Gregg Allman passed away on May 27, 2017. The American had been struggling with health problems for some time and knew he did not have long to live. That's why he worked passionately on this album with producer Don Was, which he knew would be his last.

Most of the songs on Southern Blood have been written by others ( , , ), but he makes the most impression with My Only True Friend, written by himself, in which he sings with a cracked voice 'I hope you're haunted by the music of my soul when I'm gone'. Impressive. (PdK)more
