Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:The Allman Brothers Band
Song:Jessica
Album:2oth Century Masters-The Millenium Collection:The Best of The Allman Brothers Band




This budget priced comp is a reasonable introduction to The Allman Brothers Band. Any fan is likely to have something a little more comprehensive. It's actually from their biggest selling record Brothers & Sisters. It was their first record after the tragic deaths of guitarist Duane Allman & bassist Berry Oakley. Like most of the songs on that album, Jessica was written by guitarist Dicky Betts and it's a really good rock instrumental track. The group kind of fell apart in the mid 70s when Betts & Gregg Allman started making solo records. I tend to stick to their early music when Duane was alive. I'm not as big on Betts.
