Ormai non più solo figlio d'arte, ma un musicista con un proprio carattere, sempre in movimento e coinvolto in mille progetti, Devon Allman si muove tra rock, psichedelia e blues chitarristico sviscerando l'eredità del padre Gregg. Blues Summit è una riunione collaborativa che vede la band dell'artista llargata da musicisti di livello come Christone Kingfish Ingram, Larry McCray, Sierra Green e Jim Hall. Blues Summit è un disco in cui la qualità non manca.
