The Allman Brothers Band-BEGINNINGS-CD - 1973/2003

For once, a record label actually gives us more bang for the buck, combining two indisputable classics - 1969s self-titled debut and the 1970 follow-up Idlewild South - onto one glorious CD. Five urgent notes kick off Spencer Daviss "Dont Want You No More", and by the time that searing instrumental morphs into Gregg Allmans superb slow blues "Its Not My Cross to Bear", its clear these Georgians mean business. Everyone talks of the Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon covers, furious twin leads of Duane and Dickey Betts, Greggs soulful voice and formidable organ, percussion attack of Jaimoe and Butch Trucks, but what about the songwriting skills? Just start with "Cross to Bear", "Whipping Post", "Dreams", "Revival", "Elizabeth Reed" - are you kidding? These two records blend gritty blues, Southern soul, and psychedelic rock into an exciting creation, and they serve notice: Allmans will contend for the title of best American rock & roll band.
