Allgood was originally called the Allgood Music Company. The band was
based out of Athens, GA. Through constant touring, the band grew a
following in the southeastern United States. Constantly changing set
lists and additions of new songs appealed to the masses.
The band created a demo tape of original songs entitled "Reel to Real".
Taking only one day to record all 8 songs, the band used this for
promotion to get gigs at bars and colleges. Next up was a 45 rpm called
"Meat Salad". Meat Salad was sent to the college radio stations
looking for more exposure.
In 1991, the band recorded "Ride the Bee". Ride the Bee consisted of a
few re-recorded songs found on "Reel to Real" and a few new songs. Most
notably is the epic song "Trilogy". This is Allgood's Freebird.
In 1993, the band was signed to A&M records. The band came out with
another CD called 'Uncommon Goal'. This album included songs that the
band was already including in their live shows. One of the great
things that Allgood did was to always include new songs.
As a follow-up to Uncommon Goal, the band put out a live album called
"Kickin' and Screamin'. This highlighted songs from Ride the Bee and
Uncommon Goal along with two unreleased songs, Blood and Sugar Sweet.
Allgood were consumate songwriters. They were constantly evolving their
songs. You can see the evolution of their songs from "Reel to Real" to
"Ride the Bee". The band was also co-headlining the HORDE tour,
increasing their exposure to the masses.
The band officially called it quits in late 1995. Recently the band has
decided to perform a reunion show at the Georgia Theatre in Athens. The
"Theatre", as it is referred to by Georgia natives is considered home to
Allgood. This reunion will take place April 8th, 2006 and will feature
original band members Mike Sain on bass, Corky Jones singing lead and
playing rhythm guitar, and Clay Fuller on lead guitar. To complete the
line up, John and Noel Felty from Jupiter Coyote will be sitting in on
guitar and drums.
2010 the band reforms with the original three: Jones, Fuller and Sain to
be joined by Noel Felty on drums and Neal Lucas on guitar.
