The Best of Duane Allman Duane Allman |
Released 1979 A decent collection that briefly covers the phases of the all too short career of Duane Allman. Though very little of the material is found on any of Allman's solo albums, the tracks taken from his few recordings are well done. "Been Gone Too Long" is a true standout track from Allman's pre-Allman Brothers days in The Hourglass, as is the fine slide guitar blues of "Mean Old World," with Eric Clapton. A live version of "Midnight Rider" with the Allman Brothers is decent, though their "Dimples" and "Don't Keep Me Wondering" are the Allmans at their best. Still, Duane Allman shines with his own band on the very tightly rocking "Happily Married Man," and with his impressive guitar work on his cover of the blues standard "Goin' Down Slow." ~ Matt Fink, All Music Guide
