Fantastic Skynyrd CD.......2007-03-08

I love this CD! It gives me happy feet, what can I say. I play it often as I never tire of hearing Skynyrd classic hits.

Pronounced Leonard Skinnard.......2006-12-27

I'm not a fan, but if you are, this is a good collection. I like the Allman Brothers better (and yes, I know they are a blues band). I bought this to learn "You've Got That Right" for my band. If the Eagles or The James Gang are considered Southern Rock, and that is your odyssey, check them out first. Sacrilege, I know.

The Definitive Collection.......2006-12-18

This CD is all you really need from Lynyrd Skynrd. It contains 14 of their greatest songs and each one is a classic. There are no fillers on this album. It's filled with hit after hit of some of the best southern rock ever recorded. All of the songs are classics as I said but one song that I'm happy that they included in this collection is "All I Can Do Is Write About It" (acoustic version). This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The words are simple and yet deeply moving and powerful. Listen to this song carefully and it will touch your heart like it did mine. The CD opens with what is probably one of the most famous songs in the classic rock pantheon "Sweet Home Alabama". This one is considered to be a rock n'roll anthem and I completely agree. Overall this is an album that every fan of classic rock should not be without. This is Lynyrd Skynyrd at their very best and beyond.

great cd.......2006-11-10

able to listen to the whole cd without having to skip any songs, great cd!!

Still Rockin' After All These Years.......2006-11-03

Music is like art.....I don't know much about it, but I know what I like, and I like "All Time Greatest Hits"...a lot!! It's classic sing-along standards to which we all know the words. Just like on the old Dick Clark American Bandstand shows..."It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it". Of course you can mop floors to it, and drive to it, and have the other drivers wonder why you look so spastic, but best of all you can just enjoy the songs. To a southern girl.....uh, old broad.....this is true southern rock and roll. I was rockin' with Lynyrd Skynyrd back in the '70's and I'm still rocking with them 30 years later.

With their dueling guitar leads and harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, the Allman Brothers Band cast the mold for the southern rock sound that would proliferate in the '70s. Virtuoso musicians, their songs drew upon a number of southern influences, including country, the blues, New Orleans jazz, and even gospel, creating a sound that was distinctly theirs. Decade of Hits is a great catalog of the Allman's at their guitar wielding best. The sweet, infectious harmonies on the instrumental "Jessica" have become a classic reference point in themselves. Next to the tragedies that plagued them--two motorcycle deaths, heroin addiction--the Allman's are probably best known for the heroic "Ramblin' Man." Written and sung by the now legendary Dickey Betts, the song contained everything that made the band great: intricate guitar harmonies, a strong melody, and just enough twang to keep the thing tight. Decade also contains Allman staples "Melissa," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," and "Southbound." --Steve Gdula

What a band!.......2007-07-15

This is older music that still rocks into 2007. I bought this for my husband as a birthday present and got a very pleased husband for my trouble. Check out Gov't Mule if you like Allman Brothers.

LOVE IT.......2007-04-26

I love this CD. I wish there were more hits on it, but hey. I like The Allman Brothers Band loads better than Greg Allman on his own. It took me awhile to finally find the song/s I like, done the way I remember them. Glad I finally found this one.

GREAT SOUTHERN ROCK COLLECTION.......2007-03-13

The Allman Brothers' A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 is arguably the best greatest hits compilation ever assembled and released within the Southern Rock genre.

Indeed, it is a most enjoyable listen. It has the early hits with the fine-tuned organ and the top-notch guitar work of the great Allman Brothers. The very early tracks from the 1969-1970 period, Whipping Post and all, are quite appealing and are reminiscent of those darker tunes in the style of Sugarloaf's Greeneyed Lady and Santana's Soul Sacrifice.

The commercially successful records that put the Allman Brothers at the top of the charts but were, sadly, recorded and released well after the death of Duane Allman are all there, from the number 2 hit, Ramblin' Man, to the immortal instrumental that has received international accolades, namely Jessica.

For those who want a perfect Allman Brothers sampler without delving into the boxed sets or anything that is outside that frequently played on the classic rock radio stations, this is it. You have the signature live and studio pieces that have preserved the Allman Brothers' legacy. 'Nuff said.

