5.0 out of 5 stars Immensely Listenable, November 20, 2001

By

This review is from: I'm No Angel (Audio CD)

Bought this when it first came out (on an album). It remains my favorite for all these years. The pop song, "I'm No Angel," prompted its purchase but it remains a classic to me because of its non-hits. Each song is my "favorite" until the next one plays. That being said, the song "Things That Might Have Been"--which contains my all-time favorite song phrase, "I could spend my life on a wonder..."--and "It's Not My Cross to Bear" are hypnotizing. They are so melodic and aurally rich. Jazzy, with some R&B and pop mixed in, this CD is really original. It borrows from many genres and comes up with its own very satisfying blend. I would guess, however, that most Allman Bros. fans won't appreciate it because 1) it's not raw; 2)over-long solos don't exist; and, 3) it's not southern rock. What one reviewer called "overproduced," I interpret as sophisticated and nuanced. Yet this is not high-falutin' music. This CD never gets stale.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was the comeback LP, October 1, 2005

Before the release of this LP, Gregg (and Dickie also) had spent the previous 5 years touring small venues and recording nothing,

Then Gregg came out with this and the title track alone was worth the price. Gregg just nailed the title track, it went top 30 allowing Gregg and Dickie both back in the studios and the following year- the reunion of the Allman Brothers Band that is still going strong 16 years later. This song is the one that started the comeback.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Was the One For Me., November 1, 2001

This review is from: I'm No Angel (Audio CD)

Bought this on cassette tape years ago by mistake (the cassette I meant to buy was Before the Bullets Fly but I knew nothing about Gregg Allman then). This mistake turned out to be my favorite. Evidence of Love and Anything Goes along with I'm No Angel are favorites but I love the entire CD. There's something about Gregg Allman's voice that draws you in and you find yourself sitting down closing your eyes and just kicking back. I finally did get Before the Bullets Fly - but my all time favorite is I'm No Angel. I'm gradually adding the other CD's he's done solo.
