Idlewild South

Idlewild South is the second album by The Allman Brothers. As a result of the band's relentless touring schedule, the album was recorded gradually over a period of five months in various cities, including New York, Miami and Maicon, Georgia the band's home. The material presented on Idlewild South was written during this period and tested out on the road at shows. The album's title comes from the band's nickname for a rustic cabin the band rented out and used for rehearsals, as well as parties. Idlewild South contains two of the band's best-known songs, Midnight Rider and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.
