Free Music Notes for A Decade of Hits 1969-1979
Free Music Review: Classic southern rock at its best!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is classical southern rock at its best. Get some Skynyrd and Allman Brothers music going and you're in for a good time. The Allman Brothers' distinctive music is a culmination of southern blues rock, jazz and a little country. Though, I have several Allman Brother's CD's, this is the best, because its loaded with 15+ of all the old favorite tracks.Free Music Review: All Of The Allman Brothers Band's Greatest Hits!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Allman Brothers band have provided me with constant accompaniment to my life for almost three decades now, and I remember hearing the echoes of "Blue Sky" wafting into the rafters at my wedding long ago, and I have felt more at home when listening to it on a Sony Walkman in strange motel rooms all over the country when traveling on business? It seems to be a permanent part of my life, like Sgt Pepper or Bookends. This is a collection of their best efforts over a decade, a spellbinding and fairly complete collection from an under appreciated band at their very best. Whether it is for the matchless "Blue Sky', or for the blockbuster sound of "Ain't Wasting Time No More", this is an album so terrific, you will play it again and again. With the ecstatic guitar duels and their matchless harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, they set the standard for pop excellence for the flood of terrific southern rock that emanated out of the South in the 1970s. Their songs draw on influences ranging from country, blues, jazz, and gospel, but the sound they produce is uniquely the Allmans'. I especially like their guitar instrumentals. Gregg Allman and Dicky Betts perform absolutely magically here, and it is all captured for your endless amusement and entertainment. From "Rambling Man" to "Jessica", "Midnight Rider" to "Wasted Words", and "Statesboro Blues" to "One Way Out", the Allman Bothers Band always pleases, and this terrific set of their best is sure to make you smile and bring back a lot of pleasant memories. Enjoy!Free Music Review: A great best of from a great band
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD delivers just what it is titled - 'A Decade of Hits'. All Allmans fans like me found this to fall short of being a CD that captured *all* that they were, however this was not the intention of this CD (get the 'Dreams' box set instead). This puppy simply reminds us of the great influence that they had on the music of the time - and still do today to some degree. All of the songs can be appreciated by Allman fans as well as ones new to the Allmans - and should be a staple in all of your collections!!On the CD - I was impressed that they included a lot of things that were not explicit 'hits' (according to Billboard), and love the inclusion of a lot thier 'early stuff' without compromising on the 'big' hits. Overall, this is a surprisingly great CD from the category of 'boy I wish that best-of had this on it'.
Free Music Review: HITS????? Nahhhhhh....But the CD is A hit.
Hit: 5 Stars
If you only define HITS as being the ones that sold well and still are played on the "OLDIES" radio stations, then the only hits are RAMBLIN' MAN & MIDNIGHT RIDER. The problem is that you have listen to ALL of this CD to really appreciate it. Listen to what it is...Blues, Southern Rock, Red-neck Boogie...Now play it again...but louder...and FEEL what it is!!!
