Duane Allman: An Anthology I & II

I just thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone else is familiar with the Duane Allman Anthology albums. Aside from being co-founder of the southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band he was also a sought-after session musician both before and during his tenure with the band.

Anthology 1 & 2 are two double-album collections, which--besides some Allman Brothers tracks--includes many memorable solos by the distinctive slide guitarist from sessions at the fabled Fame and Muscle Shoals studios.

I discovered these albums about 25 years ago and they both remain in my top 10 all-time favorites. I have them on both vinyl and CD.

Anyone else familiar?

A solid ditto to Hazard's comment on Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me a Dime", one of the top songs on the first Anthology. Another great song on that album is "Go'in Down Slow", a very poignant portrayal of a guy too far gone to recover health and strength, but not so far gone to long for redemption.

I too, have had these two albums since their release. In my opinion they belong in any serious record collection.