One of ZZ Top's great gifts is its concision; even in the side-long-jam era of the '70s, the Texans almost always fit 10 cuts on their albums. Surveying two decades of their output, Greatest Hits isn't the perfect overview you might expect, but it's still a pretty darn good driving album. The disc goes easy on the pre-Deguello stuff surveyed on their earlier best-of, and seems to digitally boost the drums on tracks like the 1975 "Tush." Still, later cuts like "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" and "My Head's in Mississippi" are full-on triumphs of this trio's very weird, very blues-drenched sensibility. --Rickey Wright

ONE OF THE BEST ROCK GROUPS EVER........2007-04-27

Wow!! What a great compilation. I just can't get enough of ZZ Top. These guys really rock as I can play them over n over and over again. I think that song Gimme All Your Lovin is one of the greatest songs in rock history, ever!! GREAT MUSIC..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL ROCK FANS WITH A GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC. GET THIS WITH ALBUMS FROM METALLICA.

Very Pleased.......2007-03-19

I received the CD in just a few days and in great condition!

It's good if you just want the hits.......2007-01-29

While Greatest Hits is the most definitive single disc compilation for ZZ Top on the market, it is missing some of their best songs and doesn't hold up to their best work. 12 of the collection's 18 songs come from 1983 and later with two of the tracks being the "new" songs you often get with a greatest hits set. The four tracks included from Eliminator ("Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Got Me Under Pressure", "Sharp Dressed Man", and "Legs", the last of which is a remixed version) are all top notch and deserve to be here. The three tracks included from Afterburner include the big hits "Sleeping Bag" and "Rough Boy" and the album track, "Planet of Women." While the first two should be included, the excellent hit single, "Stages", is not included. From the lackluster Recycler, we have "Doubleback", "My Head's In Mississippi", and "Give It Up", which are probably the best three songs from the album. The two new tracks include a remake of Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas", which is so full of synths and electronic drums that it may as well have been recorded with The Art of Noise, and the forgettable minor hit "Gun Love." As for the pre-Eliminator tracks, we get 6 in "Tush", "Cheap Sunglasses", "La Grange", "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide", "Tube Snake Boogie", and "Pearl Necklace", all great songs that are now AOR staples. While this is a good compilation that hits most of the high notes, more of the `70s stuff like "Waiting For The Bus"/"Jesus Just Left Chicago", "Heard It On The X", and "I Thank You", along with the `80s hit "Stages", should have been included and the weaker tracks "Give it Up", "Planet of Women", and especially the two "new" tracks should have been left alone. While discs such as Tres Hombres, Deguello, Eliminator, and Fandango! are better albums overall, Greatest Hits will do if you only want the hits.

Amazon.com

There have been plenty of attempts to anthologize this venerable Southern band's extensive catalog, but this is the first one to get it right. Spreading 32 tracks from just over 30 years of albums across two discs, the immaculately sequenced compilation plays like a well-conceived piece. From the flute-dominated "Take the Highway," the opening cut of their 1973 debut, the Marshall Tucker Band avoided the typical Southern-boogie-rockin'-guitar path later epitomized by their more rowdy brethren the Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Molly Hatchet. Rather, Tucker presented a more laid-back, country-based approach, highlighted by the jazzy playing of woodwind player Jerry Eubanks and drummer Paul Riddle.

Although the Capricorn/Warner Bros. decade that ended in 1983 accounts for the bulk of these selections, the last half of the second disc presents a revamped lineup led by sole original member/lead singer Doug Gray, continuing the musical legacy with remarkably engaging results. The 24-page booklet featuring a detailed history, a live CD-ROM track, and crisply remastered sound further enhance the experience that finally bestows upon this underrated band the comprehensive, classy, and long-overdue retrospective it deserves. --Hal Horowitz

Album Description

The first collection to feature hits from their entire career!

Along with Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band is the definitive Southern rock band. Over their storied career, they've seamlessly blended rock, country, jazz, pop, blues and soul into a beguiling blend of the best music that The South — and America — has to offer. The 2-disc Anthology is the first collection to pull together the highlights from their 30-year career.

It contains not only their biggest hits—"Fire On The Mountain," "Heard It In A Love Song," "Last Of The Singing Cowboys," "Can't You See," "Take The Highway"—but also such fan favorites as "Where A Country Boy Belongs," "I Should Have Never Started Lovin' You," and "Cattle Drive." Since MTB's on-stage prowess is legendary, a live video clip has been included as a bonus.

Marshall Tucker Band.......2007-07-29

Have really enjoyed this CD. Brings back a lot of memories from the 70's. Those were the days when music was music. My 16 year old son even liked it.

a good starting place........2007-07-04

this compilation is the perfect starting point for someone new to marshall tucker. and it's a little more poignant given george mccorkle's death on 6/29/07 from cancer. this was the best band america ever produced. they were THAT good!

I second Mike S........2007-06-03

To leave off "this ole cowboy" is inexcusable, or a gross mistake. Listen to that song, and you'll agree.

