Product description

The

Amazon.com

With their dueling guitar leads and harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, the Allman Brothers Band cast the mold for the southern rock sound that would proliferate in the '70s. Virtuoso musicians, their songs drew upon a number of southern influences, including country, the blues, New Orleans jazz, and even gospel, creating a sound that was distinctly theirs. Decade of Hits is a great catalog of the Allman's at their guitar wielding best. The sweet, infectious harmonies on the instrumental "Jessica" have become a classic reference point in themselves. Next to the tragedies that plagued them--two motorcycle deaths, heroin addiction--the Allman's are probably best known for the heroic "Ramblin' Man." Written and sung by the now legendary Dickey Betts, the song contained everything that made the band great: intricate guitar harmonies, a strong melody, and just enough twang to keep the thing tight. Decade also contains Allman staples "Melissa," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," and "Southbound." --Steve Gdula

ALLMAN BROS ROCK MY SOCKS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Stars
ALLMAN BROS ROCK MY SOCKS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is pretty much a perfect greatest hits album all the way through. they got the hits on it, and they also got some interesting tracks as well. rankings for songs are as follows (1-16, 1 best, etc.)1. whipping post2. jessica3. statesboro blues4. in memory of liz reed5. one way out6. midnight rider7. ramblin' man8. dreams9. little martha10. ain't wastin' time no more11. blue sky12. melissa13. revival14. wasted words15. southbound16. crazy loveagain, this is my opinion, and every single one of these songs is excellent, whether from the duane + dickey combo (statesboro blues, whipping post), or dickey's later years (jessica, ramblin' man)"decade 69-79" is such a great album for any blues/rock fan. -->HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!<-- especially if you're new to the blues-rock scene. allman bros. are only topped by lynyrd skynyrd in this genre. (i hope i don't get railed on for that last statement :)...)BUY IT NOW... and ENJOY!!!peace out

Great CD, brand new condition, and if you'd like the Allman Brothers, make sure you hear Devon Allman and Duane Betts. You'll be very happy.

Very good cross-section of Allman's music over the years . Very good sound texture

Great list of Allman Brothers songs. CD plays well but gave it 4 stars because the jewel case was destroyed. Not sure if the damage occurred in shipment (packed in plastic baggie envelope with no padding) or if that's why it was half off. Still satisfied with purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Allman Brothers CD
Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2024
This is a must in your CD collection if your into classic rock and blues. The Allman Brothers were one of the best bands at the time (and still the best music in my books) from Duane 's slide guitar and lead guitar to Gregg's amazing vocals - It's so sad that both Allman brothers and their bass player are no longer with us. but you'll enjoy this CD. Fast delivery.

Compilation des meilleurs titres de l'ABB pendant leur première décennie. Un disque indispensable pour celui qui veut découvrir le groupe sans acheter toute la discographie. Le fan pourra s'en passer car il connait déjà...
