Music reviews of Decade of Hits 1969-79
Music Review: A great collection of signature songs from a great American band
Rating: 5 Stars
The Allman Brothers Band epitomizes just how much Southern rock has become part of the American music history. They were the first one the scene to put together many different musicial influences to come up with a rock sound that differed from the blues-rock bands that came out of the UK during the 60's and all the way through the mid-70's. Taking their influences from such diverse southern music styles as gospel, jazz, bluegrass, country and, most of all, the root of all that is rock: the blues. Helping pioneer the dueling lead guitarists (Thin Lizzy had also started using this style of guitar arrangement), The Allman Brothers Band had what many consider two of the best rock guitarist who ever picked up the instrument in Duane Allman and Dicky Betts. As great a player as Betts was the band and its sound would be known throughout by the slide-guitar work of Duane with his brother Gregg Allman fronting the band and its well-written tunes.
Throughout this album collection are the many works of the band from its beginnings up to and past the death of the great Duane Allman. His great blues sound in "Midnight Rider", "Whipping Post", and "Statesboro Blues" makes this album a must for blues fans and those wanting to get to know the band for the very first time. Duane Allman's final piece before his untimely death in 1971 is an instrumental duel between himself and Dicky Betts in the great "Little Martha". There's more great works from the band even after Duane's death with "Ramblin' Man" being their most successful. But in the end, the band was Duane Allman and even with the rest of the band doing great work afterwards, the sound was never the same.
A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 is a great album compilation for people new to The Allman Brothers Band and willing to check out their best and well-known work. Once they've gone through this album then they're more than ready to check out the full albums from which the selections were taken from.
