Johnny Preston
One word describes the CD Searching For Simplicity from Gregg Allman... AWESOME!
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Gregg Allman's most impressive releases ever.
If you're a Gregg Allman fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Come Back And Help Me, track 4 - Silence Ain't Golden Anymore, and track 13 - Startin' Over.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Whippin' Post. Wow!
