1) I Know - 1.5 - Took a while to kickstart. Liked the horns.
2) Down Don't Bother Me - 1.5 - nice slide guitar work
3) Don't Miss Me - 2.0 - some nice funk goin' on here
4) Rastaman Chant - 1.0 - too long of a jam for me. never heard the rastaman. heard some of the band snoring. nice flute though
5) Key To The Highway - 2.0 - what I was waitin' for, some nice blues
6) Get Out Of My Life Woman - 1.5 - more blues, but too long and repetitious and stop that wah-wah guitar
7) Anyday - 1.0 - I actually heard keyboads

Too much jam and not enough jelly for me. I guess that should have been expected with the Allmans spinoff.

[FONT=&quot]Track One [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I know……….[/FONT][FONT=&quot]I should have guessed that some of roadsongs would be live!So, we are off to a sitar like guitar solo on track one ……..Immediate impressions were those of “The Allman Brothers “ in style, vocals are prominent and listenable, the over all balance is AOR and quite pleasant . It’s a full sound guitar, drums bass , vocals and brass …………[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Track Two [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Down Don’t Bother Me : [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Nice comfortable guitar based sound which is overlaid with a good vocal …..I was comfortable with the rack and enjoyed what I was hearing .[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Track Three[/FONT][FONT=&quot].Don’t Miss Me: A good rocking riff stats this track: it’s nice stuff , live can be achallenge for some artist to produce a full listenable sound , but here it is not problem and the balance is pleasing too. The guitar work is excellent and the whole rack is entertaining.[/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Track Four[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Rastaman Chant: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Good percussive feel here at the start, moves into a nice m right groove, which is the basis for some guitar work and wind instrument work. If I’m right this owes a debt to Frère Jacque! A bit too long for me at 11 mins![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Track Five[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Key To The Highway : More Of The Same .[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Track Six [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Get Out Of My Life Woman Who Knows: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]A good guitar based groove …it’s a comfortable track but again at 12 mins I think we are into self indulgence [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Track Seven [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Anyday [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Another long track…….Its good quality but, too long at 9.27! [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is a good performance from more than competent musicians but, there is no trail blazing going on here ……….. [/FONT]