Even thought "This Ole Cowbay" was left out...still a 5 Star.......2007-05-27

Yes it is unfortunate that "This Ole Cowboy" was left off the greatest hits CD...but we, as consumers do not know why. Perhaps the holder of the publishing rights "sold" their interest in the song thinking that "This Ole Cowboy" would just fade away. Music, unfortunately, is a business...with fat men smoking fat cigars making fat money. Choices are made that we simply cannot understand. The best we can do is be thankful for what we have in so much beautiful music...there, I feel better.

After see them in concert.......2007-05-13

A good CD that I brought after seeing them in concert. If you like flutes I would suggest buying this CD.

Radio Edits? You've got to be kidding!.......2007-07-26

With a two CD set, there should be no radio edits. In fact, the CD doesn't say so on the back cover. It's only after you start playing the CDs, or load them into I-tunes, that you find out. What a rip off!
There is simply no excuse for not including the full version of the songs listed. None!
This mars what could have been a fantastic collection over two CDs.

Superb!.......2007-05-13

This double CD set is one of the best greatest hits compilations I've heard in a long time. If you want Doobies to listen to and don't know what CD to throw on, get this one. You have all the hits and more right here. A must for any Doobies fan!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Collection!.......2007-04-25

Since I moved abroad and needed to rebuild my cd collection, the Doobies were a big gap. This collection goes a long way to filling that gap. My iPod has been set to play this almost continually the last week. It captures the variety of styles that the Doobies encompassed, from the California folk rock beginnings to the jazzier, rockier Michael MacDonald era.

All the hits, not enough of the misses.......2007-03-19

Without saying so, what this 2-CD set includes is every Billboard chart single the Doobie Brothers ever notched - something no other album (except their boxed set) can boast. That means that 'Very Best Of' collects songs like 'Eyes Of Silver' (#52, 1974), 'I Cheat The Hangman' (#60, 1975), and 'Wheels Of Fortune' (#87, 1976) that were never included on similar previous collections. It even picks up 'Wynken Blynken and Nod' (#76, 1981) from the Sesame Street LP 'In Harmony.' And, two key non-hits ('Rockin' Down The Highway' and 'South City Midnight Lady') get tossed in, plus some stuff from the group's latter day albums.

What you don't get are enough of the Doobies' great album tracks like 'Spirit' (1974) or 'Nothin' But A Heartache' (1977). For those, you'll need to upgrade to the boxed set - which nevertheless omits 'Without You,' a perennial favorite previously included on 'Best Of The Doobies' and 'Greatest Hits.' Go figure....

Listen to all of the music.......2007-03-18

The Doobie Brothers started out life as a greasy California biker band and took their name after a fondness for getting high. That ethic led to big riff rockers like "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'," but was lacking in the eventual slick sophistication of Michael McDonald's urbane soul. The original 1976 "Best Of The Doobies" included songs up to "Taking It To The Street," which meant that the number one "What A Fool Believes" was after the cut off date. This time The Doobie Brothers recognize the debut album a year before "Toulouse Street" by including one song, the acoustically flavored "Nobody."

Once McDonald joined, the band entered a second era and began to move more towards urban soul and Steely Dan jazz. Tom Johnston split after "Living On The Faultline" over the Doobies' new direction with Jeff Baxter and McDonald, and the resulting "Minute By Minute" bore little resemblance to the mellow hippy-vibes of "Rocking Down The Highway."

What this CD does is successfully chronicle both Johnston's biker bar band and McDonald's more soul dominated period. When the Doobies broke up after "One Step Closer," it put the band on ice until a 1989 Doobie Brothers reunion that yielded "Cycles" and a hit in "The Doctor." The band soldiered on minus McDonald, which meant that Johnston and Patrick Simmons were able to regain the steering wheel and make bar-band riff-rock once more. (Even if - IMHO - "Cycles" was pedestrian and "Brotherhood" worse, but "Sibling Rivalry" is OK.)

For my money, this double CD rates a full star over the 1976 set by virtue of the extra songs post "Taking It To The Streets" and remastered sound. But then again, I totally lost interest in the band when they started churning out factory made classic rock like "The Doctor." You will also get a few essential songs dropped from both single disc sets, like "Eyes Of Silver" and "Another Park Another Sunday" (the original A-Side of "Black Water"), and the two-disc set recognizes once again that "South City Midnight Lady" is one of the band's best. Short of the Rhino box-set, this is a solid representation of the Doobies.

