4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Late Solo Career Overview., August 8, 2002

If you like the Allman Brothers, then "The Best Of Gregg Allman" is a must have collection for any fan. The cd collects some real gems from his Epic records solo albums like "Just Before The Bullets Fly", "I'm No Angel" and "Searching For Simplicity". The smokey growl of Allman is in fine form on The rocking hit "I'm No Angel", "Slip Away", "Ocean Awash The Gunwale and "Brother To Brother". Three previously unreleased tracks are here as well. One can see that alot of care and effort went into this cd package. The liner notes are simply fantastic and each song gets a narrative from Gregg himself and finally some great photo's along with a bargin price makes this collection a real value. Gregg allman is without a doubt one of the truly under appreciated blues singers of the rock era. Just keep in mind that this collection covers 1987 to present. If you desire his early solo work You Should checkout the Gregg Allman "Masters Millennium Collection". The ultimate Solo Collection Is the out of print 2 disc Anthology set which can be found on e-bay or second hand cd shops if you look long enough.

Well, the wait was worth it!!! Gregg sounds better than ever...growlin' the blues. Nice combination of previously released and new material. The liner notes really give some interesting insight on how each song evolved. My advice...buy it!

This album is awesome! Greg's unique voice is at its finest and the songs are all fabulous. The bonus is that on the CD sleeve he writes about each song and tells how it came about, what he was going through at the time, etc. Very cool!
