Don Was On Producing Gregg Allman's Final Recording Southern Blood.
Southern Blood is the final studio album from rock and roll legend, Gregg Allman.
Produced by Don Was and recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL at the renowned Fame Studios. With contributions from Gregg's friends and compatriots, including The McCrary Sisters, Buddy Miller, and Jackson Browne, Southern Blood is a true testament to a legendary career.
Don Was gives personal insights into working with Gregg and how many years this project took to finally complete,  not knowing this would be Gregg's final studio recording. Gregg Allman made his transition May 27, 2017 and Southern Blood was released posthumously
a few months later.
