Weekend Music Club: Gregg Allman

The sixty year-old rocker Gregg Allman, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twelve years ago, is reportedly undergoing treatment for hepatitis C infection. Best known as the founding member of the Allman Bros. Band, Allman has developed personal career niches in his own right — utilizing his talents as a blueser, keyboardist, guitarist, and songwriter in the process. News of his medical issues this week are not surprising due to his much storied history of booze, cocaine, and heroin consumption. To his credit however, he has been sober for much of the past 12 years, and he is this week’s installment of the Weekend Music Club. Here he is, performing “Come And Go Blues“.