Amazon.com essential recording

There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt, the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy. Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman would have been a star in any other setting; here he's merely one more component in a brilliant ensemble. Duane Allman died shortly after At Fillmore East shipped, and the Brothers haven't scaled such heights since. But, then, neither has anyone else. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

legendary.......2007-05-17

I purchased this album to replace the one on LP. If you are a person who enjoys true southern rock , you shouldn't be without a copy of this one. Some of this work is at a level you will never hear again. Absolutely superb!

Duane, We Hardly Knew Ye.......2007-04-01

A spectacular collection of live jamming from the Brothers. IMHO Duane is the greatest lead guitar player ever. Hendrix was a spectacular virtuoso who could do things that no other player could. Clapton and the other contenders, tremendous technically, but Duane was in a league of his own in being able to communicate with his axe. To hear lead guitar at its best, go no further than this magnificent set!

Great live album but not the best out there.......2007-03-04

I've always been a fan of blues oriented rock music- especially live recorded music. This album is exceptional, no doubt, although I have to disagree with some of the previous reviews. I used to own this cd but gave it up after giving it a few tries. After reading these reviews I gave it another try. The sound quality is great and the performance is great too, but not the ultimate live album I was expecting. If you want to get some excellent electrified live blues rock music I'd recommend Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour or Ten Years After's Live at Fillmore East. Bottom line, buy The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East but don't expect it to be the best live album you've ever heard.

Is there some way I can give it more than 5 stars?.......2007-01-12

It's almost pointless to add another 5-star review to this album. This is way beyond the categories of "Southern rock" (Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet belong in that dubious realm) and "blues rock" (hate to sound politically incorrect, but there's never been a blues performer or band that's even come close to what these guys were capable of). Duane Allman's slide guitar squalls with the kind of expression that will put the fear of God into you and make you forget, for a moment, who Jimi Hendrix was.

Kiddies, this is what rock concerts used to be. Never mind! This is too real for you. Go back to blogging about how great fill-in-the-blank is.

Best live album, but there's more!.......2007-01-11

This Live album has been the standard for all others to be measured by for over 30 years. Every musician is at the top of his game. Duane Allman's guitar playing still reveals new thrills after 3 decades of listening. Dickey Betts does a great job of keeping up. (To tell them apart, Duane's guitar is a little smoother and seems to sing.) This recording still feels fresh and vital. You do not need to be a southern rock or blues fan to enjoy the music. However, do yourself a favor and opt for double The Fillmore Concerts instead. The recording mix is a little more balanced and there are some alternate takes that pack the discs with over 130 minutes of music. If you agree (and you most likely will) that this is the best live album, then the additional music on the additional disc is the second best live labum. With the extended album you will get a deeper appreciation for a band that played until the sun rose. This is not an album to be mixed into an iPod shuffle. Relax, sit down with your favorite beverage and immerse yourself. The music will take you away.

WOW!! THESE DESTROYERS CAN ROCK HARD.......2007-06-22

I certainly found this CD great as these Destroyers are a great blues rock band and my favorite blues rock band along with ZZ Top, Bad Company and a few others. My personal favorites would be Move It On Over, Bad to the Bone, One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer, and I Drink Alone. For great blues rock fans, I would really recomend this CD.

George Thorogood 30 Years of Rock.......2007-05-18

If you like rock and roll. You will love this one.

Rockabilly All The Way - George Thorogood Style!.......2007-04-05

George Thorogood is one of my favorite all time rockers. The reason why is he was able to combine rock with a little bit of country. In essence: ROCKABILLY! I was raised in the South, but did not especially like a lot of country music. This CD has just the right amount of both Rock and Country music all in one great collection. I would not call it a greatest hits album, but most of George Thorogood's songs are on it. This is a must for your CD collection!

RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "ALMOST GREAT TO THE BONE!".......2007-01-28

This is a great CD with some all-time classic Thorogood, slide guitar masterpieces. Such as "One Bourbon Once Scotch, One Beer", "Move It On Over:, Who Do You Love", "Bad To The Bone", and perhaps the most intelligent, "tongue in cheek" "drinking" rock song ever, "I Drink Alone"! And other songs. Why then would you ask, would Shaq "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer", give it 4 stars instead of 5? Because out of 16 songs about 4 of them are not all-time greats, so that is 25% of the songs, don't rate a 5 star grade. Hence, 4 star, still really good, and you should buy it.

