Gregg Allman Documentary Premieres with Special Tributes and Insights

Gregg Allman, a legendary figure in music, is celebrated in a new documentary titled “The Music of My Soul.” The film debuted in New York City, showcasing Allman’s profound impact on the music industry.

The documentary is rich with Allman’s own music, encapsulating his journey and influence. Notably, it includes a unique song by country artist Jackson Dean. Dean’s song, “My Cross to Bear,” appears at the film’s conclusion, serving as a heartfelt tribute to Allman’s legacy with the Allman Brothers Band. His iconic tracks like “Midnight Rider,” “Whipping Post,” and “I’m No Angel” are part of the movie’s soundtrack.

Subtext, responsible for acquiring the film’s North American rights, is an independent film production and distribution company in the U.S.

Michael Lehman, who worked closely with Allman, expressed his sentiments: “I am honored to have worked with Gregg and to have called him my dear friend. This film captures his true essence, and it’s profoundly meaningful to be able to share his remarkable story with the world. Gregg’s music has outlived him and will bring joy to many generations in the future.”
