Original released on LP Capricorn CP 0116
(US, November 1973)
Recorded in
the same year as the "Brothers and Sisters" album, this solo debut release is a
beautiful amalgam of R&B, folk, and gospel sounds, with the best singing on
any of Gregg Allman's solo releases. He covers his own "Midnight
Rider" in a more mournful, dirge-like manner, and Jackson Browne's
"These Days" gets its most touching and tragic-sounding rendition as
well. Although Chuck Leavell and Jaimoe are here, there's very little that
sounds like the Allman Brothers Band - prominent guitars, apart from a few licks
by Tommy Talton (Cowboy, ex-We the People), are overlooked in favor of
gospel-tinged organ and choruses behind Allman's soulful singing.
