AGAIN THE MORNING COME
AGAIN HE'S ON THE RUN
SUNBEAMS SHINING THROUGH HIS HAIR
APPEARING NOT TO HAVE A CARE
WELL, PICK UP
YOUR GEAR
AND GYPSY ROLL ON, ROLL ON
Eat a Peach
is an album by
the American
rock band
released on
February 12, 1972,
by Capricorn Records.
A double album,
it was produced by
Tom Dowd
and serves as
the band's third
studio album
and second
live album
due to its mixture
of live
and
studio recordings.
Following their artistic
and commercial breakthrough
with the
July 1971 release
of the live album
At Fillmore East,
the Allman Brothers Band
got to work on
what was originally
intended to be their
third studio album.
But on October 29, 1971,
lead and slide guitarist
Duane Allman,
group leader
and founder,
was killed
in a motorcycle accident
in the band's
adopted hometown of
Macon, Georgia,
making it the
final album
to feature him.
contains studio recordings
from
September–December 1971
at Criteria Studios, Miami
both with
and without
Duane Allman
and
live recordings
from several
of the band's
1971 performances
at the
Fillmore East.
The album includes
the extended
half-hour-long
"Mountain Jam",
which was
long enough
to take up
two full sides
of the original double-LP.
Other highlights
include vocalist
Gregg Allman's
performance of his
brother's favorite song,
"Melissa",
plus
Dickey Betts
"Blue Sky",
which went on to
become a
classic rock radio staple.
The album artwork
was created by
W. David Powell
and
J. F. Holmes
at Wonder Graphics,
and depicts
the band's name on
a peach truck,
The album's title
came from a quote
by
Duane Allman:
"You can't help the revolution,
because there's just evolution ...
Every time I'm in Georgia,
I eat a peach for peace".
On release
Eat a Peach
was an immediate
commercial success
and peaked at
number four
on
Billboard's
Top 200 Pop Albums chart.
The album was later
certified platinum
and remains a
top seller
in the band's
discography.
DEATH OF DUANE ALLMAN
On October 29, 1971,
Duane Allman,
aged 24,
was killed in a
motorcycle accident
a day after
returning to
the band's home of
Macon, Georgia
from an
extended tour
of concert gigs.
Allman was exceeding
a safe speed
at the intersection of
Hillcrest Avenue
and
Bartlett Street
as a
flatbed lumber crane
approached.
The flatbed truck
stopped suddenly
in the intersection,
forcing Allman to
swerve his
Harley-Davidson
Sportster motorcycle
sharply to the left
to avoid a collision.
As he was doing so,
he struck either
the back of the truck
or the ball on
the lumber crane
and was
immediately thrown
from the motorcycle.
The motorcycle
bounced into the air,
landed on Allman
and skidded
another 90 feet
(27 m)
with him
pinned underneath,
crushing several
internal organs.
Though he was alive
when he arrived
at the hospital,
despite
immediate
emergency surgery
he died
several hours later
from massive
internal injuries.
The loss devastated
all who knew him,
just as
At Fillmore East
climbed into the top 15
of the national
album charts
