The Road Goes on Forever [Live]

Coming of age during the late-'60s supergroup boom, the Allman Brothers Band initially found fame by dosing their deceptively authentic taste for American blues and jazz with some U.K.-bred guitar heroics, then taking to the road with ferocious abandon. As originally released in 1975, this anthology charted the high points of the Allman Brothers' initial five albums, highlighted by the fiery live recordings of At Fillmore East and Eat a Peach. Now doubled in both size and scope, it effectively documents the full arc of the band's career during the '70s. Guitarist Dickey Betts's creative emergence neatly coincided with the decade's musical mellowing and country-rock affectations. Just as Eric Clapton seemed to become a Saxonized Don Williams as the '70s wore on, the Allmans became something more akin to Little Feat-lite in the wake of Betts's "Rambling Man" and Gregg Allman's solo successes--and unlikely also-rans to Lynyrd Skynyrd in the rebel rock sweepstakes. This is a compelling overview of a band often shortchanged by classic rock's inherent myopia. --Jerry McCulley