Colorblind isn't an adequate title for this album. Randolph's follow-up to 2003's Grammy-nominated Unclassified is bright and energetic as a tie-dye-patterned pinwheel. Mostly its 11 tunes are about grooves plucked from the era of Sly Stone and Stevie Wonder, dappled with brilliant classic rock musicianship (think Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck) and driven by frenetic verve. When things slow down, it's usually to let the young pedal steel virtuoso revisit his roots in the Holiness Church, although the team of pop-world songwriters he collaborates with make the lyrics of Randolph's R&B hymns ambiguous between devotion to a woman or to God. Guests Dave Matthews (singing backup on "Love Is the Only Way") and Eric Clapton (lending second guitar to a hot-but-rote cover of the Doobie Brothers' hit "Jesus Is Just Alright") are oddly subdued, but neo-soul diva Leela James puts sex and smolder into her duet with Randolph on "Stronger." Ultimately, though, this album's all about Randolph himself, who has loosened his grip on the blues and gospel bedrock of his earlier playing to become a master of flashy funk and rock riffs and the owner of a tone so gargantuan it's earned him a place in rock-guitar Olympus--if not Heaven. --Ted Drozdowski

Album Description

On Colorblind, the third album from Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Leela James join for a jam-packed, emotion-filled, good-time party mix of funk, soul, rock, gospel, and blues.

Customer Reviews:

Rock 'n' Roll is not dead--it's flying like a phoenix.......2007-07-20

When "Ain't Nothing Wrong with that" came on the car radio, I was alternately dialing the station to find the name of the song and writing down lyrics. (No, I wasn't driving!) I bought the song on iTunes and then waited not-so-patiently for the CD to come from Amazon. "Colorblind" would have been worth full price, but waiting is good--sometimes.

"Ain't Nothing Wrong with That" starts this CD with a party and the rock doesn't stop til the end. Okay, the styles vary enough to make things really interesting, but there's a core of solid rocked out soul interwoven into this CD that shines through.

"Jesus is just Allright" with Clapton is the best version since the Byrds. I also enjoyed both Leela Jones soulful groove and Dave Matthews. Really, there's not a bad song on this CD. It very much reminds me of the rock I used to love growing up.

The one good thing about coming to this CD almost a year late is that I don't have to wait so long for the next Robert Randolph CD.

A little disappointed.......2007-06-27

I was trying something new and this album was recommended. It has some good hits on it but I guess it just wasn't what I was looking for, which was more of a Jimmy feel. I'll try it again in a month and see how it does me.

Funk, Soul, Rock, Gospel, Blues Collusion of the Best Kind.......2007-06-03

My wife is seriously into funk, soul, rock and blues! Her other criteria for picking music is the guitar player has to be awesome. When I heard this CD it was like "yep, all of the criteria have been met". She's going to love it.

She did and so did I. You know that an artist is on the right track when legends like Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Leela James want to join in.

Buy this CD. There are many standout songs that will surely get airplay. My personal favorites are Deliver Me, Thrill of It, Love is the Only Way In, and Thankful 'N Thoughtful.

Play it at "eleven".......2007-05-21

Colorblind is a slightly more commercialized follow-up to their previous efforts that is well worth the listen. I was recently "turned on" to Robert Randolph with their Wetlands album and was immediately hooked. I eagerly bought this album and was not dissappointed. As some of the critics have pointed out, it is a little more commercial, has some "big names" added, and has an unnecessary cover of the Doobies "Jesus is Just Alright" (it isn't bad, but I would prefer another original.) Seems like the band is trying to breakthrough to a broader audience (can you really blame them?). The stand out songs are "Thrill of it," "Ain't nothing wrong with it," and "Deliver Me,"--all are rockers with a great driving beat and guitar work.

The sound is still solid, and I can imagine several of these songs becoming concert staples and jammable hits. Some of the southern rock sound which was so much of Wetlands is lost and is replaced with more of a funk/r & b sound, but it works.

After listening to it a few times, you will definitely find yourself turing it up to "eleven."

Great fun & funk.......2007-05-20

A little bit Sly and the Family Stone, a little bit Red Hot Chili Peppers, a little bit Mother's Finest, and a little bit Lenny Kravitz. Fun, bouncy, funky. Feel-good energy music.

