Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
Good Collection
A good collection of Allman Brothers music on one cd. I have most of the songs on several other cd's but liked having them all on one. Recommend to Allman Brothers music fans.

Steve Gluda mistake
Don't mean to be picky, but I'm a big fan of Billy Joe Shaver and just wanted to let Steve know that B.J. wrote "Rambling Man", but Betts did do a great job. A little side note, a friend of mine was a nurse in a drug-treatment facility in Atlanta where Gregg and Dicky were treated. She said Betts was a great guy and Allman was a real jerk.

What a band!
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
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.
