THE ALLMAN BROTHERS - IDLEWILD SOUTH (GOLD CD)The Allman Brothers Idlewild South Remastered on 24K Gold CD From Mobile Fidelity Limited-Edition - Numbered Pressings! The sophomore release from America's sovereign Southern rock band, the Allman Brothers Idlewild South is easily their greatest studio album. Unlike the band's labyrinthine live shows, which are distinguished by their immense, walloping swamp rock, this album focuses on the considerable songwriting capabilities of Gregg Allman and Dicky Betts. Showcasing the original lineup, before multiple tragedies began taking their toll on the band; the lightning slide guitar of Duane Allman, the vocals and Hammond B-3 of his brother Greg Allman, lead guitarist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley, and the thunderous drum tandem of Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson this album lays bare their talent for weaving disparate but distinctly Southern elements of rock, gospel, soul, jazz, and R&B into a cohesive and original whole. The legendary Tom Dowd oversaw these sessions, which resulted in the Bible-thumping Revival, the smash hit Midnight Rider, the dirty blues of Don't Keep Me Wonderin', the soul-soothing Please Call Home, and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, which would go on to become the penultimate Allman Brothers' concert war-horse. Also Available on 180g MoFi Vinyl. The Allman Brothers Idlewild South Track Listing 1. Revival |
