Product Description

CD Description

The Allman Brothers Band debut album, like the following three records made by the original Allman Brothers lineup (which included the late Duane Allman and Berry Oakley), is pretty essential stuff. Included here are all of the elements that would make LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST one of the greatest live records ever: Duane's searing guitar playing, Gregg's hoarse, soulful vocals and poetic blues songwriting (both "Dreams" and "Whipping Post", two of his best, are here), and the near-telepathic interplay among all six members of the band.
In addition to showcasing the band's fine musicianship, and laying down an undeniable series of soulful, hard-edged blues grooves, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND may be the founding document of Southern rock. The Allmans' pioneered the sound of twin electric lead guitars in rock (they got the idea from Bob Wills), and were probably the first to use two drummers. On these earliest recordings they remain a world away from the stars 'n' bars posturing of their musical descendants. This is true, enduring American music.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4½ stars. A terrific debut album , 9 Jan 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
For the first half of the 1970s, the Allman Brothers Band was the most influential rock and blues group in America, setting new standarts for live performances with their twenty-thirty-forty minute jams.
At first, they were an almost pure blues band, and this 1969 album features some of their best and most powerful blues tunes, including "It's Not My Cross To Bear" and the classic "Whipping Post".

The late Duane Allman was a masterful guitarist, his playing versatile and tasteful, and younger brother Gregg Allman's vocals are soulful and confident. This is almost "The Gregg Allman Brothers Band", actually; all five original songs are written by the younger Allman brother, who also takes all the lead vocals.
The dual lead guitar onslaught of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts wasn't yet quite as developed at this point as it would be just a year later, at least not in the studio, but there is still plenty of instrumental highlights to be found, including some sizzling slide guitar playing on a tight, muscular cover of the prewar blues classic "Trouble No More" (mistakenly credited to Muddy Waters, who played it, but certainly didn't write it. It is probably about the same age as Muddy).

Some may find this music to be overly indulgent, particularly the slightly psychedelic seven-minute "Dreams", and it is true that a few of of the Allman Brothers' songs would have benefitted from tighter arrangements. But most of what is here is excellent. A powerful rhythm section which at times sounds like it is barely kept under control. Some blistering lead guitar. Gregg Allman's swirling organ. And a very convincing batch of songs, including several classic tunes which are still part of the group's set today, forty years later.
A fine, fine debut, and there were even better things to come.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whipping up a storm, 6 Nov 2008
By D. J. H. Thorn "davethorn13" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The Allman Brothers first few albums are essential for collectors of blues-based rock music. The band blow hot from the first searing notes of lead guitar on 'Don't Want You No More'. This instrumental segues into 'It's Not My Cross To Bear', with virtuoso cameos shared out. What is most impressive is how they maintain a compelling intensity and seething energy across the album. 'Trouble No More', the album's halfway house provides a little relief from this, but the last three tracks pick up the mood again, each distinctive from everything else. The organ-led 'Dreams' is strongly atmospheric and 'Whipping Post' tops everything off superbly. At just thirty-three minutes, this album leaves you hungry for more, which brings us to Idlewild South...

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT!!, 5 July 2007
Absolutely brilliant and great value as well. I could be biased because I am a big fan of the band, however, I cannot imagine anyone not being totally thrilled with this cd.
