Various - The Roots Of The Allman Brothers

This collection brings together the many influences that made the Allman Brothers the toughest, Blues outfit of their generation. 24 tracks including cuts from Howlin' Wolf, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, B.B. King and many others. Complete Blues.
