allman brothers

i dont know what & the hell i was thinking when i said greg allman on guitar,brain fart! i just bought a new pair of mcintosh xrt22 speakers & im discovering things in my collection that i havent gave a 2nd thought about in yrs.

i have a bunch of other allman bros but the thing that stuck in my craw with this 1 was the clear cut jazz influnce that is impressed on it.

lokie, i agree about gregs singing & also with your description of the band playing with the nimbleness of a jazz quartet,it amazes me that i have missed out on how great the allman bros are until now, i have allways loved their music but i never really considered them to be more than a good band, until now & i am currently smokin over my entire collection of them.

Duane, Greg and Warren were heavily influenced by John Coltrane and it shows in much of their music.

I've read that Duanne was obsessed with Davis's 'Kind of Blue."

kind of blue is a great album to be obsessed with its 1 of my all time greats.

Does anyone know of a source for Duane Allman Anthology Vol I on vinyl? I haven't seen it since the early 80's, so have had to settle for cd version (first one -- haven't heard the later 90's re-do), which actually isn't bad on my favorite track, Somebody Loan Me a Dime.

Ditto for the previously mentioned classic Laid Back. Lost my original copy decades ago, but the cd of this one just doesn't do it justice. Appreciate any sources anybody has for lp versions of these, either new or used.
