When the Allman Brothers Band came up on the scene in 1969,
they created a whole new genre of music,
and their southern rock was an exciting fusion of rock, jazz, country, and blues,
and was reflective of the emergence of the New South.
And like many of us in those days who came from the South,
we grew up in an environment of music that included a bit of everything.
Music was not confined to such rigid formats.
And the Allman Brothers Band took what moved them
and merged it into something unique that audiences loved,
a sound that redefined the direction of rock and roll
and opened the doors to a spirit of experimentation that continues in today's music.
The Allman Brothers Band defined southern rock.
They had tremendous influence over the many who followed in their footsteps,
and they could be imitated but never duplicated.
And their music was initially met with slow acceptance outside of the South,
so they took it on the road, and they let the public decide what they wanted.
And as I've always believed, if you let the people have a choice,
they will always respond to good music.
The Allman Brothers Band were and still are
one of the most exciting live bands to ever hit the stage.
They became road warriors with a vengeance
and left devoted fans wherever they went.
Their sound, Dwayne's incredible guitar work,
matched to Dickie Betts' equally incredible guitar licks,
created complex dual melodies supported by drummers Butch Trucks and J-Mo,
and the powerful bass playing of Barry Oakley
and the soulful organ and vocals of Greg Allman.
Unfortunately, the band was beset by tragedy.
Dwayne's death was a great loss and is still felt by musicians every day.
And Barry Oakley's death was another harsh blow.
But the band survived and continued to make great music.
And more than 25 years later, the music not only survives,
but continues to inspire, influence, and impact the music of today.
I'm very proud to have the honor of inducting a band
that reflects so many of my sentiments about music,
originality, a determination not to be confined musically or stylistically,
but instead to forge your own way and make music that moves you.
A devotion to the road and understanding that beyond pleasing yourself as an artist,
the only other consideration should be the people, the fans who come to hear you.
And when you make music that's heartfelt and real, the people will respond.
And so with pleasure, I give you rock and roll's greatest jamming blues band,
the Allman Brothers Band.
