Duane Allman – An Anthology (1972/2016) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

An Anthology is a compilation of songs from guitarist Duane Allman. This double LP consists of a selection of 19 songs Allman contributed to and performed on, such as Aretha Franklin’s, “The Weight,” Derek & The Dominos’ “Layla” and the B.B. King Medley of “Sweet Little Angel/It’s My Own.”

Duane Allman’s greatness was apparent on his recordings with the Allman Brothers, yet there was another side to the superb guitarist. For many years, he was a highly respected session musician, playing on cuts by Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, and Clarence Carter, among others. By including those session cuts, as well as a sampling of his brief sojourn in Eric Clapton’s Derek and the Dominoes and a few rare solo tracks, along with a number of representative Allman Brothers songs, the double-album Anthology winds up drawing a complete portrait of Allman. He may have recorded plenty of other material worth hearing, but this has the bare essentials for an excellent introduction and retrospective. ~~ AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
