I’ve always objected to the Allmans being described as “southern rock”, because they’re so much more,I.e., blues, jazz, etc.

This ^^^^ I agree with. The ABB had a wider range of musical stylings, from straight on blues (Stormy Monday, Statesboro Blues) to beautiful acoustic instrumentals (Little Martha) and when Duane and Dicky were hitting the note there wasn’t any jam band before or since that could hang with their melodic intensity.
