His subsequent solo releases, including the live album The Gregg Allman Tour (1974), Playin' Up a Storm (1977), and the collaboration Two the Hard Way (1977) with Cher, did not fare well on charts or in sales.

In 1987, he was signed to Epic Records, and his third solo album, I'm No Angel, went gold on the strength of its title track.

His next two solo albums, Just Before the Bullets Fly (1988) and Searching for Simplicity (1997), did not perform well.

His final studio album released during his lifetime, Low Country Blues (2011), represented his biggest chart positions, including at number five in the US.

On 28 October 2021, Sony Music Publishing announced it had signed a global agreement with Gregg Allman's estate to administer its catalog of songs.
