Extremely rare 1997 two-CD set on Capricorn/PolyGram. This set was recalled from circulation shortly after release, and is one of Gregg's most sought-after recordings. This is almost entirely composed of previously unreleased demos, alternative and solo versions, which are to be found nowhere else.

I love the mellow, rhythmic miracles from Gregg Allman's unreleased, secret solos. In this CD, you can hear him become. You can hear his pain, his struggles, his love, his passion, his angst. Full of internal struggles, this heartfelt, kind & blessed musician, puts a current spin on EVERY TRACK he records. I don't feel I am listening to something written years ago--or recorded years ago. Maybe that is part of what I gained from living & being born in America. Maybe it is a BIG PART what a true musician can do for us. Make us FEEL. I feel $200 would not have been too much for a CD I never get tired of because it has MUCH variety,talent, depth. This is music from the King of Southern Rock I can feel deep down in my Grinchiest heart anytime of the day or night. I LOVE it!
I bought this a few years ago, it is still one of my favorites. This is a good view of what Gregg is like solo. Most of the songs are recorded well, the song selection is great and I love the vocals. His guitar & piano playing sound, so personal, that is what makes this cd so different. This is as raw as it gets, I hope there is more like this in the future. This shows how talented he really is. Keep in mind this is out of print and the price just keep's going up, so if you want this one you better hurry. Amazon Reviews
