Music reviews of Where It All Begins

Music Review: Overlooked 1990s gem
Rating: 4 Stars

This album is far better than it has a right to be. First is the guitar pyrotechnics. There are great guitar duels and fills on this record! After 15 years, this album is no longer new. Yet it shines brightly as the last studio album with Dickey Betts. And his contributions are monumental, with the fantastic title track Where it All Begins and the also great song Everybody's Got a Mountain to Climb. I really think the vocal blends on that song are pushing it to +11 on the dial. It is great stuff.

This could have been a mediocre album at this stage in their career. You can call this record second class if you really want to. But it's going to defy you. The standard of songwriting is too high. The tracks all have an atmosphere that is too good. Maybe it ain't great art but it is a really solid record... and with Betts there is no denying the direct link to Allmans history. It's a victory over the excuses of old age. Instead you get the best songs they possibly could have written. And the recording is very nice mix by Tom Dowd, their original Fillmore East mixer and producer. The album was recorded live in the studio.

Description of Where It All Begins

The popular aphorism that "there are no second acts in America" has been contradicted by the surprising reincarnation of the Allman Brothers Band after highway deaths, drug trials and artistic lethargy hammered more than one nail in the group's coffin. After breaking up in '81, the four surviving original members, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe, reunited for a 20th anniversary tour in 1989. The results were so unexpectedly good that the band decided to stick together and have released their fourth post-reunion album, Where It All Began. Why did the Allmans' reunion succeed where so many rock and roll reunions have flopped? The Allmans' concept hasn't changed, but like the jazz and blues legends they admire, they play a little differently each time. --Geoffrey Himes
