This signed sheet music is for Whipping Post by The Allman Brothers Band, autographed by founding member Gregg Allman. First released in 1969 on the band’s self-titled debut album, Whipping Post quickly became one of the Allman Brothers’ defining songs and a cornerstone of Southern rock. Written by Gregg Allman at just 21 years old, the song’s lyrics of torment, betrayal, and emotional pain resonated deeply with listeners. Its unusual 11/8 time signature, driving bass riff, and Gregg’s anguished, soulful vocals gave the track a raw power unlike anything else in rock at the time. While the studio version runs just over five minutes, Whipping Post grew into an epic centerpiece of the band’s live shows, often stretching beyond 20 minutes, as famously captured on their landmark 1971 album At Fillmore East. Gregg Allman (1947–2017) was the creative and emotional core of The Allman Brothers Band. Known for his smoky, blues-soaked voice and expressive Hammond B-3 organ work, Gregg infused songs like Whipping Post, Melissa, and Midnight Rider with both vulnerability and intensity. His songwriting combined the grit of the blues with the improvisational spirit of jazz and rock, helping to define the Southern rock genre. Whipping Post stands as perhaps his greatest artistic statement—a song that revealed the depth of his talent and became a lifelong anthem for both the band and its fans. Owning this signed sheet music for Whipping Post is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of rock history tied to one of Gregg Allman’s most iconic compositions. For fans of The Allman Brothers Band, admirers of Gregg’s artistry, and collectors of classic rock memorabilia, this artifact captures the passion, innovation, and emotional weight of one of the greatest songs in American rock.
