Gregg Allman Laid Back Rock Music CD Review

Clyde Lee Dennis asked:


I can describe the latest release from Rock sensation Gregg Allman for you with just one word… Outstanding!

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 isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Overall Laid Back is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Queen Of Hearts, track 4 – Don’t Mess Up A Good Thing, and track 8 – Will The Circle Be Unbroken.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Midnight Rider. Great track!
