(Radio.com) On the heels of the Allman Brothers Band's final gig, the group's leader and namesake, Gregg Allman has just announced his next solo tour. Kicking off on New Year's Eve at Atlanta's Symphony Hall, the tour will last through Jan. 17.

And there may be a lot more to come from Allman in 2015; in a recent interview, he told Radio.com that he is mulling two new albums. The first would be a follow-up to 2011's Low Country Blues, which was produced by T Bone Burnett and featured mostly blues covers. He also mentioned that he's planning to cut an album called All Compositions By Gregg Allman with Don Was, where he'll re-record some of his favorite songs that he's written through his career.

His backing group includes Allman Brothers Band percussionist Marc Quinones, but the band itself is rather different than the ABB, with just one guitarist (instead of two), one drummer (instead of two) and a three piece horn section.
