The ABB borrowed very heavily from the Illinois Speed Press, as did Skynyrd. The Allman Joys opened for the ISP on a string of shows in early 1969 and brought the ISP album with them to Jacksonville in March. I got this info directly from Kal David of the ISP and Jeff Carlisi of .38 Special. Look up two songs by the ISP, “Hard Luck Story” and “PNS” and you’ll understand.
