Classic .......2007-05-13

I still have the original LP I bought when new and still in good condition so had to buy the CD and sounded great ... What a Classic .

Underrated Little Gem.......2007-01-21

To me, this was the Allman's best album to be released between Eat a Peach (their peak) and Seven Turns, far better than the overrated Brothers and Sisters: besides containing the group's second and last Top 40 hit (Crazy Love), the great instrumental Pegasus, and bluesy Can't Take it With You, they also bring home the goods on Try it One More Time and Just Ain't Easy. On the other end, they miss the mark totally on Blind Love; Need Your Love so Bad; and Sail Away, one of the most overused titles in history: Dickey Betts' singing, which drives me out of my head, doesn't add much. They can't all be masterpieces, and Enlightened Rogues is far from one, but whatever. If you're the kind of fan who thinks the Allmans should have packed it in after Duane died, I assure you this will change your mind.

Underrated.......2006-11-19

This is a highly underrated CD that really deserved more attention. Just Ain't Easy is one of Gregg's finest vocal performances, while Dicky really steps up both in his songwriting and fine lead guitar play.
Dan Tolner also deserves much greater praise than he ever recieved in his short turn with the band. He's not the great Warren Haynes but he plays with a lot more passion than the highly overrated Derek trucks.

As a true Allman fan, going back to before Live at the Fillmore, I recommend purchasing this CD.

Very underrated.......2006-02-11

The first of 3 albums the Allman Brothers did with Dan Toler as their 2nd guitarist and their best of the 3. Not by coincidence, this was produced by Thom Dowd, who always brought out the best in the band.
All 8 cuts are good, especially Try it one more Time, which is duet between Gregg and Dickey. Pegasus is a typically good Dickey Betts instrumental and Dickey sings a duet with Bonnie Bramlett on Crazy Love.
When the band reunited once more in 1989, they pretty much forgot about everything they did from 1979 to 1982 and rarely play this stuff in concert. A shame becuase it's not a bad album at all.