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. --Billy Altman

THE ORIGINAL ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND. THEIR SWAN SONG........2007-04-04

When Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident, The Allman Brothers Band decided that he would have wanted them to soldier on. And that, they did. Eat a Peach (1972) was released about four months after Duane's death. It contains songs recorded in the studio with Duane, unreleased live performances with Duane from the historic Fillmore concerts, and new songs recorded without Duane. Every song is a classic and fan favorite. The new songs kick off the album with the upbeat Ain't Wastin' Time No More ("I've still got two strong legs and even wings to fly"), the impressive instrumental Les Brers in A Minor' and the beautifully sad Melissa (this new beginning would end eight months later with bassist Berry Oakley's death). Next up is the live material. Mountain Jam, the 34 minute instrumental based on Donavon's "First There is a Mountain" is the highlight of this album, and the Allman's career. This is the best piece of music the band has ever recorded. They have never sounded better than this. Each and every member of the band shines brightly on Mountain Jam and the sound is as pure and unpretentious as rock music can ever get. There are no egos wrestling for the spotlight here, just disciplined musicians dedicated to the music they play. Listening to this, you will also hear how important Berry Oakley (the most underrated bass player in the history of rock) was to their sound. Duane Allman's magic was never more dazzling than it is here, and at the end of this song, he introduces each band member by name, and then says "I'm Duane Allman, thank you". It's the most emotional moment on the album, because it's his last goodbye to us all. The classic One Way Out and an uptempo Trouble No More round out the live portion of the album. Stand Back, Blue Sky, and Little Martha are the songs the band, including Duane, recorded in the studio before the accident. Stand Back is classic ABB with Duane's fiery slide guitar, and Gregg's soulful vocals. Dickey Betts makes his ABB singing debut on Blue Sky, a country style song with plenty of Duane and Dickey's twin guitar lines, and each taking a long bouncy solo. Of course, this is another fan favorite. Last, is Little Martha, an instrumental song Duane wrote. With just he and Dickey on acoustic guitars, it's reflective, well performed, and a perfect way to end the album. It also ends the story of one of the best bands to ever plug in musical instruments, and play music in the rock, blues, jazz, or country format. Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe. Through Eat a Peach, At Fillmore East, and Beginnings, their music lives forever.

Tragedy Breeds Magic.......2007-01-25

After the death of Duane, the band reconvened and came up with this, another very strong album. When it was originally released on vinyl it was a two record set, but it is condensed on to one for the CD release. The album consists of new studio material and live material recorded prior to Duane Allman's death. More Allman classics appear on this one, "Ain't Wastin Time No More", "Melissa" (which now my be better known from a cell phone commercial), "One Way Out". The band gets close to proggy on the all instrumental "Les Breres In A Minor". The centerpiece of the album is the 30 plus minute "Mountain Jam" a live recording that once again focus on the rambling twin guitar jams of Betts and Allman. Every "jam band" that is around today owes a debt to The Allman Brothers who did it all first back in the day. The album closes with "Blue Sky" a breezy little Dickey Betts number and "Little Martha" an acoustic duet with Betts and Allman. Killer stuff.

Magnum Opus South ..........2006-06-30

I agree wholeheartely with all or most all of the reviews listed but must respectfully disagree with finulanu's comment that the Allman Brothers magnum opus, Mountain Jam, is too long. It is in my opinion one blissfully long magnificent piece of music that is as good or even better than any Dead jam. I bought the double Lp back in the early 70's and painfully remember having to dig out and switch vinyl on the turntable (each half of Mountain Jam on seperate records) right in the middle of my Dickey Betts air guitar solo !!!
Now that Eat a Peach is on cd, I can hear Mountain Jam soar from blissfull begining to magnificent end without interuption.

Eat A Peach For Peace.......2006-03-14

I will always be moved and haunted by the voice of Dickie Betts...the Guitar work of Duane, and the collective genius of this important work.
There will probably never be an album like this again. The ease of falling in love with these beautiful songs is a given.
EAT A PEACH is a gem. No 'pitts' inside ;)

