Release Notes:
--------
For a band whose genius shone brightest on a concert stage, it makes sense that
when Idlewild South was released, it only generated a so-so response. The
explosive, rough magic that burned so feverishly in a live setting was almost
impossible to capture as a still life. The Allman Brothers Band were their best
as a willful, fluid, ever-changing beast that reinvented itself from show to
show and song to songùcapable of great flights of fury and fancy, as ornery
acolytes of John Coltrane as they were when they stole the thunder and pain from
blues masters like Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon. The idea of constraining those
unruly Southerners in a studio seemed an anathema. So they avoided it as long as
they could, remaining on the road for 300 days in 1970. It took a producing
behemoth like Tom Dowd to turn that live mastery into something more contained
and mannered, recording them in fits and starts over five months in three
different studios, when they probably should have unleashed their formidable
powers with a live album. As a result, Idlewild South is the album before the
album that turned the Allman Brothers into supernovas (1971Æs At Fillmore East).
But it did show what they were capable of, from the sultry balladry of Gregg
AllmanÆs ôPlease Call Homeö to the gospel charge of ôRevival,ö to the stately
lament of ôIn Memory of Elizabeth Reed.ö But it was ôMidnight Rider,ö a number
Gregg Allman penned with band roadie Kim Payne, that elevates this recordùa song
that spoke loudly to an outsider generation that survived the æ60s as much as it
does today. The album was remastered and re-released for the 45th anniversary
purportedly in an expanded formùthere were very few outtakes from the sessions,
given that it was recorded on the fly, on brief breaks between tour stops. To
make up for that, there are nine tracks included from the very excellent Live at
Ludlow Garage album, recorded in 1970, which contain some candid stage-speak
from Duane Allman, as well as a rare vocal from the elder Allman on ôDimples.ö
