It's always easy to judge a recording artist AFTER the artist is gone. BUT, when you are talking about the absolute BEST slide guitarist to every play, it's a no brainer. Duane Allman was like Alvin Lee - there was no one that could touch 'em for what they could do with a guitar. When one thinks of the slide, they think of the one and only Duane Allman. Just to hear him play rock, hillbilly, or blues on his slide will bring tears to anyone who calls themselves a rock aficianado. The late Lonesome Dave Peverett and still alive George Thorogood pay homage to this great. Filmore East and Eat A Peach are two of greatest albums you want to be stranded on an island with - hands down.
as a fan of the blues, i can't recommend this item highly enough a great addition to any quality music collection. the double disc album consists of Allman Brothers music and the bands and artist that inspired Duane's love of music or that he played with. other artists include: Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Otis Rush, Wilson Pickett, Herbie Mann, Sam Samudio, Boz Scaggs, Arthur Conley, Johnny Delaney and Bonnie and Lulu.
The guitar work is amazing.

This is the ultimate example of Duane's great work. This guy, probably more than anyone, was responsible for the birth of southern rock. Here he is heard working with all the Blues, Rock, and Soul greats that he contributed his unparalleled guitar work to. There also is a Volume 1 available. If you are a fan of Blues and Slide Guitar, you will want this in your collection.
Good stuff