Yes, I'm editing my Eat a Peach review yet AGAIN.......2006-03-08

If you're keeping score, this would be the third time I've rewritten my review of Eat a Peach. By the looks of it, this is the final. It's been a few months since the last time I went through and reviewed it, and a few months and several listens later I'm beginning to see the light. This, ladies and gentlemen, is not only the Allmans' best album, but arguably the greatest double-album of all time. There's nothing that even comes close to filler. I know I bashed Les Brers in A Minor and Mountain Jam on my previous reviews, but those two have grown on me, as has Blue Sky. All right, you're bored now. On with the show!
Right from when the opening notes of Ain't Wastin' Time No More hit, you know you're in for something good. And sure enough, you are. Gregg shines on keyboards (love that little piano blurb at the start!) and vocals, plus Dickey's (not Duane's, he was sadly dead by this point) slide guitar beefs up the tune. Les Brers in A Minor is Betts' obligatory family-sized instrumental. No, it's nowhere near In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (my favorite rock instrumental ever, for what it's worth). Whatever, it's still a good tune, rising from a lengthy, cinematic introduction to a git-down-'n'-boogie second half that's a blast to listen to. As usual, Gregg's organ is a high point. Big-time radio hit Melissa (though it might as well have been called Duane, since that's who it's really about) is by far the group's best ballad - wrenching vocals are a big highlight, and Gregg proves he can write lyrics that are more than good-timey if he tries at it (he repeats the performance with Ain't Wastin' Time).
OK, onto Mountain Jam. This one takes a while to grow on you, for the simple reason that it's longer than a half-hour. But once it does, you'll never look back. For one it's got a great melody. But when that melody ends, the "jam" part opens up (the melody being "mountain" - based off of Donovan's "First There Is a Mountain"). The group goes insane for about twenty minutes, with virtuoso performances all around. And though it's long, it's also truly captivating. Let's face it, these guys were great instrumentalists - all six of 'em, and not just Duane (though he was the best). Speaking of Duane, yes he does appear on this cut, and yes he does play slide guitar. Need I say more? This was recorded live, as were the other two tunes. First is their cover of One Way Out, my favorite Allmans tune ever. Why? For one, if you weren't sold on Gregg's blues vocals, I can't help you. And if you were, the bar-tradin' guitar solo in the middle should only pull you in further. If it doesn't, you can't consider yourself an Allmans fan. Harsh, but true. They also cut a typically good cover of Trouble No More, though both the studio version and Muddy's original are better, I'm a fan of this one!
Now, onto Studio Side #2, AKA The Studio Side With Duane On It. First off is the funky Stand Back, love that little bass solo stuck in the middle! Then there's the huge radio hit Blue Sky, which is one hell of a song. It's true. The postive, feel-good vibes which draw you in are only part of it. Listen to the guitar jam in the middle, man! Vintage Allmans. Probably the best-known song of the bunch. And really, who's gonna wonder why? The album-closer Little Martha is also a highlight, simple but beautifully, lyrically effective. Little tune really tugs at the ol' heartstrings, especially when you consider it was the last bit of music Duane Allman ever put out in his life. Outside of its legacy, though, it's simply an amazingly melodic tune. I can't praise it enough.
If you're a rock fan and don't have a copy of Eat a Peach, I don't know what you're thinking. It's simply that good.
Now, a little shout-out to Duane: we all miss you. If there's a heaven up there, it's about time someone called him down, kept him far away from the drugs, and maybe, just maybe, have him send every guitarist in existence back home, crying in jealousy. Him and Hendrix. Those two should come back (I never knew any of them personally, but I've heard that they were great people in addition to their guitar heroics). BUY THE FRIGGIN' THING!

The Doobie Brothers' career is best be divided into two camps. The band originally started out as a good-time party band, as their name implies, churning out a string of rock hits like "Jesus Is Just Alright," "Take Me in Your Arms," and "Black Water." The guitar intro to "China Grove" is a rock classic, lending itself to every bar band in the world. There was something infectious about the early hits--strong melodies, great harmonies, and a genre-bending beat lifted the songs above the ordinary. That rollicking, rocking edge was all but abandoned when Michael McDonald joined. McDonald brought an urban, white-funk feel to the band, as best exemplified by "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "Takin' It to the Streets." Best of The Doobies draws more heavily upon the hits before his arrival, which, to many, should make the collection almost perfect. --Steve Gdula

The Doobie Brothers.......2007-04-02

YOu cannot go wrong with this CD! The Doobie Brothers were - in my opinion - just one of the best bands ever! Loved it! Still loving it!

When they were a rock and roll band.......2007-03-15

The Doobie Brothers started out life as a greasy California biker band. That ethic led to big riff rockers like "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'," but was lacking in the eventual slick sophistication of Michael McDonald's urbane soul. Depending on who you speak to, that would make this collection a five star deal. This 1976 entity includes songs up to "Taking It To The Street," which means that the number one "What A Fool Believes" was after the cut off date. (Oddly, NONE of the Doobie Brothers compilations seems to recognize the debut album a year before Toulouse Street" was released.)

For that reason (and maybe for "Real Love"), I hold this album to four stars. If you really want the full-on Doobies, there are two other collections worth choosing from. There is a single disc, 20 song "Greatest Hits" from 2001, and a recent (2007) double "Very Best Of" with 33 songs up to 2000's "Sibling Rivalry." But then again, I totally lost interest in the band when they started churning out factory made classic rock like "The Doctor" and was perfectly happy to have this CD.

