Devon Allman Shares 'You' New Single

Devon Allman Shares ‘You’ New Single from his forthcoming album ‘Miami Moon’ out August 16, feat. legendary lineup.

‘You’ was written on the spot in the studio as we made the Miami Moon record,” says Allman. “A love letter to my wife…It simply didn’t exist prior to going in to make the record. We had so much fun turning the photo shoot into a BTS music video. Shot on location at the Angad Arts hotel in St.Louis…a perfect, hip location for the smooth vibe of the song.”

“You” follows the release of the album’s lead single, “White Horse” with the accompanying official music video which. The official music video for “You” premiered earlier this week exclusively via All Music Magazine who said “The music video perfectly complements the music. The cool shade of blue and purple – while a cold color – brings warmth and laid-back vibes to enhance the song.”

Miami Moon, Allman’s first solo LP in 8 years is out everywhere August 16 via his own, Create Records.

For the album, Allman put together one of the finest studio bands in recent history featuring George Porter JR. (The Meters) on bass, Ivan Neville (Keith Richards, Dumpstaphunk,) on keyboards, Adam Deitch (Lettuce,) on drums, Karl Denson (The Rolling Stones) on saxophone and Jackson Stokes on guitar.

Miami Moon was recorded on 2” analog tape at the historic Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida (the studio where Layla & Eat a Peach were born) and was produced by Grammy winning producer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Chris “Kingfish” Ingram.)

With Miami Moon, Allman has created what Tom Hambridge calls a masterpiece.

“Making the Miami Moon record with these legendary musicians has been a high point of my career. They brought these songs to life with their masterful playing and timeless feels. As for the approach, a couple things were different this time: First, writing the songs on bass guitar was a first for me and allowed the grooves to be the main focus. Also, letting go of some previous, limiting thought processes allowed some of my other influences to enter the chat for the first time such as Curtis Mayfield, Sade, The Cure, Steely Dan…among others. I believe you can hear some flourishes of those true loves on this album. Additionally, recording in the same hallowed halls where Dad made the Eat a Peach record and where Uncle Duane and Eric Clapton recorded the Layla record, made for a very special setting for us all to work in. We kept it fun and we kept it funky…..we ordered Cuban food, watched the NBA and jammed in a circle for days. In a world where you can make records in the basement or your bedroom, I’m so grateful to have done this record in a classic manner.” – Devon Allman
