Captured live on July 1, 1983 at Uncle Sam's in Hull, Massachusetts, Uncle Sam's documents the Gregg Allman Band at a compelling moment in the artist's career — fronting a tight, horn-fueled septet that brought a jazz and blues sophistication to both solo material and beloved Allman Brothers Band classics. Featuring the Toler brothers, Dan and Frankie, alongside percussionist Chaz Trippy, this recording showcases a band firing on all cylinders in an intimate club setting.
The performance moves fluidly across a wide emotional range, opening with a delicate acoustic rendition of "Midnight Rider" before surging through jazzy takes on "Hot 'Lanta" and "Queen of Hearts," a ferocious "Trouble No More," and deeply felt readings of "Dreams," "Melissa," and "Statesboro Blues." Released on Sawrite Records, this is a rare live document that gives listeners an unfiltered look at Gregg Allman and his band in their element, delivering the kind of spirited, spontaneous performance that only a live recording can capture.
