The first Allman Brothers LP recorded completely without the recently fallen Duane, Brothers & Sisters (’73) was a decisive creative rebirth for one of the most influential American bands of the era. With Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts assuming more prominent roles in the band’s direction, the Allmans not only delivered an artistic triumph, but also their best-selling record to date. Brothers & Sisters spent five weeks at #1 and became the first Allman release to go platinum. Here you’ll find their biggest smash, Ramblin’ Man, and the instant-classic hit Jessica plus Wasted Words; Jelly, Jelly; Southbound, and more. Here’s this pivotal chapter in the Allman Brothers saga, newly remastered on CD or vinyl. Disc two of the deluxe edition adds the Early Morning Blues outtake and A Minor Jam plus rehearsal takes of Wasted Words; Trouble No More; One Way Out, and more unreleased recordings. Discs three and four of the super-deluxe edition add 1973 live-at-Winterland recordings of Whipping Post; Jessica; Midnight Rider; Stormy Monday; One Way Out, and more, the majority of ’em previously unreleased!
