The Allman Brothers’ first album featuring their new lineup change that resulted from the band’s 1976 breakup. Seeking to recapture their band’s classic sound, The Allman Brothers reunited with producer Tom Dowd for the first time in eight years to record “Enlightened Rogues”, released in 1979. The strategy paid off: the album returned the Allmans to the top 10 and even yielded a top 30 hit, “Crazy Love”, the band’s most successful single since 1973’s “Ramblin’ Man”.
The Allman Brothers Band’s best studio album since Brothers and Sisters is a loud, brash, hard-rocking collection of consistently solid if not first-rate songs. The singing is some of the best since Idlewild South, and although they would do better once they brought in Warren Haynes, the dual-guitar lineup of Dickey Betts and Dan Toler is a reminder of what the group had been missing since Duane Allman’s death. The music isn’t earth-shattering, but it is exciting through and through.
