About this album

Laid Back is Gregg Allman’s strongest solo album, balancing Southern soul, country rock and deep-rooted gospel feeling with uncommon warmth. Issued in 1973, it followed the Allman Brothers’ breakthrough and showed Allman translating his weathered voice into a more intimate setting without losing the weight of his band’s sound. Produced by Johnny Sandlin and recorded in the aftermath of major personal upheaval, the album includes a reworked version of Midnight Rider alongside heartfelt readings of These Days and Will the Circle Be Unbroken. Its mix of reflective songwriting and Southern restraint helped define Allman’s solo identity.

Genre: Pop & Rock
