Search - Gregg Allman :: The Solo Years 1973-1997: One More Silver Dollar

Raven presents the first comprehensive, multi-label single CD covering the solo years of GREGG ALLMAN, one of the greatest American musicians of the rock era. The Solo Years 1973-1997: One More Silver Dollar is brimming with exciting R&B, soul, gospel and rock sounds with Gregg's warm and raspy voice well to the fore. As singer, organ player and songwriter for the multifarious Allman Brothers Band, Gregg established an identity as a master of Southern Rock. This is the first time that the best of his solo recordings for both Capricorn and Epic/Sony have been combined on the one CD. Culled from six solo albums, spanning 25 years, this is Gregg establishing his own identity often in a more soulful, less supercharged setting than the powerful Southern blues-rock for which the Allman Brothers had became known. One More Silver Dollar boasts the hit singles 'Midnight Rider' (from 1973's Laid Back) and 'I'm No Angel' (from the 1987 album of same name), plus 'Queen of Hearts', the funky 'Let This Be a Lesson to Ya', 'Demons' and 'Whipping Post' plus covers of Jackson Browne's 'These Days', Clarence Carter's 'Slip Away', James Carr's 'The Dark End of the Street', John Hiatt's 'Memphis in the Meantime' and a compelling live rendition of the Fontella Bass hit 'Don't Mess Up a Good Thing'. With superb quality audio, detailed liner notes, colour booklet.
