Such was the case recently when we “talked” - that is, I emailed questions to Allman's publicist who relayed them to Allman and then emailed answers back to me.Įmail interviews are a strange beast. In his 2012 autobiography, “My Cross to Bear,” Allman wrote, “I know how many nights in a row I can play and how many nights in a row I can sing.”īut, there's also this, which is more likely: He can dodge questions he doesn't care to answer for whatever reason. Why? It could be for a variety of reasons: Saving your voice for one. Allman, like a few other rockers, prefers the email format, to the point of refusing interviews by phone. The veteran blues-rocker, who released the album “Low Country Blues” in 2011, plays with his eight-piece backing band Friday at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis. “I tell people I'll never retire from playing it's the traveling that will make me quit! I love playing music it's my life's blood, man, and that's what keeps me out on the road.” Gregg Allman, the 66-year-old singer-keyboardist who has anchored the Allman Brothers Band, in its many incarnations, is talking about life on the road.
