Ahead of the release, Allman will debut two new tracks, “Peace To The World” featuring Robert Randolph, and “After You” available on DSPs along with album pre-orders this Friday, June 27.
"Making this album with these legends and finally having my touring band be on record is just a grand slam for me musically. Also, returning to Ruf Records as I expand my European touring is an important move for me. I look forward to playing these songs on stage worldwide over the next 12 months." - Devon Allman on The Blues Summit
