On Sunday mornings we listen to Blues Deluxe out of Arlington Texas. They played a cut from Gregg Allmans new album and were giving a copy away. My wife has entered this before and won a CD. I said hey babe they're giving a copy of this away, enter and see if you can win it. She sent my name in and I got the CD in the mail this week. We're just coming off of vacation so I've only listened to it twice through but it is a very nice effort, great stuff. I would call it dinner blues. Perfect to listen to over Dinner. He's sounding great especially coming off of a liver transplant surgury. If you're an Allman bros. fan it is a must have. There's a great story in the cover talking about Gregg and Duane at ages 10 & 11 witnessing a Muddy Waters concert in Nashville. It says that after seeing women swinging their purses, raising their dresses and the crowd shouting Duane looked at Gregg and said we gotta get into some of this. Buy it now!

Any harp on the album?

Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy.

no harp, and that should..
not surprising since they mixed harmonica out of seminal live recordings... allman brothers and clapton killed harmonica in modern rock blues.. pigpen died on his own.

No harp so it makes a great CD to jam with, talk about Jam tracks.
Hey Walter, I have "From the Cradle" and it has some great harp stuff on it, Jerry Portnoy. I really like some of his licks on that CD.

I agree with "from the cradle", but at the pivotal point, the allman brothers, the live filmore album that mixed out the harp that was on stage for most songs, the most of the blues put out by clapton after he left blues breakers during the years when he was most influential.. no harp.
it is in some of the music from that time, but it seems like an important changeover to all guitars, maybe a keyboard right when the rock/ blues genera was defined. sour grapes i guess :-)

Understood, I didn't realize that. You know, From the Cradle was a sort of back to his roots effort.
I'm sorry I didn't get to see Duane play with Gregg before he passed but the Allman Bros. always put on a good live show back in the 70's, at least the times that I saw them. I have some killer slides of Gregg playing keyboard and looking right at me that I need to make digital.

Thats because there weren't any good harp players in the uk then, it's as simple as that, there was John Mayall, of course, but no Butterfield.
We have no Missisipi here...........
Pete Green did a bit with FM but John was the main harp mover and he was not a virtuoso on the harmonica by any means.