If you prefer the Doobies in the Tom Johnston era, this is for you. You not only get riff 101 grooves like "China Grove," but also the mysterious "Black Water" and the choice album cut "South City Midnight Lady." But I also consider the 2000 best of to be a **** 1/2 star CD, with better sound and 9 more songs. You might want to aim for that one, even if my notalgic trapped in a 16 year old's mindset gravitates towards this "Best Of The Doobies."

WHICH DOOBIE YOU BE? THIS IS A GREAT DOOBIES COMPILATION. .......2007-01-19

Hello fellow readers and reviewers, I will be writing a review on the legendary album entitled "BEST OF THE DOOBIES" by one of Rock's greatest 70's bands of all-time, THE DOOBIE BROTHERS. This legendary album was originally released in 1976 on vinyl/LP and cassette on the Warner Brothers Records label. I purchased the very first release of this album on Compact Disc and the matrix or ID number is 3112-2. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible. I would also like to invite any comments you may have regarding my reviews in order for me to improve for your benefit.

I remember hearing THE DOOBIE BROTHERS while growing up here in San Antonio, Texas, the song was "Long Train Runnin'." I fell in love with this song as a kid and wanted to hear more from this great band. THE DOOBIE BROTHERS are one of the first rock bands to play southern rock music. Other than Lynyrd Skynyrd, Neil Young, The Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band and Molly Hatchet, THE DOOBIE BROTHERS wanted to mix southern music into Rock n' Roll to create their own blend and style of Rock music for the south as well as for everyone. As we all know, THE DOOBIE BROTHERS recorded many great 70's classics that would be remembered to this very day. "THE BEST OF THE DOOBIES" is a great album and a great tribute to southern rock.

I will list and briefly review all of the song tracks in their original exact running order as follows: (1.) "China Grove," (This is a great song. Tom Johnston's voice made this song into the legendary song it was destined to become. I love the guitar riff arrangements.) (2.) "Long Train Runnin'," (I love this song. This is the first song that turned me on to THE DOOBIES. I also love the guitar riff arrangements in this one.) (3.) "Takin' It To The Streets," (This is another great song. Michael McDonald sings this song with such emotion and power that you can't help but sing along.) (4.) "Listen To The Music," (This is a great song. This is one of THE DOOBIES big trademark and signature songs that everyone pretty much remembers.) (5.) "Black Water," (This is an all out great southern song. I love the acoustic guitar arrangements in this song. Patrick Simmons nails this song on the dot with his great Lead Vocals.) (6.) "Rockin' Down The Highway," (I love this song. This is a great song to listen to if you're speeding down the highway.) (7.) "Jesus Is Just Alright," (This is another great song. This is one of southern rock's greatest songs.) (8.) "It Keeps You Runnin'," (A great Michael McDonald song. In my opinion, this song would inspire future classic songs such as "What A Fool Believes," "Real Love" and "Minute By Minute.") (9.) "South City Midnight Lady," (Another great southern acoustic song. I love this song lots.) (10.) "Take Me In Your Arms" (This is a great tribute and rendition of The Isley Brothers classic 60's song. THE DOOBIES version kicks a*s.) and (11.) "Without You." (This is another great rockin' song. THE DOOBIES really get into their music in this one.) Overall, this is a great album.

As you can see, I would highly recommend this album for anyone especially the young ones that are curious about southern rock music. There are many other great southern rock bands that you can also research and check out. Buy this album, you won't be sorry.

In closing, there have been many changes made in group personnel of this great band. However, THE DOOBIE BROTHERS just kept getting better in the 70's and well into the 80's. With the most recent reunions recorded for DVD release, I think it is fair to say that THE DOOBIE BROTHERS are here to stay. Here's to you DOOBIES. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE DOOBIES RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.

Superb Compilation of Hits from The Doobie Brothers' First Great Period of Rock Hits.......2007-01-07

This 1976 compilation amazingly still holds up as a splendid introduction to The Doobie Brothers's best hits, and demonstrates why I loved hearing this band so much back then as a restless adolescent in high school and college. This album features songs co-written and sung by original band members Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, featuring classics like "China Grove", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me Just A While)", "Listen To The Music" and "Black Water". There's also two hits featuring then new band member Michael McDonald, most notably "Taking It To The Streets", who changed the band's musical chemistry from being the West Coast's greatest party rock and roll band to one with more of a pop/urban funk emphasis. All the reasons why I loved The Doobie Brothers back then are present on this album with a fine set of great melodies and superb guitar licks from the band's members, including the legendary Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, who was also briefly, back in the mid 1970s, a member of the Elton John Band (You can hear him perform live with the band in the two-CD Greg Penny-remastered deluxe edition of "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy".).
