  • Overall:

    Essential

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 14, 2001

    The thing that still floors me is that this was their first album! The maturity of the playing, arranging, and especially, Gregg Allman's writing, is something even the best bands out there spent years trying to get to and never came close.Kicking o...ff with the classis "DWYNM/INMCTB" just blows you away. "Blackhearted Woman" and "Trouble No More" are classic. The original "Whipping Post" isn't quite the 22 minute Fillmore version, but it is still as firery as anything to come out from a major rock band.The real highlight on the album is "Dreams." It could be their greatest song ever with unparalelled performances from Gregg and especially Duane's slide guitar. No Allman fan should be without this album. Read more Less

    This might be the best debut album ever delivered by an American blues band, a bold, powerful, hardedged, soulful essay in electric blues with a native Southern ambience. Some lingering elements of the psychedelic era then drawing to a close can be found in "Dreams," along with the template for the group's onstage workouts with "Whipping Post," and a solid cover of Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More." There isn't a bad song here, and only the fact that the group did even better the next time out keeps this from getting the highest possible rating.
