commercial peak: it has sold over seven million copies worldwide.
