Allman Brothers Band - Trouble No More, 50th Anniversary Collection [2020] (5 x CDs)

The Allman Brothers Band - Trouble No More, 50th Anniversary Collection [2020] stands as a significant homage to the enduring influence of one of rock’s most pioneering bands. This collection, released in celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary, encapsulates the lasting resonance of the Allman Brothers Band.

This box set commences with the band’s inaugural recording, an unreleased demo of Muddy Waters’ “Trouble No More”. The band’s distinctive fusion of jazz and country, harmonious tunes, and dynamic slide guitar are immediately apparent. This opening track sets the stage for the remainder of the collection, which traverses the band’s 45-year journey.  This collection distinguishes itself from many other anthologies by not simply repackaging the band’s albums. Instead, it offers a chronological exploration of the band’s evolution, spotlighting pivotal moments and tracks from various eras. This approach enables listeners to witness the progression of the band’s musical style over the years.

This anthology boasts 61 tracks, including seven previously unreleased treasures. These include a 12-minute rendition of “Mountain Jam” performed live at Watkins Glen in 1973, and the silky funk of “I’m Not Cryin’”, recorded live in 1999. These unheard tracks provide fans with a novel insight into the band’s vast repertoire. The anthology concludes with a live rendition of “Trouble No More” from the band’s final performance at New York’s Beacon Theatre. This concluding piece imparts a sense of finality and honors the band’s lasting legacy.

Accompanying the music is a comprehensive 9,000-word essay by John Lynskey, the Executive Vice-President at the Allman Brothers Band Museum. Lynskey’s perceptive commentary offers valuable context and aids listeners in fully grasping the importance of the band’s contributions. This set includes the booklet, further enriching the experience.

This is a meticulously curated tribute to a band that has made a lasting imprint on the realm of rock music offering classics, live performances, and rarities from across their 45-year career. It’s a tribute to the pioneering Southern rock legends and their incredible body of work. This collection promises a deeply satisfying listening experience. (B)
