The Allman Brothers Band’s Eat A Peach, originally released as a 2-LP set in February 1972, was the band’s biggest seller to date as well as their first Top 10 album, peaking at Number Four and spending an amazing 48 weeks on the charts.
Released soon after the tragic death of Duane Allman, the album featured both live and studio material, including such classics as “Melissa,” “Stand Back,” “Blue Sky,” “One Way Out” and “Mountain Jam.” Eat A Peach was an impressively cohesive musical statement, a graceful summation of the Allman Brothers Band’s original lineup and a persuasive testament to Duane Allman’s immense talent.
