Key item features

Simply put, this is a compilation of most of the Allman Brothers Band's best-known tunes during their tenure with Capricorn. While it's disappointing that the studio version of "Whipping Post" appears in lieu of the live one from At Fillmore East, a just compensation is made by the inclusion of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from that historic recording. The other live cut here is the long version of "Jessica," from Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas, though the studio version might well have sufficed. For anyone who is looking for a single-disc Allman Brothers compilation, Icon might serve. That said, one has to wonder why the compilation producers chose songs from more erratic recordings such as Enlightened Rogues and the awful Win, Lose or Draw when more excellent material from Eat a Peach was there for the picking (i.e., "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," "Trouble No More," "Blue Sky"). That curious decision is troubling. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

About this item

Product details

2013 collection from the Southern Rock pioneers. The unique dynamic sound created by the two brothers (keyboardist and soulful vocalist Gregg and the late guitar-hero Duane) alongside the four other members of their seminal and influential Rock band, which relied on blues and country styles to embellish their music, is legendary. Among the first of several key Southern rock groups to evolve in the early '70 s and survive the many decades since their formation in 1969, the band epitomizes Classic Rock. Many of their contributions to the pantheon of Rock staples are found on this nine song Icon release. Whether it's the simple pop sound of 'Ramblin' Man' to the anthem-like 'Whipping Post' and 'Midnight Rider,' their dual-guitar interplay, dual drumming and the gutsy vocals of Gregg easily help identify the group's music. And it's also their Jazz-influenced instrumentals like 'Jessica' and 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,' the latter written by Dickey Betts, the group's other renowned guitarist, that are timeless favorites of their fans of all ages.
