Artist: THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
Album: "EAT A PEACH (CD)"

Year: 1972
Media type: CD

Eat a Peach is the third studio album by American rock band the Allman Brothers Band. Produced by Tom Dowd, the album was released on February 12, 1972, in the United States by Capricorn Records. Following their artistic and commercial breakthrough with the release of the live album At Fillmore East (1971), the Allman Brothers Band got to work on their third studio album. Many in the band were struggling, however, with heroin addictions, and checked into rehab to confront these problems. Shortly after leaving rehab, group leader Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in the band's home of Macon, Georgia.

Eat a Peach contains live recordings from the band's famed Fillmore East performances, but primarily functions as a group studio effort. Dickey Betts, the band's second lead guitarist, gradually became the band's primary leader. The album contains the extended, half-hour-long "Mountain Jam," as well as vocalist Gregg Allman's tribute to his brother, "Melissa," plus "Blue Sky", which became a radio staple. Album artwork was created by W. David Powell and J. F. Holmes at Wonder Graphics, and depicts the band's name on a peach truck, in addition to a large gatefold mural of mushrooms and fairies. The album's title came from a quote by Duane Allman: "You can't help the revolution, because there's just evolution ... Every time I'm in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace."

Issued as a double album in February 1972, Eat a Peach was an immediate success and peaked at number four on Billboard '​s Top 200 Pop Albums chart. The album was later certified platinum and remains a top seller in the band's discography.
