The Allman Brothers Band: Dickey Betts (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Gregg Allman (vocals, piano, organ); Duane Allman (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar); Berry Oakley (bass guitar); Jaimoe , Butch Trucks (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Chuck Leavell, Les Dudek, Bonnie Bramlett. Recorded during the venerable American institution's creative peak, this is an all-but-ideal single disc compilation. With all the hits (including Greg Allman's solo "Midnight Rider"), it also contains studio versions of most of the concert favorites, including the epic "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." Interestingly, for a group that first made its mark as a contemporary blues band, not much of the material here is blues per se, with "Whipping Post" being the obvious exception. This well-chosen collection demonstrates that the Allman Brothers have always been stylistically eclectic, with elements of jazz, country, soul and gospel grafted onto their basic blues-rock template.Tracks1 Statesboro Blues2 Ramblin' Man3 Midnight Rider4 Southbound5 Melissa6 Jessica7 Ain't Wastin' Time No More8 Little Martha9 Crazy Love10 Revival11 Wasted Words12 Blue Sky13 One Way Out14 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed15 Dreams16 Whipping Post
