Thank you for doing all that typing. One of the best albums ever made. Saw this tour at the brand new Capitol Center in 1973. Leave my ashes in the Seventies please.
@@johncarlo2630it is not music by definition. Rhythm over spoken word does not fit the bill as being music. But some still want to call it songs or music. 😅
@@johncarlo2630 it is not music period. I agree it is an art form but very low on the totem pole if you will. It is very limited and therefore is missing the energy that music is capable of.
The guitar solo in Jessica is my all-time favorite guitar solo. No one who has ever picked up a Guitar can express pure joy through lead guitar like Dickey Betts. No one.
Offered up the rest of my 8 tracks in 1998... someone actually bought them. One was my treasured, unopened copy of the music from movie, " Easy Rider"... anouther good album. Hava great day 🕊
Dickey Betts is an incredible musician and songwriter. His guitar playing is awesome. After Duane and Berry's deaths he stepped up bigtime and was a major reason in the band continuing after those two major losses.
Came out right as my freshman year at Macalester College in St. Paul was starting and it was EVERYWHERE. Probably heard at least some of it every day - out of a dorm room, out of a dorm window loud as hell with everyone throwing frisbees on the commons... just so good. I actually think it's an underrated or at least an underknown album. It's like the Brothers' American Beauty or Brown Album.
Seen this band multiple times in N.J. 74 / 78 such talent, southern rock bands were popular, many great bands and great times, so glad I was able to grow up in this error. Ticket prices were $8 $12 dollars, fun times, great friends, good music, Dave
This album was my first southern Rock LP two years later I saw Lynard Skynard Been a southern Rock Fan now for 51 years and counting The greatest music ever
I bought this album in 73, when I was 14, and war it out!😮😊😊! I would have loved to have seem the brothers with Duane back in the day, but I was only 11 when he sadly passed!😢
Allman Brothers and Rambling Man was not considered country then. They were southern rockers/blues just like others at that time - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchett, Black Oak Arkansas...wonderful time for music.
I saw an interview with Butch Trucks where he was talking about how they needed one more song for this album. Dickey had this song, a country tinged song he wrote, but he didn't think it was an Allman Brothers song. That song was Ramblin' Man. As the story goes, Greg remembers Dickey taking he and Butch Trucks out to the country and played it for them. After he finished, Greg told him what a great song he thought it was. They convinced him that it was an Allman Brothers song as well and definitely needed to go on the album. . It's ended up being one of their signature songs still to this day. Can't hardly imagine the album without it.
I saw the Allman Bros two weeks before Duane died and they were amazing. Then I saw them a year later. They hadn’t replaced Duane yet. Dickey played so well that there times I couldn’t tell that Duane wasn’t on stage.
@@tommccarter6191 I always thought it was interesting that they never considered getting another guitar player. Greg made a solo album titled Laid Back, and during those sessions the producer introduced Greg to a keyboard player by the name of Chuck Leavell. Greg was so impressed with his playing that he convinced the rest of the Allman Brothers to have him sit in on the Brothers and Sisters album. It wasn't long before they made him a permanent member and he completely enhanced their sound by having a piano which blended in nicely with Greg's organ playing.
Great album! Got them the Rolling Stone Band of the year for 73. Dicky shines on masterpiece "Jessica" as well as Chuck on piano. BEST F-CKING BAND EVER! EVER!!!
In 73 I was working part time on weekends booking groups in nightclubs on the gulf coast. We had groups like Cornbread for $400 a week plus rooms then at the top of our book was the Allman Brothers Band for either $10,000 or $25,000 I can't remember which. I thought we booked them for $10k but Gregg said they got $25K. Of course we never booked the big bands. I thought I had Ted Nugent and Brownsville Station booked for about $3K at Eglin AFB but they chose Canned Heat thru another agency.
49 year anniversary. Seven7 times Seven7 you starpeoples! Oh my Word... 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠 Gold. Platinum. Diamonds and Emeralds and Rubies. The Magic Kingdom is right here... pardon my musing, but in view of the world's tragic sudden loss of the incomparable DUANE ALLMAN, virtuoso among virtuosos... isn't it DREAMSY to wonder if Duane was channeling the masterpiece vibes to the band? Big smiles from the Skydog to the greatest American Rock N Roll band in the past half century..... errr?... BEST EVER !!! --- GREAT MUSIC ARCHIVE, Oct22, 2022
Dickie Betts was my first guitar hero that wasn't my dad. I was ten. This album and a teddy bear were my first crush gifts from a boy. I think I was in 8th grade... Dennis Doane, you have no idea how spot on the album was. STILL love this album.
@@martinoultonjr8779 The Exorcist is full of subtle (and not so subtle) images and scenes that actually foretell future events in the film. William Friedkin is a genius, as is Stanley Kubrick. I would highly recommend: The Exorcist, the director's cut.
Chuck Leavell played on Greg's solo album Laid Back. The band didn't know if they should try replacing Duane by getting another guitar player or not. Greg had been telling the band how he'd never heard a better piano player than Chuck Leavell. So the band agreed to have him play piano on the album and eventually asked him to join. He made his mark on this album for sure. His playing is awesome all thru this album.
I was just watching a recording of the Rolling Stones live in Japan in 1990. The keyboard player impressed me enough....I was compelled to find out his name. The name is Chuck Leavell and he sounds terrific. I am enjoying Brothers and Sisters and appreciate Leavell's contribution.
This album was released during the fall of my last year of high school. I get a little melancholy hearing some of these songs like Ramblin' Man, Come and Go Blues, and even Jessica, as they in some strange way remind me of how I was thinking at the time that we would soon be graduating, saying goodbye to each other, and going our separate ways.
THANKS for uploading this. I heard "Come and Go Blues" from this album yesterday.. probably the first time in 40 years when I last listened to the whole album. This album reminds me of cruising Jamestown backroads on Friday nights listening to KSHE's Album of the Week. "Dark Side of the Moon" was another. Amazing we survived those days, especially thinking many other teens were probably doing the same. Rest In Peace Dickie Betts, Brother Gregg, Butch, Berry, and Lamar.. the music lives on.
This album is indescribable just so awesome. dickie Betts, and Chuck Lavelle, and the rest. The band members are just incredible.. not to mention that voice of Gregg Allman is incredible
Man, just enjoying again and wondering: In the whole Allman Brothers lineup of albums, is there a stronger One-Two punch than “Southbound” and “Jessica”?
Not looking too good for the ol' prez these days. Can't wait until he leaves the WH and they slap the cuffs on him! Tennessee is beautiful, though, I can't argue with that.

