Y'all already know I abhor this album. Number 28 on Rolling Stones “50 Genuinely Horrible Albums by Brilliant Artists” A well-deserved honor.⁠ Robert Palmer: “Clive Davis thought they were in a position to pump out hit singles for Arista. That explains the glossy sheen on Brothers of the Road and the absence of their signature twin guitar attack. ‘More than any other LP with the Allman Brothers’ name on it, Brothers of the Road is singles oriented. The group’s trademark 2-guitar interplay has been reduced to terse filler on most of the tracks, and there aren’t any of the band’s familiar instrumental rave-up numbers either.’” ⁠
