Yeah, I just picked up Beginnings and Eat A Peach the other day. Beginnings as I'm sure you know, compiles the ABB's first two albums on one disc. I've only listened to this one so far. Very, very good stuff. I've owned Derek and the Dominos' Layla album for a while now and it's become one of my favorite rock albums. That's how I first heard of Duane Allman. I'm really glad I discovered the Allman Brothers Band. I had previously brushed them off as 'redneck rock' like Lynyrd Skynyrd or something, but I was very wrong. Up until the death of Duane Allman, they were a wonderful blues-rock band, heavy on the blues guitar. A friend of mine introduced me to them, and I am very grateful.
