How was a band that could crunch chords like Led Zeppelin, sting the blues like Elmore James and swing with the cool grace of a jazz big band born? The Allman Brothers Band was formed in 1969 when Duane Allman left Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where as a studio guitarist he recorded with Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis and other r&b greats to return to Jacksonville in his home state of Florida. Looking to strike out on his own with a band of equally talented musicians, Allman enlisted a collection of players with a wide range of experiences: Bassist Berry Oakley and guitarist Dickey Betts led the Jacksonville psychedelic band the Second Coming; drummer J. Johnny "Jaimoe" Johnson was an r&b veteran who had toured with Otis Redding, Joe Tex and Percy Sledge; drummer Butch Trucks played with the Jacksonville folk-rock band The 31st Of February; and organist/vocalist Gregg Allman had recorded two albums with his brother Duane in the Los Angeles-based blues-rock band, Hourglass, and was well on his way to becoming the world's greatest white blues singer. Together, this eclectic bunch created an utterly distinct, highly improvisational style. Driven by Butch Trucks' and Jaimoe's relentlessly propulsive, inventive twin drumming, Gregg Allman's bluesy organ comping and Berry Oakley's roaming, melodic basslines, Dickey Betts and Duane Allman crafted a remarkable twin lead guitar approach.

The band's instrumental majesty has at times caused both critics and fans to take the strength of their songwriting for granted. But Hall Of Fame careers are not built on virtuosity alone, and the Allman Brothers Band has survived for a quarter of a century and become an American institution because of the strength of their songbook. From the beginning, the band boasted not one but two excellent writers- Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts-each with his own distinct, and distinctly different, voice. The songs contained here attest to that fact: Allman has penned unforgettable metaphysical blues such as "Dreams," romantic paeans to heroic gypsies like "Melissa" and eerie odes to outlaws like "Midnight Rider." Betts, meanwhile, is...
