  • Devon Allman, Son of Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band, Leads His Band Called Honey Tribe and He Is a Member of Royal Southern Brotherhood As Well
    Singer/guitarist Devon Allman, son of Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band, leads his band called Honey Tribe and he is a member of Royal Southern Brotherhood as well. Now Devon has recorded his first solo album that is made up songs that are written about his personal life along with one Tom Petty cover song. The 2013 International Blues Challenge was held in Memphis from January 29 – February 2. Ghost Town Blues Band from Memphis did not win, but they did make it to the top ten. They have released two excellent albums and can be seen performing at many local venues. Former Memphian Little G. Weevil won the solo/duo category and best guitarist in that category at the IBC. His excellent album The Teaser is a great example of why he won. Boz Scaggs came to Memphis to record his new album titled, surprisingly enough, Memphis. Most surprising is how well he handles the soul and blues songs on Memphis. Devon Allman – Turquoise Devon Allman is Gregg Allman’s son, but he grew up with his mom in Corpus Christi, Texas, away from the rock & roll lifestyle. He didn’t even meet his dad until he was a teenager, but they are now very close. While Devon was influenced by The Allman Brothers, he was also influenced by a myriad of other musicians and styles of music, so he really doesn’t sound much like The Allman Brothers. Devon has his own unique sound, both in his guitar playing and his singing. Some have tried to compare him to his uncle Duane, but aside from both having blonde hair and favoring Les Paul guitars, there aren’t a lot of similarities.

  • Muddy Waters Began to Assemble What Appears to Be, in Retrospect, the Prototypical Rock Band
    Playing at the blues bars o f Chicago’s South Side in the Forties, Muddy Waters began to assemble what appears to be, in retrospect, the prototypical rock band. Watersfound he couldn' t command much attention unamplified in a crowded, noisy club. So in 1944 he bought his first electric I guitar. As a vocalist, he developed a I raw and impassioned shouting style. His groups, which played with all amps cranked, consisted o f bass, drums, second guitar,2 piano and harmonica, with Waters on slide guitar and vocals. He and a shifting company o f stellar sidemen played hard-edged, unadulterated blues, but his bands had the earmarks—in size, volume and attitude—of rock combos to come. Waters also created some of rock! s classic cover material: ‘ ‘Hoochie Coochie Man,” “IJustWanttoMakeLovetoYou,” ‘‘Got My MoJo Working. ’ ’ In addition, he introduced Chuck Berry to the Chess brothers and inadvertently provided the Rolling Stones with their name (liftedfrom the title o f one o f his songs). McKinley was dubbed Muddy by his grandmother, who reared him on the Stovall Plantation, nearClarksdale, Mississippi; his playmates added Waters. At age ten, he taught himself to play the harmonica; at seventeen, he placed an order for hisfirst guitar with Sears and Roebuck. In 1941, folklorist Alan Lomax discovered Waters at the Stovall Plantation and recorded his solo work, which revealed the inspiration o f Delta bluesmen Robert Johnson and SonHouse. Inl943, Waters leftfor Chicago, a new homefor many ambitious Southerners, where the commingling o f country traditions and new MUDDY WATERS urban values was changing the shape o f the blues.
