The Allman Brothers’ first album featuring their new lineup change that resulted from the band’s 1976 breakup. Seeking to recapture their band’s classic sound, the Allman Brothers reunited with producer Tom Dowd for the first time in eight years to record Enlightened Rogues, released in 1979. The strategy paid off: the album returned the Allmans to the top 10 and even yielded a top 30 hit, Crazy Love, the band’s most successful single since 1973’s Ramblin’ Man.
This might be the best debut album ever delivered by an American blues band, a bold, powerful, hard-edged, soulful essay in electric blues with a native Southern ambience. Some lingering elements of the psychedelic era then drawing to a close can be found in “Dreams,” along with the template for the group’s on-stage workouts with “Whipping Post,” and a solid cover of Muddy Waters’ “Trouble No More.” There isn’t a bad song here, and only the fact that the group did even better the next time out keeps this from getting the highest possible rating.
