Produktbeschreibungen

 
Ihr erstes vollständiges Studioalbum ohne den Gitarristen Duane, Brothers and Sisters (1973), erreicht nicht mehr das Niveau der vorhergehenden Werke, würde aber wahrscheinlich bei den meisten anderen Bands als Meisterwerk bezeichnet. Die Allmans bewegen sich weg von dem schrofferen Bluesrock und hin zu einem eher "groovy" klingenden Southern Rock -- eine Verschiebung, die den stärkeren Einfluss von Dickey Betts und dem neuen Pianisten Chuck Leavell widerspiegelt. Betts steuert seine alten Kamellen bei wie "Ramblin' Man", "Southbound", das zum Klassiker gewordene Instrumentalstück "Jessica" und das Akustik-Finale "Pony Boy", das seine Arbeit mit der Dobro präsentiert. Greggs Wirkung ist bei weitem nicht mehr so stark wie sie einmal war, obwohl sein "Come And Go Blues" und "Jelly Jelly" ins Schwarze treffen. Der ursprüngliche Bassist Berry Oakley verstarb in der Zeit dieser Aufnahmen und ist nur bei zwei Stücken zu hören. --Marc Greilsamer

Audio
Die Allman Brothers Band verlor Duane Allman, bei den Aufnahmen zu Brothers And Sisters starb Berry Oakley; Ramblin'Man und Jessica sind dennoch starke Southern-Rock-Songs, nun leicht aufgemöbelt.

Review by Bruce Eder
Brothers and Sisters, the Allman Brothers Band's first new studio album in two years, shows off a leaner brand of musicianship, which, coupled with a pair of serious crowd-pleasers, "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica," helped drive it to the top of the charts for a month and a half and to platinum record sales. This was the first album to feature the group's new lineup, with Chuck Leavell on keyboards and Lamar Williams on bass, as well as Dickey Betts' emergence as a singer alongside Gregg Allman. The tracks appear on the album in the order in which they were recorded, and the first three, up through "Ramblin' Man," feature Berry Oakley — their sound is rock-hard and crisp. The subsequent songs with Williams have the bass buried in the mix, and an overall muddier sound. The interplay between Leavell and Betts is beautiful on some songs, and Betts' slide on "Pony Boy" is a dazzling showcase that surprised everybody. Despite its sales, Brothers and Sisters is not quite a classic album (although it was their best for the next 17 years), especially in the wake of the four that had appeared previously, but it served as a template for some killer stage performances, and it proved that the band could survive the deaths of two key members.
