Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731453126121 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Island / Mercury Manufacturer: Island / Mercury MPN: 531261 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island / Mercury Release Date: October 14, 1997 Studio: Island / Mercury Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Having firmly established themselves as "The Grateful Dead of the South" via their enormously successful 1971 Live at the Fillmore East double album, the Allman Brothers had just begun work on a new studio collection when slide guitarist Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Undaunted, the group rallied together and completed Eat a Peach, which, via inclusion of the 34-minute-plus "Mountain Jam," blossomed into a double LP. While keyboardist-singer Gregg Allman shone on tracks like Sonny Boy Williamson's "One Way Out" and his own "Melissa," it was second guitarist Dickey Betts who came out from under the departed Allman's shadow with his lead vocal on "Blue Sky" and his incendiary playing throughout. --Billy Altman Album Details: Not the Remastered Version.

If they ever heard the Allman Brothers Band (particularly the classic period) they'd grow to appreciate southern rocks best moments. This is a brilliant band. It's not often I use the word "brilliant" because it's a word that only deserves to be used when it's entirely appropriate. In this case, I feel completely comfortable using it.

THEIR SWAN SONG.When Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident, The Allman Brothers Band decided that he would have wanted them to soldier on. And that, they did. Eat a Peach (1972) was released about four months after Duane's death. It contains songs recorded in the studio with Duane, unreleased live performances with Duane from the historic Fillmore concerts, and new songs recorded without Duane. Every song is a classic and fan favorite. The new songs kick off the album with the upbeat Ain't ... Read More |
