Mesh Match For "Eat A Peach" CD by The Allman Brothers Band:


The Allman Brothers Band Artist Snapshot:

They're known as the founding fathers of Southern rock, but the Allman Brothers were actually much more progressive than the musical school they inspired. They reclaimed the US-influenced blues-rock of Cream et al. and brought it back to America, adding country and jazz touches. They were noted for their improvisatory skills, particularly the inspired dual-guitar work of Dickey Betts and the late Duane Allman. Even after the deaths of Duane and original bassist Berry Oakey and the departure of Betts, the band soldiered on strongly into the 21st century, led by founding singer/organist Gregg Allman.

Review

Rolling Stone (4/13/72, p.62) - "...typically, the whole band merges into one organism, one master musician with 30 fingers and six instruments to play on..."
Spin (p.87) - 5 starts out of 5 -- "[A] sometimes somber, sometimes epic astral-boogie elegy."
Q (p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The mellow country vibes of 'Blue Sky' and 'Melissa' are nice..."

Title Note

The Allman Brothers Band: Gregg Allman (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, organ); Dickey Betts, Duane Allman (guitar); Berry Oakley (bass guitar); Jai Johanny Johanson (drums, congas); Butch Trucks (drums, percussion).

Recording information: Filmore East, New York, New York; Criteria Recording Studios, Miami, FL.

Released shortly after the death of guitar legend Duane Allman, EAT A PEACH occupies an important transitional spot in the Allman Brothers' discography. The leading three tracks, recorded after Duane's death, point the way toward the band's future. While still rooted in the group's blues-jam roots, these songs show the Allmans angling closer to the melodic country style that was guitarist Dicky Betts's forte. Betts acquits himself well on the opening "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," deftly handling a slide-guitar part that cannot help but evoke the group's departed member.

"Melissa" plays squarely to Betts's strengths, while "Les Brers in A Minor" recalls the extended jams of the AT THE FILLMORE EAST album. The next three tracks on EAT A PEACH are taken from the Fillmore shows. Each selection represents the Duane-era Allmans at their best, especially the blistering "Trouble No More." The sound quality on these tracks, however, does not compare well to the analogous tracks on THE FILLMORE CONCERTS, an expanded reissue of the classic live album. The final three tracks, studio sessions featuring Duane, hint at what PEACH might have been had Duane lived.
