10 hot takes on The Allman Brothers Band's “Brothers of the Road”
These are not the Allman Brothers you’re looking for.
Starts with promise, but give it 10 seconds and you’ll be disappointed.
The Brothers of the Road straight to nowhere.
Is this the Allman Brothers or Doobie Brothers?
Steve Martin may have been listening to this when he got the idea for his book, “Pure Drivel.”
Profusely dull, lachrymose, misguided, empty, and wrong.
It's obvious this was released before the advent of Viagra because it is positively flaccid.
There is a moment where the band clicks into a groove on Leavin’, but that’s an eccentric aberration.
The patented Dickey Betts guitar solo(™) is reduced here to a bleating, repetitive cry for help.
Sometimes I feel like I’ve been tied to the Listening Post.
