Anyone want to buy yet another copy of the same album (2007-08-28) MoFi ~ Allman Brothers "Idlewild" These is a Mobile Fidelity Ultradisc II 24-Karat Gold remastered CD. The Allmans disc appears to be on schedule for release next Tuesday (August 28th). This is a limited pressing! >> Idlewild South, the sophomore release from America's sovereign Southern rock band the Allman Brothers, is easily their greatest studio album. Unlike the band's labyrinthine live shows, which are distinguished by their immense, walloping swamp rock, this album focuses on the considerable songwriting capabilities of Gregg Allman and Dicky Betts. Plus, it showcases the band’s original lineup, before multiple tragedies began taking their toll: The lightning slide guitar of Duane Allman, the vocals and Hammond B-3 of his brother Greg Allman, lead guitarist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley, and the thunderous drum tandem of Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson. This album lays bare their talent for weaving disparate but distinctly Southern elements of rock, gospel, soul, jazz, and R&B into a cohesive and original whole. The renowned producer Tom Dowd oversaw these sessions, which resulted in the Bible-thumping "Revival," the smash hit "Midnight Rider," the dirty blues of "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," the soul-soothing "Please Call Home," and the legendary "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," which would go on to become the penultimate Allman Brothers' concert war-horse. << Revival Don't Keep Me Wonderin' Midnight Rider In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed Hoochie Coochie Man Please Call Home Leave My Blues At Home http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R348BM/?tag=imwan-20
