Negative Positive
Title: A few good songs, but not one of his best
Review: This album was a comeback album for Gregg in 1987, after 5 years of playing clubs & bars. It features former Allman Brothers guitarist Dan Toler, who never had the gritty, bluesy chops of Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Duane Allman or current ABB slide prodigy Derek Trucks. The title track was a top40 hit & still gets plenty of airplay on album rock stations 12 years later. The album is just overproduced.I would recommend passing on this one & picking up something from the Allman Brothers Band in the 1990s (An Evening With.. or Seven Turns) to hear what real blues-rock sounds like. For a taste of Gregg's solo career, Searchin for Simplicity (1997) may be his best solo effort of this career. It is a much more honest, roots oriented rhythm and blues album without the extra studio production that hinders I'm No Angel.
