Please watch the video above for the full review
I am a huge fan of The Allman Brothers and this is a follow up to my video where I looked at the 4CD Dreams Box Set
The Allman Brothers Band were formed in 1969 by Duane Allman, Jaimoe, Berry Oakley, Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks, and Gregg Allman. The band’s very first jam together was on a Muddy Waters song, called’Trouble No More’, which shortly after became the very first song they officially demoed together. It had remained unreleased until being included in this box set.
The box set was produced by Allman Brothers historians and aficionados Bill Levenson, John Lynskey and Kirk West. This 5-CD edition includes an 88-page booklet and is housed in a 12-panel softpack with a slipcase. Each CD is a thematic overview of the various stages of the band’s recording and performance history. The box set also includes an 8,900+ word essay on the 50-year history of the band by John Lynskey, unreleased band photos along with newly-shot photos of memorabilia from the Big House Museum in Macon, GA and a recap of the 13 incarnations of the band line-up.
