5.0 out of 5 stars Duane's Tune is worth the price alone!, October 25, 2000

Now I am what one would call an Allmaniac. All things Allman are sacred to me, so this review may be slightly biased. Seriously, I bought this album when it first came out and I played it until it bled. Dickey Betts has lined up a tremendous outfit and together they bring about some very tasty music. Warren Haynes pushes Dickey to new levels of playing and it quite obvious on Rockbottom and Duanes Tune. Matt Abts' drumming is incredible, and Johnny Neel brings some nice vocals to the table. If your in to Jambands and Southern Fusion than this recording is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars An important album, October 5, 1999

This should be heard just for the fact that it was 3 parts future Allman Brothers (Betts, Warren Haynes and Jonny Neel) and 2 parts future Gov't Mule (Warren, again and Matt Abts). And it serves as a blueprint for the 90's rennaisance of the Allmans sounds as well as what was to come of the Mule.

5.0 out of 5 stars 80's Rock, August 11, 2002

I really like this record, but it's not at all what you would expect from Dickey Betts. There isn't a trace of country in the entire album, and only a hint of blues. Instead, this record is pure 80's power rock. If you remember how guitar rock sounded in 1988 (when this was recorded), you will appreciate this record.

If you are expecting another country-flavored "Highway Call", or some straight-ahead Allman Bros blues, forget it, this record will disappoint you. But if you enjoy hard rocking guitar, this record features two of the best in Betts and Haynes.

One more reason you may be interested in this record... I believe this is one of the earliest recorded pairings of Warren Haynes and Matt Abts. They, along with bassist Allen Woody, would later form the power-trio-jam-band, Gov't Mule.
