The Allman Brothers Band

[skinnyl]

Just sat here working listen to "The Collection" album forgetting how fabulous they really were/are.

Was just wondering if there were any other fans here, i saw them in their new form in 2001 at the Jones Beach Theatre in NY and they had this new boy on guitar, Derek Trucks. Son of one of the original drummers i think and he absolutly blew me away but he looked like he was having no fun at all .

Also i just thought am i one of the only ones that thinks of The Allman Brothers before Top Gear when i hear Jessica?

thoughts?

You really should be listening to bands from your own time.
The Allman Brothers are for old codgers like me and Big Kev (in fact Big Kev is too young).
I had a few albums in the 70's but they didn't exactly do it for me.
I was more into Molly Hatchet.

I do, but i like a lot of stuff from 70's to Electronica. I'll give anything ago, granted i'm swayed in the 70's direction. Mostly because its what i grew up listenening to, cant forget the roots.

Jessica rocks. Loving 'Every Hungry Woman' atm..

yeah i'll try and check the album out..

Goverment Mule? yeah i heard of them. Leslie West has been known to strut his stuff with them i think. Another of my favouite guitarists. Not heard any of Mules own stuff thou, only the Leslie West covers. I'll have to check them out too, cheers!
