I'VE BEEN RUN DOWN
AND I'VE BEEN LIED TO..
The Allman Brothers Band
is the debut
studio album
by American
Rock Band
Produced by
Adrian Barber,
it was released in
the United States
on November 4, 1969,
by Atco Records
subsidiary Capricorn.
Formed in 1969,
the Allman Brothers Band
came together
following various
musical pursuits
by each
individual member.
Guitarist
and bandleader
Duane Allman
moved to
Jacksonville, Florida
where he led
large jam sessions
with his new band,
one he had
envisioned as having
two guitarists
and two
drummers.
After rounding out
the lineup
with the addition
of his brother,
Gregg Allman,
the band moved to
Macon, Georgia,
where they were
to be one of the
premiere acts
on Capricorn.
The album was
recorded and mixed
in two weeks
at Atlantic Studios
in New York City.
Much of its material
was premiered live
over the preceding months
and combines
blues,
jazz
and
country music
to varying degrees.
It includes re-workings
of
"Trouble No More"
and
"Don't Want You No More,"
as well as
notable originals
such as
"Dreams",
which highlighted
the band's
jazz influence,
and
"Whipping Post",
which became a
crowd favorite.
Although the group
was arranged to
work with producer
Tom Dowd
whose credits included
Cream
and
John Coltrane,
he was unavailable,
and they instead
recorded with
house engineer
Adrian Barber.
The album's artwork
was photographed
in Macon
and
surrounding areas.
The record initially
received a
poor commercial response,
charting in the
lower levels
of Billboard's
Top 200
Pop Albums chart.
Despite this,
the album received
critical acclaim
from publications
such as
Rolling Stone,
who called it
"subtle, and honest,
and moving".
Following the band's
increased fame
in the
early 1970s,