Leave my ashes in the Seventies please.
I named my first daughter Jessica. Southbound is one of my top favorites.
Who needs 80s or 90s and beyond, I'll stay in this decade ✌️☮️👍🔊
I will join you!
I’m glad new bands are making music, I’m just not interested in any of it......It’s the 60s and 70’s for this kid.
@@arthurhoffman6520 100%
I stay in the 70's and earlier no doubt...
IVE BEEN STUCK IN THE 70s FOR PAST 6 YEARS.
CANT GET OUT 🎧🎸🔊🤘🤘
Every time I hear Jelly Jelly I’m reminded what superb blues guitarist Dickey Betts was. Every note has meaning. RIP Mr. Betts.
Real music played by real musicians.
Agreed, people who call rap, music, I ask, what musical instruments are used to produce that crap
@@johncarlo2630 I agree with you, Terrible stuff.
@@johncarlo2630it is not music by definition. Rhythm over spoken word does not fit the bill as being music. But some still want to call it songs or music. 😅
@@rickmerritt128 I’m willing to concede that it is an art form. It’s just not music to my ears
@@johncarlo2630 it is not music period. I agree it is an art form but very low on the totem pole if you will. It is very limited and therefore is missing the energy that music is capable of.
This album should be on the Smithsonian.
Bet you it is !
Amen! Right on!
Southern rock at it's finest...ABB...
The guitar solo in Jessica is my all-time favorite guitar solo. No one who has ever picked up a Guitar can express pure joy through lead guitar like Dickey Betts. No one.
Word 🙌🏼
Ahhh, perhaps B.B. King, just as much.
Frampton is pretty darn good at amazing joyful riffs. He has such fun playing them.
don't force your trip is what I would have said to you in 1973
Played this everyday for months in 73
This was one of the first 8-tracks I ever owned. Got it for my 11th birthday. Good memories...
The pleasures of my favorite childhood gifts!
Got on vinyl for my 13th. Still have it plus the MFSL Superdisc Gold CD as posted here.
Offered up the rest of my 8 tracks in 1998... someone actually bought them. One was my treasured, unopened copy of the music from movie, " Easy Rider"... anouther good album.

