Hi...we're Nick & Knarf....2 brothers, and delightful old fellows, who are passionate ( and we mean "hot" and "sweaty" passionate ) about music of all kinds, and from many eras...Join us, as we share great little-known gems, artists, and deep album cuts that got little or no air-play on the radio.
Today, we're featuring the fantastic The Allman Brothers Band!!!...2 great songs from their tremendous double album "Eat A Peach"....first, it's the great, live blues / rock classic, "One Way Out"....then, it's the beautiful, moody ballad, "Melissa".
The Allman Brothers Band was formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman
( slide guitar and lead guitar ) and Gregg Allman ( vocals, keyboards, songwriting ), and included Dickey Betts ( lead guitar, vocals, songwriting ), Berry Oakley ( bass guitar ), Butch Trucks ( drums ), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson ( drums ). Subsequently based in Macon, Georgia, the band incorporated elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows featured jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals.
Their 1971 live release, "At Fillmore East", represented an artistic and commercial breakthrough, and is considered among the best live albums ever made. Group leader Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident later that year – on October 29, 1971 – and the band dedicated "Eat A Peach" ( 1972 ) to his memory. The dual studio / live album cemented the band's popularity.
"Eat A Peach" contains studio recordings from September–December 1971 at Criteria Studios, Miami—both with and without Duane Allman—and live recordings from the band's famed 1971 Fillmore East performances. The album contains the live versions of "One Way Out" ( a blues song first recorded and released in the early-mid-1960s by Sonny Boy Williamson II and Elmore James ),
and the extended half-hour-long "Mountain Jam", which was long enough to take up two full sides of the original double-LP. Other highlights include vocalist Gregg Allman's performance of his brother's favorite song, "Melissa", and Dickey Betts' "Blue Sky", both of which which went on to become classic rock radio staples.
The Allman Brothers Band has been awarded seven gold, and four platinum, albums, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Rolling Stone ranked them 52nd on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, in 2004.
