Brothers and Sisters

From: $5.99

Their first full studio album without guitarist Duane, 1973's Brothers and Sisters doesn't match what came before it but would probably be considered a masterpiece if it came from most other bands. The Allman(s) move away from their rougher blues rock toward a groovier Southern rock, a shift that reflects the increased influence of Dickey Betts and new pianist Chuck Leavell. Betts contributes chestnuts such as "Ramblin' Man," "Southbound," and the classic instrumental "Jessica," plus the acoustic finale "Pony Boy," which showcases his work on Dobro. Gregg's impact is not nearly what it once was, although his "Come and Go Blues" and "Jelly Jelly" hit the mark. Original bassist Berry Oakley passed away during these sessions and is heard on just two cuts. --Marc Greilsamer

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 23, 2008 Type: User Review Excellent Album. Lots of jamming.

I bought this album a couple of years ago, and I believe it is the greatest Southern Rock album out there. Lots of jamming from guitarist Dickie Betts. Ramblin Man is one of my favorite songs ever made (along with Stairway to Heaven, Echoes,...

This Allman Brothers album contains 2 of their probably best known tunes, Ramblin' Man and Jessica (named after Dickey Bett's daughter). Dickey or Richard Betts as he is listed so formally in the liner notes had to take over as the true lead...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 08, 2008 Type: User Review Allman Brothers, "Brothers and Sisters"

Their concert at Fillmore East is their best and infact probably the best live album ever recorded. If you're looking for a Fillmore East continued, you'll be disappointed. But If you know going in that there'll be a country flavor to some...

I love this album. Any band that suffered the losses that the Allman Brothers did would have folded, and those that didn't would have come out with a product that sounded familiar but was clearly inferior and was nothing more than a desperate...

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 13, 2007 Type: User Review This is not exactly their best album.

That's about all I can say about it. I listened to it once through and the only redeeming song on it is Jessica. The others are pretty mediocre.
