the original allmans
for sure its a rockin good time delivered as only the allman brotherws can give. this is the very best of the classic allmans 1969-1979,its perfect for those who only want one allman cd and are looking for a little more than a one cd collection.


2CD's That Are Not to be Missed: Great Allmans Work
You'll find it near impossible to hit the skip button. Just put it on & let it play. This brings us the Allmans in their 1970's prime. Dickie Betts, Duane Allman, it's all there. Some is studio, some live. From the classic long play "In memory of Elizabeth Reed" to the haunting sound of the beautifully arranged "Melissa. ". Being re-mastered, the slide guitar Allman sound comes through beautifully. Don't miss this one!.


Their Heydey
There is lots of great material on here that radio stations don't play for some reason. This is a fantastic 2 disc compilation of the Allman Brothers at their creative peak, the seventies. All I can say is put it on and let it play. You won't even have to hit the skip button through this stuff, it's all good. This is a great way to pick up their best material.


The Best Collection of this Classic Band!
Definitly one of the greatest collections of music ever!. If you want all the big hits, the essential live cuts, and everything in between.


Actually, a pretty good way to get into them (WARNING: LONG REVIEW)
And though there's simply no possible way that this can be (the Duane Allman records are ESSENTIAL), this is the best Allmans compilation I've seen so far. There are one too many Allmans compilations on the market, and Lord knows they all want to be the last word on the group. Interestingly, all this does is expand on A Decade of Hits, which is probably the best single-disc retrospective of the group out there. However, some weaker tracks were included, at the expense of some stronger ones. We'll start at the beginning.
Don't Want You No More and Blackhearted Woman were easily the two weakest songs on the debut - they should be pulled. But the other four selections off that album (It's Not My Cross to Bear; Trouble No More; Dreams and Whipping Post) are the four best, and should stay. Don't Keep Me Wonderin' (off the excellent Idlewild South) has a fun harmonica part, but is nothing special; Hoochie Coochie Man is a decent song, but I would've preferred the underrated Please Call Home. Midnight Rider and Revival are great tunes for sure, but the studio version of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is sorely missed (the live version from At Fillmore East, which is good but weaker, takes its place). Speaking of At Fillmore East, Statesboro Blues; Stormy Monday and Hot 'Lanta sure belong, but what about You Don't Love Me and Done Somebody Wrong? Okay, you COULD argue that You Don't Love Me is a bit too long for this compilation. Eh, At Fillmore East is indespensible in the first place. As is Eat a Peach, a must-have simply for the stunning Mountain Jam. And I don't see why they used a live version of Ain't Wastin' Time instead of the original, nor to I get why Stand Back was included - it's a funky little gem, but it's got nothing on the epic instrumental Les Brers in A Minor, which could've easily replaced it. They actually come close to getting it right with Brothers and Sisters. I never cared much for Ramblin' Man (to be honest, I think it's a headache), but it was a smash hit and it DID do a lot to shape the Southern Rock genre, no matter how much it sucks. The live Come and Go Blues is also a loser (the studio version's OK, though), but they could've picked MUCH worse songs from Brothers and Sisters. Plus it's got Jessica (the full version, no less!); Wasted Words and Southbound, which to be frank are the only songs on Brothers & Sisters that are worth a crap. They get it right with what they picked from Enlightened Rogues, though: there are a couple songs on that album that are missed, but Crazy Love; Pegasus and Can't Take It With You are the best tunes on that underrated disc.
You'll probably want to pick up Idlewild South; At Fillmore East and Eat a Peach (the best songs on the debut are all covered here, and you'll only get one new song) as well, but Gold is the best Allmans comp out there. .