I agree 100% until he drank his talent away.
Just saw his son duane betts play in june. Looks and sounds like his dad
You nailed it and continued until difficult times he was the inspiration for brothers and sisters ,every hit
50 years old this month...a absolute gem of an album despite absolute hardship at the time. ABB forever!
Hearing for the first time and loving. Amazing album.
Dickey Betts takin that ride,RIP Brother
Well said. Good luck to you Robert

I was 14 layin on the floor with my head between the speakers i was in music is my life
You too?
every tune, every track is amazing
Легендарно,одрастао са овим албумом .
This album was my first southern Rock LP two years later I saw Lynard Skynard Been a southern Rock Fan now for 51 years and counting The greatest music ever
We wore this album out. Of course we wore all ABB albums out. It's amazing the country tune Rambling Man was their biggest hit.

Gotta say that Duane gets all the fluff but Dickey is every bit as badass as Duane ever thought about being, they were both insurmountable
What an amazing album. Could Greg Allman bring any more to the table than he did in this endeavor? Brilliant
Except Dicky done the most.

This is the stuff that you need to have in your music archives! The whole album is classic!
Been to many years since I listened to this. Shame on me 😎
Always awesome to flashback. But thank God for Blackberry Smoke. Something in that Georgia water .
One of the greatest albums by one of the greatest Southern Rock bands. Anyone recall hearing rambling man during the movie, The Exorcist?
yes. what a subtle way to re enforce the priest doubting his faith.

Absolutely I did and do
Masterpiece
Number one album of the Allman brothers band 👌🏽
remembering listening to "Jessica" on CHOM-FM in Montreal when FM radio was in it's early years.
With Lafluer, Cournoyer, Lemaire, Shutt, Lapointe, Savard, Robinson, Langway, Beliveau, Mahovlich, Gainey, Dryden, Laroque, Larouche, Richard and Rusty & Raines & Carter & Dawson ...
Now that really brings back some great memories!!! Good 'ol CHOM FM!!! Parfait!!! 👍🌟🖖

One of my many favorite Allman Brothers albums...
Brutal! Una joya este lp es uno de de los mejores que tengo en mi coleccion, jelly jelly para mi es la mejor de este lp, ALL MAN BROS!
Absolutely agree. I post a comment along those lines today.
Although it’s hard to top Jessica. This whole album is unbelievably going.

Classic. Duane Allman was gifted.
He was, but he didn't play on this album.
Their top selling album did not include Duane at least in physical form but in spirit, most likely.
Their top selling album did not include Duane in physical form but most likely he was there in spiritual form.
Just as I was listening to the allman brothers again recently, I heard the news of Dickey Betts' passing... Very sad.
Some albums take me back to my teenage years. This one definitely does.
Gracias por ayudar a recordar a los Allman! Thanks for helping remember the Allmans! (Jorge Villa).
Thanks, great music, good time for you
Richard Betts "Dickey" is a complete virtuoso with many masterpieces a true artist
An amazing band. I just picked up this lp, and I love it.

A Preffered favorite....I NEVER HAD ANY!

I had this on cassette before I bought the album. Good stuff, Maynard! I got this tape, and Moody Blues' "Seventh Sojourn" as birthday gifts one year.
