This soaring music documentary traces Gregg Allman's journey from a childhood scarred by his father's murder to the heights of Southern rock and late-life sobriety, exploring grief, addiction, love, and the racially charged American South through his transcendent music. Tender and unsparing, featuring electrifying performances and archival recordings, the film reveals how Gregg's unforgettable blend of rock, country and blues mirrored the music and struggles of his soul.

Instead of watching this, you would be better off reading the Wikipedia article on Gregg’s life while listening to his greatest hits playlist.

Well-edited, revealing and captivating. You don't have to be a fan of Allman or rock music to be engaged by this very well-made and extraordinary documentary.

I think the challenge with this film is not making it an Allman Brothers Band, and Keach rises to that challenge by keeping it purely focused on Gregg Allman.

It was so good! I loved just seeing Greggs face and him talking and all the interviews with the others. I knew a lot of this from reading Greggs book but for true ABB fans it’s a must see!!! I bed. A fan for almost 50 years and I loved every sec of it! The best band of all time ♥️

If you are an Allman Brothers or Gregg Allman fan, you will appreciate this well done documentary. Not just a moving story of a complicated life, filled with both tragedy and triumph, but also lots of great music and memories. My husband and I were both in tears at the end.

This was a very enjoyable show. I knew very little of the history, so I definitely got a lot out of it. My husband knew a lot of the background and really liked it as well. I've told a lot of people how good it was, and they can't wait to see it. Well done!
