That would probably be my choice. Their influence was huge. Pretty much started Southern Rock, even though I never thought of them as a Southern Rock band.
Agree, but one must not leave out Little Feat or the Atlanta Rhythm Section (real pros).
One very memorable evening many many years ago (a very young student)— in Atlanta went to a double billing small club date with Little Feat and the Allman Brothers. And in the audience noticed a who’s who of Southern legendary musicians/writers (Joe South,Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett among them). And somewhere in there an amazing Atlanta Rhythm Section show at the Fox Theater- starry night sky ceiling and fantastic acoustics.
Beyond phenomenal- and always wondered if there were any bootleg tapes of that show. We sat in the front table/row and were just drinking bourbon, and were completely amazed at the musicianship.
This brings back the feel of those times, acoustic music wise:
Delaney & Bonne and Duane Allman (playing Robert Johnson’s “Come on In My Kitchen”). Go Gators!:
