Who better for the legendary Gregg Allman to pass the southern rock torch to than his own son, Devon? Honeytribe's CD proves that Devon is definitely a chip off the old block. His guitar playing is solid, as well as his vocals. He doesn't sound as much like Gregg as you might think--maybe a little, but he does sound a lot like Gary Moore from his "Still Got The Blues" days, with a little more southern rock grit. Joe Bonamassa makes a fitting appearance on one number, who is one of my favorites. The music is good all around blues rock, with maybe a little contemporary edge to make it current. I hope to see these guys in concert soon. Recommended for all Allman Bros. and blues-rock fans!

I agree with all previous reviews, if you dig the Allmans and Govt Mule, you will dig this CD. It is with the current southern, progressive jam vibe. His take on the Marley classic "No Woman No Cry" is a highlight. Take a chance on this newcomer and enjoy!

I'd never heard anything about this band until I saw this CD on [...]. I was buying a Govt Mule Cd and it was listed as one of those "Others have Bought" this cd: I checked it out and saw that Devon was the Frontman, Being a big Allman Brothers fan, I bought it and am I'm glad that I did. Kind of expected "Greg Allman Clone" style of music. I was wrong about that, this band is doing their own thing and man is it good stuff. If you're a fan of Electric Blues then do yourself a favor and buy this. You won't be disappointed. Nice to see that some of the younger generation is making good music and not wasting their talents with the usual boy band crap and chasing the all might dollar.

Great CD...You have to see these guys live!Devon Allman is incredible!!! Just saw them live Jan.11,2012
I think Torch is better than the newer one.

Great Blues Rock hard! Highlights include the instrumental track Mahalo, a cover of No Woman No Cry Bob Marley and Mercy Mercy with special guest Joe Bonamassa. Super Recommended!

I ordered after hearing Devon's live performance. I loved hearing the vocal tract on the CD which I did not hear so well in the live performance. He is awesome, the band is awesome, just a great sound and soul. Give us more. When is the next one out?

Devon and his band have put together a great album and give an even better performance in concert. Go see them if you like 70's rock and roll with a Southern and new century twist.

I purchased this product as a gift for my Dad for father's day. He is a huge Allman Brother's band fan. After reading the reviews and listing to the sound bites from the CD, I thought I would give it a shot. He listened to the CD non-stop for days. He absolutely loves it. This CD exceeded my expectations. It doesn't sound like the Allman Brothers too much, but it has it's own Southern Bluesy sound that all can enjoy. It's a great CD and I enjoy it as much as my Dad!

I had a chance to see Devon Allman open for his dad and see the band perform live as well as listen to this CD. The music comes from the jamband- Southern rock style and maybe it's a little closer to Gov't MUle than Gregg Allman with a little hard rock on some cuts. It's a good debut CD and let's hope there are more but at less than 40 minutes, they could have put more songs on here.

Being from St. Louis I remember seeing Devon in some of his previous bands. They were good, but nothing that made me want to tell everyone to run to his shows. This is different. I think he's found his groove. Great job guys!
