allman brothers

I Like it, too. The guys have cleaned themselves up at long last. Sad how many think it is the drugs that give them talent when they already have talent and merely destroy it with the drugs. Anyway, the guitar work on that album is mainly Warren Haynes and some of the very best is by Derek Trucks (nephew of drummer Butch Trucks). His style reminds me hauntingly of Duane Allman.

Try their at The Fillmore East CD.The Best Live Rock Album ever!!Duanne Allman and Dicky Betts give All Guitar Players some lessons!Talk'in About Must have.....Warren Haynes of Gov't Mule does most of the lead Guitar on Hittin the note album,On The Life before Insanity cd by The Gov't Mule,There's a little o'song called "No Need to Suffer".It's Their "Whipping Post"and They will tie you to it!His guitar solo on this is absolutly unbelivable,One of his best ever and thats saying a lot.Prepare your head for this stuff,My Friend this is...The BIG TIME!!Let me know...JD

Give a listen to their "One Way Out" live release from the Beacon Theater run of '03. There is a DVD "One Way Out" also, very good. Both the cd and dvd releases are good mixtures of old and new songs.

All I can say is that if you guys love the CD's you should hear the original mint vinyl on a good rig. Let me tell you, I've heard both and there is NO contest. Not always the absolute case (this is not a CD/LP debate flame), but it is so with Allman material. "Eat a Peach" and "Live at Fillmore"? Incredible.

To anyone who likes the Allmans - do not overlook this often overlooked album - Greg Allman: "Laid Back". It was produced and recorded just after the death of Duane and is, at once, spiritual, uplifting, introspective, and downright sad. Well worth a listen.

Who is coming to NYC to see the Bros in March. We can hook up then?

Happy Listening.
