With their dueling guitar leads and harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, the Allman Brothers Band cast the mold for the southern rock sound that would proliferate in the 70s. Virtuoso musicians, their songs drew upon a number of southern influences, including country, the blues, New Orleans jazz, and even gospel, creating a sound that was distinctly theirs. Decade of Hits is a great catalog of the Allman s at their guitar wielding best. The sweet, infectious harmonies on the instrumental Jessica have become a classic reference point in themselves. Next to the tragedies that plagued them--two motorcycle deaths, heroin addiction--the Allman s are probably best known for the heroic Ramblin Man. Written and sung by the now legendary Dickey Betts, the song contained everything that made the band great: intricate guitar harmonies, a strong melody, and just enough twang to keep the thing tight. Decade also contains Allman staples Melissa, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, and Southbound. --Steve Gdula

The Allman Brothers - The Midnight Rider Gregg Allman and The Allman Brothers Band, includes the songs Ramblin Man and Melissa The Allman Brothers have gotten into the 2008 Presidential race - Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group)

One of the finest anthologies out there! - The Allmans Brothers Band was one of the greatest rock groups in the world and this CD is the one to own if you don t want to drag out 4 or 5 CD s to hear your favorite cuts. All of their first four albums are superb but this CD captures the essence of those. I m sure there will be a favorite missing, like Done Somebody Wrong one of my faves, but if you re looking for one CD that captures their magic, this is the best one to have. I saw them a few times live between 1970 and 1971, and they were the finest live band I ve ever seen. I recommend all of their first five albums, but if you don t have the time, money or room, this CD is your logical choice. Outstanding and if I was on a desert island, this would be one of my picks.

Great CD ~ Great Price - This CD has all the classic Allman Brothers hits. All top hits at a top price. What more can you ask?

Good Collection - A good collection of Allman Brothers music on one cd. I have most of the songs on several other cd s but liked having them all on one. Recommend to Allman Brothers music fans.

Steve Gluda mistake - Don t mean to be picky, but I m a big fan of Billy Joe Shaver and just wanted to let Steve know that B.J. wrote Rambling Man, but Betts did do a great job. A little side note, a friend of mine was a nurse in a drug-treatment facility in Atlanta where Gregg and Dicky were treated. She said Betts was a great guy and Allman was a real jerk.
