Title: Without Duane Allman? They're Just Another Band
Product review: Eric Clapton was still seeing "Clapton is God!" spray-painted on subway walls worldwide when he began jamming with the Allman Brothers' lead guitar *genius* Duane Allman. Clapton was held in complete awe of Duane's skills. Eric publicly called Allman "the greatest guitarist in the world". Together, as a side project, they formed Derek + The Dominoes, recording one album together, "Layla + Other Love Songs", (1970), before Duane died of massive head injuries in a 1971 motorcycle wreck. (I've hated motorbikes ever since. Damnable death-traps!)The Allman Brothers themselves rank as my favorite American band. Today's lineup of the ABB (2010) is very, very good. Yet for a few years after Duane's 1971 death, they largely just stumbled along by comparison, period, as this recording shows.
