Description
The Allman Brothers Band's album "The Final Note (Painters Mill Music Fair Owings Mills, MD 10-17-71)" is a live recording that captures a significant moment in the band's history. This album is particularly notable as it features one of the last performances of the band's original lineup before the tragic death of their legendary guitarist, Duane Allman, just twelve days later on October 29, 1971.
The recording took place at the Painters Mill Music Fair in Owings Mills, Maryland, on October 17, 1971. This venue, known for its intimate setting and excellent acoustics, provided a fitting backdrop for the Allman Brothers Band's dynamic and soulful performance. The album was released on October 16, 2020, by Allman Brothers Band Recording Company, giving fans a chance to experience this historic concert.
The album opens with "Statesboro Blues," a song that has become synonymous with the Allman Brothers Band. Duane Allman's slide guitar work on this track is nothing short of electrifying, showcasing his exceptional talent and the unique sound that he brought to the band. Gregg Allman's gritty vocals and the tight rhythm section of Berry Oakley on bass and Jaimoe and Butch Trucks on drums set the tone for the rest of the performance.
"Trouble No More" follows, a Muddy Waters cover that the band made their own with their signature blend of blues and rock. The interplay between Duane Allman and Dickey Betts on guitar is a highlight, demonstrating the chemistry and musical telepathy that existed between the two guitarists.
The third track, "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," features Gregg Allman's soulful voice and Hammond organ playing, supported by the band's tight instrumentation. The song's groove and energy are palpable, making it a standout moment in the set.
"Done Somebody Wrong" is another blues cover that the Allman Brothers Band infused with their unique style. Duane Allman's slide guitar once again takes center stage, delivering a performance that is both technically impressive and emotionally charged.
"One Way Out," a song that would later become a staple of the band's live shows, is performed with raw energy and intensity. The call-and-response between Gregg Allman's vocals and the guitars of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts is a testament to the band's cohesive sound and musical prowess.
The album also includes "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," an instrumental track written by Dickey Betts. This performance of the song is a masterclass in improvisation and musicianship, with each member of the band contributing to the intricate and evolving musical landscape. Duane Allman's guitar solos are particularly noteworthy, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotion through his playing.
"Midnight Rider," one of the band's most beloved songs, is performed with a sense of urgency and passion. Gregg Allman's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, and the band's tight arrangement highlights the song's timeless appeal.
The album closes with "Hot 'Lanta," an instrumental track that features the band's signature blend of blues, rock, and jazz influences. The interplay between the musicians is seamless, and the track serves as a fitting conclusion to the concert.
"The Final Note" is a poignant and powerful reminder of the Allman Brothers Band's musical legacy and the immense talent of Duane Allman. The recording quality, while not perfect, adds to the raw and authentic feel of the performance. For fans of the band and lovers of classic rock and blues, this album is a must-listen, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of one of America's greatest rock bands.
