Devon Allman’s Honeytribe (Relix Revisited)

Being the son of Gregg and the nephew of Duane, Devon Allman, on some level, must have been eternally curious about music as a youngster. But before his father even became a part of his life, he was morphing into a music freak: “In high school, I had a little boom box in my locker, and if I could squeeze in 45 seconds of a Van Halen song in between classes, I was doing it,” he laughs. Now 31, the Texas-born, Missouri-bred vocalist/guitarist has survived a string of soul-killing day jobs (silk screener, insurance salesman, etc.) to carry on the family tradition full-time with his band, Honeytribe, whose new Torch conjures the would-be offspring of Dickey Betts and Edwin McCain, its lone guitar instrumental marking the disc’s apex. Says Allman, “It’s really about accepting and embracing who I am, where I come from and where I want to go.”
