    Good album of covers + very beautiful new song "My Only True Friend". Good-old blues, nothing new, but of course when you know that it is his farewell, it changes a lot. So, 5 - for songs themselves, the whole album is scoreless.

    Gregg Allman's swansong, as he was dying of cancer.

    This is a magnificent tribute to one of Southern Rock's finest artists.

    Filled with songs that are heart-felt, melancholy, beautifully played and sung, this is an album to treasure and play often.

    Given Low Country Blues was Grammy-nominated, stand by for the superior Southern Blood to appear in many year-end lists.

    Gregg's vocal technique was remarkably intact despite his illness, as was his trademark ability to convey love, honesty, anguish. [Nov 2017, p.97]
