Eat a Peach: A Seminal Album Celebrates 50 Years
The Allman Brothers Band Presents a Memorable Celebration
50th Anniversary of the Iconic Recording
In the annals of music history, the 1972 album "Eat a Peach" by the Allman Brothers Band stands as a defining masterpiece. Released towards the end of the year, this iconic record left an indelible mark on the music scene, solidified the band's status as "The Grateful Dead of the South," and spawned some of their most enduring hits.
The album's cover art, a magnificent gatefold sleeve designed by Jim Flournoy Holmes and W David Powell of Wonder Graphics, has become synonymous with its timeless music. The intricate artwork depicts a peach orchard, a fitting symbol for the album's blend of Southern rock, bluesy grooves, and soaring harmonies.
The band's celebration of this musical milestone promises to be an unforgettable event. JRAD, a renowned Grateful Dead tribute act, will headline the "Peach at the Beach" concert at the new Summer Concert Stage at Island Water Park. This special performance will take place on a date to be announced, bringing together fans old and new to experience the enduring legacy of "Eat a Peach."
