Most southern musicians would rather stay south of the Mason Dixon line between November and May. Not Gregg Allman.  The founding brother of the Allman Brothers Band is packing his sleigh for a tour with his solo band that includes a dozen Northeast dates in the dead of winter.  Gregg says he's looking forward to the touring in colder latitudes because 'that is where it's happening in winter, and I love playing up there.'  Allman is also upbeat about his new solo album, which he recently finished recording in LA.  His first studio disc of new solo material since 1997, the as yet untitled album due in April has 14 blues based songs. He calls it 'way, way far the best' album he has done on his own.
