Free Music Review: (4.5 stars) A NEW BEGINNING ! (Warren Haynes joins the brotherhood and the ABB takes flight again)
Hit: 5 Stars
Seven Turns (1990) was the last comeback album from the Allman Brothers Band. It's also the last time they've needed to comeback. They've been going strong ever since. What a comeback this was for us long time ABB fans who had all but lost hope in the desolate 1980s! Now, eighteen years and a few more excellant albums later, Seven Turns has lost a little of it's initial luster. In 1990, it was utterly fantastic. In 2008, it's a very good album that has a couple of great songs.
The title song is an excellant Dickey Betts acoustic/electric guitar ballad that makes ABB magic and has become an Allman Brothers Band classic. Good Clean Fun is a rocking romp with great swagger, mean guitars, a screeching harmonica, and Gregg Allman's gritty and gravelly growl. Those two are great songs, the best on Seven Turns.
Gambler's Roll is an exceptional atmospheric blues-ballad where Allman's golden-throated blues singing is spotlighted. Warren Haynes steps up as the lead singer on his blues-rocker Loaded Dice. Of course, there's the usual ABB instrumental, the jazzy True Gravity, and it's a winner, too. I also like the southern rocker Shine It On. Gregg Allman sings the optimistic Dickey Betts/Warren Haynes lyrics.
I've had my troubles
I know you've had your troubles, too
Sometimes when you need a little sunshine
It keeps raining down on you
But I'm not gonna let it get me down
Keep on pullin', things are gonna come around
Shine It On
The Allman Brothers Band really got back to form with Seven Turns and started what would become their new beginning. It's a good album, one that long-time fans will remember as the rebirth of the ABB. While not quite as good as any of the "Duane Era" albums, it's as close as they had come in a long time. And that's really saying something.
Seven Turns Poster
Not many expected this legendary outfit to have any pulse at all by 1990, much less a pulse throbbing so mightily. Fiery new lead and slide guitarist Warren Haynes is as suitable a replacement for Duane as you're likely to find, and new bassist Allen Woody takes a back seat to no one. Clearly, the new kids rejuvenated the weary veterans on this excellent offering, which kicks off the Allmans' second classic period. Seven Turns finds the band returning to form with its unmistakable twin-lead instrumentals, abrasive blues rock, and even the sunny Betts ballads. --Marc GreilsamerClassic Rock Music CDs
