Allman Brothers Band [1970] Idlewild South

[01] Revival
[02] Don't Keep Me Wonderin'
[03] Midnight Rider
[04] In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed
[05] Hoochie Coochie Man
[06] Please Call Home
[07] Leave My Blues At Home



amg: The best studio album in the group's history, electric blues with an acoustic texture, virtuoso lead, slide, and organ playing, and a killer selection of songs, including "Midnight Rider," "Revival," "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" in its embryonic studio version, which is pretty impressive even at a mere six minutes and change. They also do the best white cover of Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" anyone's ever likely to hear.
