- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Capricorn Records. During the 1970s, Phil Walden's Capricorn Records made Macon a haven for southern music, specifically for a genre known as "southern rock." Capricorn's successes and failures can be directly attributed to the relationship between Phil Walden and the members of the Allman Brothers Band, particularly Duane Allman. Other Capricorn recording artists included Elvin Bishop, Bonnie Bramlett, Cowboy, the Charlie Daniels Band, the Dixie Dregs, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Wet Willie.
