Greg Allman Will the Circle be Unbroken

[mustangblues05]

Uncle Gregg did real good on this didn't he.This man has more soul than any of todays singers will ever have.

[dyalnstclair]

@mustangblues05 Yes he does, I have heard him sing it a few times, but this version is by far the best

[Cannadarlin1]

Yep... Only one request I have for the day everyone (but me..lol) celebrates my life.

I want this song played by this magnificent man...... What a way to go out!!!!!!!!!!!

[thespy]

@Cannadarlin1 ...I want this played at my funeral, and Riders on the Storm played when I'm lowered in the ground

[cadensmomma767]

[warr0950]

It was on his "Laid Back" album. 

[scootdaws25]

Saw this concert in 1974 at Detroit Masonic Temple. He had Jai andButch on the drums and Agroup called Cowboy. Outstanding!!!!!

[0520bitch]

[twotimetes]

[davisonh1]

Listen to some Nitty Gritty Dirt Band..Will the Circle Be Unbroken,awesome gospel,raw bluegrass by Earl,Merle,A.P. and Doc..with the Dirt Band helpin out.

[davisonh1]

I do believe AP Carter wrote it as a gospel/bluegrass song,A.P. Carter was Johnny Cash's mother in law..

[bigdaveonbass]

@davisonh1 A.P. Carter did write it, but he was not Johnny Cash's mother in law. Maybelle Carter was Johnny's mother in law and she was married to A.P.'s brother, Ezra.

[ericm1551]

I was at the concert when it came through Boston, still have the ticket stub. I believe there was a 35 piece orchestra playing with the band. Great concert, even greater song. Still have the LP. Boston Bill

After the death of his brother, Duane, Gregg Allman carved out a solo career. His first album, "Laid Back", was released in 1973 to a positive critical reception. It included a reworked Allman Brothers songs, "Midnight Rider" (one of the band's best songs) that made it to #19 on the Charts. There are also a few cover songs on the lp, such as the gospel song "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" & a take on Jackson Browne's song "These Days."

[bigdaveonbass]

@seagreg Will The Circle Be Unbroken isn't actually a gospel song. It was written by A.P. Carter and performed by The Carter Family.

[KimboDiddy]

its also on his "Laid Back" album. thanks for the live version.

[Rotarded705]

I'm pretty sure they play it in the last 5 minutes of Mountain Jam ( around the 27:20 mark). Actually, I'm trying to figure that out right now lol

[BachnRoll100]

@Rotarded705 I read they did in a book, there's a real good chance it's true- I've also heard Mountain jam quite a few times, and I'm positive iss for real

[Kanoshe]

@BachnRoll100 on my live album eat a peach they did not

[Suzywriter]

ABB played this song at Duane's funeral in 1971.

[nicoleswanner]

I love this song, we played it at my aunt's funeral...there wasn't a dry eye in sight.

[kareng16]

I forgot about this song...THANK YOU!!!!

[bushimi]

I had been looking for this song for awhile and finally found the studio version on Gregg's first solo album, Laid Back, released in 1973. It really gets to me.

[Mipoguilo]

damn nice version.

//excuse me ... something in my eye

[alikatpro]

[thespy]

Thanks for the info on this song

[alikatpro]

No problem, brought back some great memories between old friends today. ask anytime

[warr0950]

@alikatpro  If I remember, Greg sang this on his "Laid Back" Album in 73 or 74. Hell I don't remember. I was too stoned.

[alikatpro]

I think this comes from a double live album in the 70's I will check the archives and let you know.

I haven't seen it for 25 years.

[beltpn]

I used to have the mp3 of this and lost it thanks so much for posting it!!!!!!!
