Free Music Notes for Eat a Peach
Free Music Review: incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
There's a lot of people who like to dismiss southern rock without even giving it a chance. It's really amazing how close-minded people can be. If they ever heard the Allman Brothers Band (particularly the classic period) they'd grow to appreciate southern rocks best moments.
This is a brilliant band. It's not often I use the word "brilliant" because it's a word that only deserves to be used when it's entirely appropriate. In this case, I feel completely comfortable using it.
I was surprised while listening to Eat a Peach how many songs I had already recognized. "Ain't Wasting Time No More" is a perfect blend of rock and blues. In fact, that's one of the greatest things about this band. They are really good at knowing how to blend the blues with rock and roll. "Les Brers In a Minor" is a great instrumental with a dramatic and intense 3-minute introduction. It eventually progresses into some highly spectacular instrumental guitar and drums sections.
Everyone knows how beautiful the vocal melody and guitar work sounds on "Melissa". The greatest ballad ever written. "Mountain Jam" is a ROLLER-COASTER 34-minute jam that even features a drum solo around the halfway point. The guitar playing is the highlight of the song though- always melodic, exciting and detailed.
"One Way Out" is a return to blues rock, and this version of "Trouble No More" rules in the same way as the version on the debut studio album.
"Blue Sky" is my favorite song on the album. That's a fact. The beautiful vocal melody which starts the song and the spectacular guitar jamming immediately afterwards really adds up to one completely satisfying experience. I dare anyone who claims to hate southern rock to hate this song. "Little Martha" is a calm and pretty way to end a near-perfect album. "Stand Back" was the only song I didn't recognize before hearing this great album. Buy it today.
Eat a Peach Poster
Having firmly established themselves as "The Grateful Dead of the South" via their enormously successful 1971 Live at the Fillmore East double album, the Allman Brothers had just begun work on a new studio collection when slide guitarist Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Undaunted, the group rallied together and completed Eat a Peach, which, via inclusion of the 34-minute-plus "Mountain Jam," blossomed into a double LP. While keyboardist-singer Gregg Allman shone on tracks like Sonny Boy Williamson's "One Way Out" and his own "Melissa," it was second guitarist Dickey Betts who came out from under the departed Allman's shadow with his lead vocal on "Blue Sky" and his incendiary playing throughout. --Billy AltmanNot the Remastered Version.
