Having firmly established themselves as "The Grateful Dead of the South" via their enormously successful 1971
Live at the Fillmore East double album, the Allman Brothers had just begun work on a new studio collection when slide guitarist Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Undaunted, the group rallied together and completed
Eat a Peach, which, via inclusion of the 34-minute-plus "Mountain Jam," blossomed into a double LP. While keyboardist-singer Gregg Allman shone on tracks like Sonny Boy Williamson's "One Way Out" and his own "Melissa," it was second guitarist Dickey Betts who came out from under the departed Allman's shadow with his lead vocal on "Blue Sky" and his incendiary playing throughout.

THe condition of the CD was flawless, and the liner notes were like new.
The jewel case was slightly cracked, but I suspect rough handling at the Post Office... :o)
All in all, VERY happy with my purchase, and my partner was thrilled with the gift.
THANK YOU, thank you. |

OMFG do I love this album.
It is one of the best escapes from this nasty world of Sarah Palins and mean people (lol).
I put this on, lean back, and the world is good and I am a happy boy!
This is music for people that know how to zone out.
Yeah that's it: This is space age zone out music for moderns with a nostalgic side.
Peace. |

| Living in the south, The Allmans Brothers Band acquired somewhat of a saintly status during the early 1970's. It reminds me of the carefree days of riding in the back of a VW Van and going up to the Atlanta Rock Festival or anywhere in Florida. It seems as if every van and car was listening to either The Allmans or Grand Funk. Time has proven that the Allmans' Eat A Peach is a genuine masterpiece. Songs like One Way Out, Little Martha, Blue Sky and Ain't Wasting Time No More have proven the test of time. This was Duane Allman's swan song before his tragic accident in 1971 and remains my favorite Allman Brothers album of all time. They were the greatest live band I ever saw too. |

| I had bought this as a vinyl album many many years ago. I had completely forgotten how good it was. Truly timeless material. |
