The Allman Brothers Band, released in 1969, was the eponymous debut album of Southern rock group, The Allman Brothers Band.

The album did not sell very well outside of Southern United States; however, despite not doing well commercially, it was a solid blues rock album. "Dreams" and "Whipping Post" would become the basis for two of The Allman Brothers' most famed epic concert numbers. As good as the studio cut of Whipping Post is, perhaps the quintessential version can be heard on Live at the Fillmore East. At just over 22 minutes it is The Allman Brothers at their very best. The Allman Brothers Band redefined rock and roll and set the bar for all Southern rockers that followed.

The song "Whipping Post" is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.[1]
