Music reviews of Enlightened Rogues

Music Review: COMEBACK ! (The Allmans regroup)
Rating: 4 Stars

Enlightened Rogues (1979) was the Allman Brothers Band's first studio album in four years, and it featured a new lineup and new start for the band. It's a strong album with two ABB classics, Crazy Love and Just Ain't Easy. Crazy Love is an exuberant Dickey Betts rocker, full of energetic slide guitar and wild romantic fun. Just Ain't Easy is Gregg Allman's slow and winding, world weary lament of too many wasted nights out on the town. The song's autobiographical heartfelt realization is quite compelling, and an example of Gregg's best songwriting.

Lovely ladies all dressed in silk and lace
While you're there, it seems like such a lovely place
But when you leave there, you've got your hat down on your face
Well, well

Other highlights include the blues-rocker Can't Take It With You, the substantial instrumental Pegasus, and Try It One More Time, a song where Gregg and Dickey co-sing dramatic shout-and-answer lead vocals. They visit the blues with the slow Need Your Love So Bad and the potent Blind Love, and Gregg turns in convincing vocal performances on both. With guitarist Dangerous Dan Toler added to the lineup, the Allmans return to their twin guitar sound, and it's a welcome revival. This was to be their last album on Capricorn Records before the label went bankrupt, and the band signed on with Arista Records. Enlightened Rogues (also Duane Allman's nickname for the band) is a solid album with some good songs, but it's not in the same league with anything from the Duane Era. On the other hand, nothing else is, either.
