CLEAN 1970 Original with MIDNIGHT RIDER & ELIZABETH REED
The Allman Brothers Band
Idlewild South
USA - (yellow ) - Atco Records - SD 33 - 342
Original 1970 first pressing vinyl in textured thick cover ...the second Allman Brothers album paved the way to their success with the timeless "Midnight Rider" ...
Unlike the Band's self-titled debut album, Idlewild South enjoyed some popular success as well as critical enthusiasm, mostly due to what Rolling Stone magazine called "briefer, tighter, less 'heavy' numbers" which were more radio-friendly. The two most prominent of these were "Midnight Rider" and "Revival", the latter of which, in conjunction with the instrumental "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", foreshadowed the impact of Dickey Betts' songwriting ability upon the band.
The album title stemmed from the band's nickname for a farmhouse it rented in Georgia during the recording, the busy comings and goings at which reminded them of New York City's Idlewild Airport.
If you're going to listen to the Allman Brothers, make sure you have the first four records. THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, IDLEWILD SOUTH, LIVE AT FILLMORE EAST, and EAT A PEACH are the albums the band made with their original lineup, before Duane Allman's fatal motorcycle accident in 1971. IDLEWILD SOUTH, their second album, comes off with a little less ferocity than their debut--which is perhaps the result of reaching for new sounds the second time around. "Revival," the album's opener, introduces Dickey Betts as a composer.
Betts's other contribution to IDLEWILD SOUTH is the legendary jam "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," a centerpiece of the Fillmore East recordings. Gregg's "Please Call Home" and "Midnight Rider" are built around keys, guitar, and terrific hooks, and have a different feel than the band's usual twin Les Paul-and-Hammond sound. That sound is showcased in the balance of Gregg's tunes in the hard blues of "Don't Leave Me Wonderin'" and "Leave My Blues At Home." Though it packs a different punch than 1st THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, IDLEWILD SOUTH is all the more impressive for its mixture of chunky grooves and sophisticated textures.
