Greg Allman, Low Country Blues (Page 1 of 4)

Yeah, I really like it. the first cut: Living in a Man's World by Laurie Morvan just cooks! I am going to check out more of her stuff. Like I said, the mag bi monthly and a sampler every other issue PLUS the new Allman CD is a fair deal for the price.
edit: Just got an em that my copy of the Allman release was shipped today. 

That´s very good news, Andre. Bonn?? From a sleepy ex-capital to Rocking City?

My, that was fast. Greg Allman's new CD, Low Country Blues, was in my mailbox today. This is his first solo release in 14 years and it was worth the wait. The liner notes liken this to a journey down a river with tributaries feeding from the various strings of the Blues. Greg pays homage to many of the greats from the past. Low Country refers to his homeland of South Georgia. There is a lot of Muddy Waters to be found here. Some cuts will put you in a smoky juke in a seedy section of town. Others ramble up to Chicago, down to Memphis, across to Nashville and on down the flow to the Delta. It closes with my favorite, a collaborative original arrangement of Rolling Stone by Allman, T Bone Burnett and Mac Rebennack which harks back to the slave chants that were the origins of the genre. Primarily an acoustic album with support from many of Greg's friends, there is some great electric guitar work by Doyle Bramhall II.  I think this will earn a treasured place in anyone's collection. This was my impression from the first listen. I'm going to roll it again, and again, and again!

edit: this is going right to my top 10 list for next December. The wife agrees, we've run it non stop all evening. Not a bad cut to be found! She's rocking around the house right now to I Believe I'll Go Back Home. 
For those who are looking for electric guitar driven riffs, look elsewhere, this is Roots Blues!

I got lucky and received the CD as a prerelease perq. for the subscription.  This CD was worth the price alone! There is a nice booklet with lyrics, production notes and photos too included with the CD. (the lyrics are not too accurate, maybe they are as originally transcribed or something.)

It is already on my best of 2011 list.

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

Greg Allman on Late Night with David Letterman playing a track "Just Another Rider" from his new album.  He looks great and sounds great.  Can't wait until April to see him again at the Wanee Music Festival. :-)

Just downloaded it this week.  Hadn't heard anything about it.  I was just browsing new albums and saw it, saw some listener reviews of it, saw the description and took a chance.

I've been playing it every day on my MP3 player.  Really like it!

Thanks Susan.  I love that show.  I have the DVR set to record it every week.  I'll certainly enjoy Greg's interview and music on there.
