Uncle Sam's is a live album by the Gregg Allman Band, a rock group led by Gregg Allman. It was recorded on July 1, 1983, at Uncle Sam's in Hull, Massachusetts. It was released on September 20, 2024.[1][2][3]
In 1982, the Allman Brothers Band broke up for the second time. Subsequently Gregg Allman formed the Gregg Allman Band, and played many live shows at smaller concert venues. The group featured two other former members of the Allman Brothers Band – Dan Toler on guitar, and Frankie Toler on drums.[4][5]
On jambands.com, Larson Sutton said, "... [Dan] Toler establishes himself as a player of dexterity and taste, and a discernible influence from his years with [Dickey] Betts.... Refreshingly, Allman employs a horn section that sharpens the corners around his superb vocals... As a first archival release from Allman’s personal vault, it's a great choice."[6]
In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "... the detail in the sound of this unfortunately uncredited recording impresses no end.... Not only does [the album] preserve for posterity the high standards Gregg Allman set for himself as a working musician and performer under his name, but it also lends credence to a perception that he was, in fact, the soul of the band to which he gave his surname."[7]
