Hittin' the Note album Product Description
Hittin' the Note album by Allman Brothers Band was released Dec 06, 2011 on the Allman Brothers Band label. "Instrumental Illness" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.34 years down the line, the Allman Brothers Band shows why they've managed to remain a top concert draw and a vital musical presence. Even a cursory listen to HITTIN' THE NOTE reveals that the band never abandoned the agreeable blend of blues, rock, and country that earned them so much attention from the outset. Hittin' the Note songs Original guitarists Dickey Betts and Duane Allman are long gone, of course, but singer/keyboardist Greg Allman and drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe are still on hand from the original lineup, providing a strong musical through line. Hittin' the Note album The guitar team of Warren Haynes and young Derek Trucks (Butch's nephew) tears it up in a properly bluesy fashion throughout. Whether they're tackling an acoustic-based, country-tinged ballad like "Old Before My Time," a simmering slow blues with "Desdemona," or strutting their polyrhythmic stuff on "Rockin' Horse," it's clear that this is a band that has followed its musical vision without wavering, and the depth of its commitment is palpable on the aptly titled HITTIN' THE NOTE. ...See Full Description

| 30 Years of Consistency..... I was at the very first Allman Bros. concert in Piedmont Park in Atlanta in the late 60's and have followed these gents for almost 40 years. They have remained true to their roots. This album has some real gems on it showing off the virtuosity of Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks on guitar, with Gregg's signature soulful vocals (Haynes sings well too!) Desdimona is classic southern blues with an extended Allman jazz jam in the middle. Maydell has dueling wah-wah guitars that just smoke the speakers...a great shuffle. Overall, I think this is the best studio album (OK the first in 13 years) that they have cut in 20 years. Also, the Allmans remain a top-notch live act with power, style, and soul.

| Best Allman Brothers since "Eat A Peach" I have seen other reviews by so called 'music critics' that stated there was nothing new sounding on this CD. When you have a sound like the Allman Brothers, what do you need to change? Fantastic slide work, great harmony dual guitar solos, strong vocals and percussion. Buy it!

| Allman Bros. Rule Southern Blues/Rock Genre "Hittin' the Note" confirms the AB Band as the South's premiere studio ensemble following their outstanding live show preserved on DVD at NY's Beacon Theater. We miss Duane, Berry and Dickey, but the new blend of Haynes and Trucks takes AB music to a whole new level. Bravo to 35 years of making music and this new CD returns the band to the pinnacle of Southern rock. By phred1 (Sweeny, TX, USA) This review is for a different format. |
