Trouble no more : 50th anniversary collection

"Half a century of Southern rock made by ramblin' men ... The Allman Brothers Band coalesced into a tight, resourceful sextet - rounded out by Duane's kid brother Gregg Allman on vocals, Dickey Betts on guitar, and Butch Trucks as a second drummer - they wrote songs out of necessity but jammed with determination. Their first two studio albums flopped primarily because they focused more on the former and less on the latter. What made them legends was 1971's double live At Fillmore East, which fit a mere seven tracks on four sides and remains one of the most electrifying concert albums ever released".

"Album pick" - "... this 50th anniversary retrospective box set is arguably the only career overview of the band one can call representative ... Trouble No More examines in depth each incarnation and stage of the pioneering rockers. It convincingly formulates the argument that no other American band accomplished more musically (especially live) by seamlessly marrying rock, blues, jazz, and R&B to each other and to extended improvisation ... almost certainly for hardcore fans only (given its cost and [beautifully] assembled excess), it is also the only Allman Brothers Band compilation ultimately worth owning for those same enthusiasts".
