Rhythm And Feeling

Okay, "Every Hungry Woman"
is kicked off by some good slide
guitar, then the group pulsates
through it with remarkable unity -
the rhythm guitar takes up a
complex and "raunchy" line, over
which Duane Allman and Dick
Betts play some really precise lead
workings. Greg Allman's vocals and
organ work are typically excellent.

As interpreters of good hardplayin'b
blues, the Allman Bros.
Band are nonpareil. They have a
fantastic sense for rhythm and a
unified feeling for improvisation
that is rarely heard, and their
musical execution of the whole
shebang literally leaves me weak.
Buy it. Listen hard to it. Maybe
even both?
