A pair of Gregg Allman reissues are due next month.

The late rocker's 1973 solo debut, Laid Back, and his 1974 live album, The Gregg Allman Tour, will be released on CD, digital and vinyl on Aug. 30.

Laid Back, which includes Allman's hit version of "Midnight Rider," arrives as part of a two-CD Deluxe Edition that fills out the first disc with early mixes of all eight songs. A second disc contains Allman's demos, outtakes, rough mixes and a solo live version of the Allman Brothers Band's "Melissa" recorded at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., on April 13, 1974.

While promoting Laid Back, Allman performed two nights at New York's Carnegie Hall and a third at the Capitol Theatre with a 24-piece orchestra and the band Cowboy. Highlights from those dates were released on The Gregg Allman Tour, which has been out of print on vinyl since 1987.

In addition to songs from Laid Back and Allman Brothers classics like "Dreams" and "Stand Back," Allman covered "Turn on Your Love Light" and "I Feel So Bad" on the album. Cowboy, which featured Allman Brothers Band keyboardist Chuck Leavell, also perform two songs, "Time Will Take Us" and "Where Can You Go?"

You can check out the track listings below. Pre-ordering Laid Back comes with an immediate download of Allman's demo version of Jackson Browne's "These Days," which you can also listen to below.
