The Allman Brothers Band: Down In Texas '71 (CD)

(Allman Brothers Band Recording) 10 track, digisleeve

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, known for its rousing and captivating live performances, releases its critically acclaimed live album Down In Texas '71 in stores July 15 via the Allman Brothers Band Recording Company label. Recorded on September 28, 1971 at the Austin Municipal Auditorium in Austin, TX, the album commemorates a historic show and time period for the iconic band. First released on March 26, 2021 (the anniversary of the band's founding) as an exclusive release available only digitally and through the Big House Museum gift store and online store, the album is now available at retail.
The nine-track collection includes Statesboro Blues, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Stormy Monday, among others. As a bonus, available only on the physical CD, there is an exclusive radio interview with band members Berry Oakley and Duane Allman, recorded just months before this performance.

Down In Texas '71 captures a special snapshot of 1971, a pivotal year for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group. Coming two months after the release of At Fillmore East in July and a month before Duane Allman's death in October, the Austin show presents the original ABB lineup - Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe - at the height of their creativity. The innovative You Don't Love Me and the jazz-inspired Hot 'Lanta hint at where the group might have taken their music had Duane still been alive. In addition, Down In Texas '71 features saxophonist Rudolph Juicy Carter on six of the CD's nine tracks - the most extensive guest appearance made by the band's first incarnation. Juicy and Jaimoe had played together with Percy Sledge, and it was Juicy who coined the name Jaimoe for the drummer born Johnny Lee Johnson.

The album has been called a "must-have" for ABB fans. Jeff Tamarkin of Relix wrote, "The power of the Allman Brothers Band is undeniable on this live recording.... Listening to Dickey Betts and Duane Allman's guitar duel, one is reminded that they were truly one of rock music's most creative and intuitive guitar teams, and Gregg Allman's charisma as a singer and keyboardist is already at its zenith. The members of the rhythm section are nothing to sneeze at either.

Lee Zimmerman of American Songwriter noted, "The opportunity to experience the seminal band in its simplest incarnation, with Duane Allman and Berry Oakley at the helm before the tragedies that took their lives within a year, is in itself worth taking the time to explore further.... Allman's trademark slide guitar is given the prominence it deserves, and the dual drive of Butch Trucks and Jaimoe is, as always, a unique driving force. The blistering takes on Trouble No More, Don't Keep Me Wonderin and Done Somebody Wrong are the obvious highlights..."

"The Allman Brothers Band"

Allman Brothers Band

Amerikanische Gruppe mit Blues- und Country-Western-Einflüssen. Wurde 1969 in Jacksonville (Florida) von den beiden Gitarristen und Brüdern Duane und Gregg Allman gegründet. Den Sound der Gruppe prägen 2 gleichberechtigte Gitarristen und Schlagzeuger. Berühmt wurde die Gruppe vor allem in Europa zunächst weniger wegen ihrer Musik, sondern mehr durch 2 tödliche Motorradunfälle.

Am 29.10.1971 war es Boß Duane Allman, der verunglückte, 1 Jahr später, fast an derselben Stelle, verunglückte Bassist Berry Oakley am 11.11. Gregg Allman formierte die Gruppe mit Gitarrist Dickie Betts, Pianist Chuck Leavell, Schlagzeuger Jai Johanny Johanson und Butch Trucks und dem Bassisten Lamarr Wil|iams neu.

1973 gelang den Allman Brothers weltweit der Durchbruch mit dem Hit „Ramblin' Man'. Seitdem wirkt die Gruppe auch musikalisch sanfter. Boss Gregg Allman machte im Sommer 1975 spektakuläre Schlagzeilen durch 'seine Hochzeit mit Cher (vom Duo Sonny Er Cher) und die nach einer Woche folgende Trennung. Gerüchte wollten von einer Trennung der Gruppe wissen, als die einzelnen Mitglieder Solo-LPs veröffentlichten. Neueste LP: „Brothers and Sisters', von Gregg Allman: „Laid Back', Dickie Betts: „Highway Call'.

Allman Brothers Band

  Ramblin' Man

For the first Allman Brothers Band LP without Duane, guitarist Dickey Betts offered up Ramblin' Man, a song he hoped to pitch in Nashville. Talking to the 'Wall Street Journal,'he said, "In 1969, I was playing guitar in several rock bands that toured central Florida. Whenever I'd have trouble finding a place to stay, my friend Kenny Harwick would let me crash at his garage apartment for a few days in Sarasota. Kenny was a friendly, hayseed-cowboy kind of guy who built fences and liked to answer his own questions before you had a chance. One day he asked me how I was doing and said, 'I bet you're just tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best you can.' I liked how that sounded and carried the line around in my head for about three years. Then one day in 1972, I was sitting in the kitchen of what we called the Big House in Macon, where everyone in the band lived - and decided to finish the lyrics. The words came fast, like I was writing a letter. When [producer] Johnny Sandlin asked if I had any songs for our upcoming album, I ran down 'Ramblin' Man' on my acoustic guitar. Everyone in the room went nuts. My inspiration was Hank Williams's 'Ramblin' Man, ' from 1951. His song and mine are completely different but I liked his mournful, minor-chord feel. Except for Kenny's line, the rest of the lyrics were autobiographical. When I was a kid, my dad was in construction and used to move the family back and forth between central Florida's east and west coasts. I'd go to one school for a year and then the other the next. I had two sets of friends and spent a lot of time in the back of a Greyhound bus. Ramblin' was in my blood But the song, as I originally wrote it, had a country flavor and needed to be Allmanized - given that rock-blues feeling. I thought of Eric Clapton's 'Layla' - which had come out a year earlier - with its long jam at the end. I figured something like that might work. When we went into Capricorn Sound Studios in October '72, 'Ramblin' Man' was the first song we recorded - and it would be [bassist] Berry Oakley's last song before he died in a motorcycle crash a month later. I knew it needed a solid intro to grab the listener. My daddy had been a fiddler and I heard a lot of fiddle music as a child. I had a ukulele and had played along with him. What I came up with for the intro was a fiddle-like opener built on a pentatonic scale - but with me on guitar and Chuck [Leavell] on piano exchanging lines."

Budding guitar star Les Dudek was there when Ramblin' Manwas cut: "Dickey invited me to the studio. They'd record parts and listen back to hear how the song was developing. Dickey kept asking what I thought of his overdubs and I'd tell him. Finally he said to come out in the studio and play it with him. I played the high harmony parts and Dickey played the low ones. After we recorded the first set in the lower register, we overdubbed the same harmonies in the higher register. Then they stacked them all together on the tape. You hear us where the riff starts to repeat and there's a wall of guitars playing harmonies in two octaves."

The result was a #2 single, headlining a #1 album, definitively answering the question of what the Allman Brothers Band would do without Duane.
