Recorded in the same year as the Brothers and Sisters album, this solo debut release is a beautiful amalgam of R&B;, folk, and gospel sounds, with the best singing on any of Gregg Allman's solo releases. He covers his own "Midnight Rider" in a more mournful, dirge-like manner, and Jackson Browne's "These Days" gets its most touching and tragic-sounding rendition as well. Although Chuck Leavell and Jaimoe are here, there's very little that sounds like the Allman Brothers Band -- prominent guitars, apart from a few licks by Tommy Talton (Cowboy, ex-We the People), are overlooked in favor of gospel-tinged organ and choruses behind Allman's soulful singing. ~ Bruce Eder

hard to find cd. will look for more on your website, rather than search the big boxes for music they don't ever have. prompt delivery and certainly low-priced, I will order from you again soon.

5 stars Terrific Music
Wonderful CD. You can almost feel Gregg dealing with the tragedies of the Allman Brothers Band. His plaintive wail and song selection (Don't Mess Up a Good Thing is the only uptempo number) convey a sense of loss and longing. Truly an emotional collection.

5 stars Classic - smooth as silk
The album that revealed just what makes the Allman Bros Band great. This one never gets old. I'll never forget my 2-year old (now a 30-year old) playing on the living room carpet pulling out my LPs and making his way to the kitchen tile and "sanding" the floor with my new "Laid Back" album that he had somehow removed from the jacket... 2 LPs and 2 CDs later, this is still worth buying...

After the runaway success of the Allman Brothers' classic Brothers and Sisters LP -- an album on which Dickey Betts virtually architected the open loping country sound with his newly found singing voice and easy, slimmed down guitar style -- the guitarist decided to try his hand at a solo album. Highway Call is, in essence, the second chapter in Betts finding his own voice as not only a singer, but also as a songwriter as well. At a brief half-hour in length, Highway Call is nonetheless an emotionally powerful slice of small country life offered with a vast emotional landscape. ...

Rumored to be The Ramones' final album, ADIOS AMIGOS isn't so much a summing up as it is a quick trip down memory lane, a farewell message or two, and a whole bunch of parting gifts from the kings of American punk rock. You didn't expect them to get all teary-eyed, but then you probably never figured them for the smart guys they are either. The Ramones have always had a way of sounding brainless no matter how clever they were, and now they manage to slip some sentimentality into the act as well. ADIOS AMIGOS includes an ode to a pro wrestling loser ("The Crusher") and a brilliantly dumb anthem for burn-outs ("Got A Lot To Say"), along with such classic Ramones-isms as "I don't wanna open a can worms and I don't want any Spaghetti-O's," which newest Ramone C.J. utters during "Makin' Monsters For My Friends." Dee Dee Ramone, whom C.J. replaced, ...
