The Allman Brothers’ debut album sounds just like the road-hardened cats they were—a muscular sound, and quite sure of itself. "I remember hearing that first Allman Brothers album for the first time when I put the record on, I was hooked. I thought, 'Wow this is deep and dark and soulful and these guys can really play.' There was something authoritative about it. It was a brand-new band but they seemed to know something that I wanted to know." Bud Scoppa
