Free Music Review: explores all the allman's musical sides
Hit: 5 Stars
this cd is one of my top 3 allman brothers albums. every type of music the allmans have played thru their career is on this cd. straight out southern rock (ramblin man) blues (come and go blues) a classsic instumental (jessica). their trademark trading guitars are not here (this was the first studio album without duane allman) but chuck leavell does more than excellent trading with dicky betts. no, its not duane and not the same, but it works. listen to it straight thru and you will find an excellant work. (just in case you didn't know what happened to chuck leavell, he is now the rolling stones pianist)Free Music Review: Ghost of Duane makes this another masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
Eat a Peach is the best, but this is still 5-star perfection. How they pulled off the magic without Duane (and Barry Oakley for half of it!) will remain a mystery for eternity. Every song is a masterpiece, but Jessica alone makes it worth it! The Allman's last truly perfect recording.Free Music Review: the new allmans at their peak
Hit: 5 Stars
Ok, no duane. no berry. but man! what an album. Jessica is the best song i have ever heard. ramblin man is...ramblin man, also one of my all time (top 3) favorites. Southbound rocks in a way that only the band that brought one way out, jessica, ramblin man, and mountain jam can. every other song is very very good filler material, but not quite to the extent that the three previous studio albums were. this album has some of the best songs the allmans ever came out with, but they are quite different than the original band, more country than their earlier blues period-when duane was around. this is a MUST HAVE for an allman brothers fan, but after you get "eat a peach", "beginnings", and "the fillmore concerts". Overall, it is their fourth best album, but better than 99% of the stuff that other bands put out. i say that this is the new allmans at their peak because they will use this style for the next decade and a half. when they reemerge in the 1990's, they go back to their blues roots, though it is not as good as anything they made before 1975.
Free Music Review: Wasted Words
Hit: 5 Stars
I enjoy the music on this album very much. Duane Allman had been the leader of this band until his untimely death. His brother, Gregg was left to pick up the pieces and keep the band going. In addition, Berry Oakley died during the making of this album, appearing on only the first two tracks. Against such adversity the band develops one of the defining albums of 1973. Gregg Allman really does hold his own with superb playing and by contributing two great songs true to the tradition of the Blues. JELLY, JELLY is a soulfull tune influenced by T Bone Walker and the Chicago Blues. It is Richard "Dickey" Betts who really comes up with the goods by stepping forward with a bona-fide hit, RAMBLIN' MAN, and the remainder of the songs as well as playing guitar which now defines Southern Rock. Whether he is playing Dobro in the style of the Mississippi Blues Singers on PONY BOY, or a firey lead on SOUTHBOUND, trading licks with Les Dudek while singing on RAMBLIN' MAN, it is Betts who defines the sound of this Allman Brothers' CD. JESSICA is possibly one of the best travelling songs ever written, and it is Dickey Betts' melodic, distinctly southern guitar playing that will stick in my mind as I fondly remember this CD. Anything else I would write would just be WASTED WORDS. If you are interested in US Southern Rock of the early seventies, or in great guitar music which is based on American Folk Blues, this CD will be interesting to you.Free Music Review: it is good but its not, the same without duane
Hit: 4 Stars
its a good effort but you can tell theres no duane`,i give the allman brothers credit for doing such an awsome album without duane allman but its not as good as live at the fillmore or ludlow garage
