Review about The Allman Brothers Band songs
Named after a song | Reviewer: melissa
    ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band

Being named after a song is something that I have always thought was interesting. Not just because it is a great song, but that because of this song I was named named something completely different than what I was originally supposed to be called. I was supposed to be named Jennifer, but this was my parents favorite song so I guess they changed their minds.

Too real | Reviewer: John
    ------ About the song Dreams performed by The Allman Brothers Band

Driving in to work this morning after a couple of really hard weeks I heard this song and it was like it was speaking right too me. So much so that I had to rewind the radio and listen again (satellite radio has rewind, I'm not crazy!). Suffice it to say, I'm in a better place today and my thought are clearer. I'm never surprised what the right song can do at the right moment.

This song was my prayer | Reviewer: Mary
    ------ About the song I'm No Angel performed by The Allman Brothers Band

While listening to this song one night, I prayed that I could meet someone who evoked as much passion in his music, and love in his heart, and true honesty, as this song emitted. My prayer reached God's ears, and his heart, as he pointed me north to the love of my life. I concentrated hard on what the perfect man for me would be like. I found that man, on a blind date not long after, that I guess, was a date with destiny. We are going on 10 years together, thanks to an angel that listened, a dream that came true, and two beautiful boys born. Try praying during this song - maybe you'll be blessed too!

Possible Lyric Change | Reviewer: Kenneth Willits
    ------ About the song It's Not My Cross To Bear performed by The Allman Brothers Band

In the opening line of the song. "I have not come "Yeah" to testify"
I think that should read "I have not come here to testify" Deep Southern accents pronounce the word "here" as hyear. As in "Come hyear son".

    ------ About the song Keep On Keepin' On performed by The Allman Brothers Band

simple hook with tight players in the backgroung

the solo has keyboardist Chuck Leavell soaring before guitarists Dickey and Dan Toler chase after each other with stylish solos.

My favorite part of the song is the band's playing on the bridge. Very tight and sweet. Gregg sings very well on this one.

My favorite song from the era is Angeline.

    ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band

ha i guess alot of people are named after this song. i always thought i was one of the only teenagers actually named after it. (i'm 15) I'm really happy to be able to say that i was named after such a great song :) and it's always fun to play on the jukebox in a restaurant. i was actually almost named Sweet Melissa and not just Melissa.

beautiful song | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band

I never really listen to this song, but just yesterday I thought of it because I'm actually named after it. I'm fourteen years old and I was told when i was younger that I was named after this song. When I hear it, I'm close to tears because it's so beautiful and I meant so much to my parents that they would basically dedicate this song to me is an honor. I think the song is saying how a guy (Gypsy) always travels everywhere but no matter what, when he gets back home, he'll always be in love with Melissa. It makes me so happy when I think about being that girl and my parents thinking of me as that girl that someone will always love and never let go.

True Love | Reviewer: Melissa
    ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band

I never knew of this song with my name until my engagement party where they had this song and "Chucky's in love" as the theme songs. It's the song now closest to my heart. It signifies me and my husband's love so well. My husband is very free spirited but I know I'll always be his home. As the for all of us, whomever or whatever is our true love and engraved in our hearts...we will always come back to and never really leave.

Great Song | Reviewer: Brandon
    ------ About the song Midnight Rider performed by The Allman Brothers Band

Simple lyrics and a great musical accompaniment that really gets a great point across.

I think this song deserves a lot more credit than it gets. I know I hear a LOT of classic rock on the radio, but I don't hear this one much.

Rob Zombie is obviously a big fan of this song because he used it as an opening theme for his movie "The Devil's Rejects", and the context in which it was used (the way the bad guys were running from the cops while the song played) was just perfect.


Midnight Blues | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Midnight Blues performed by The Allman Brothers Band

Acoustic blues with Dickey Betts...what else could I ask for? His voice and style come from the Crossroads. This song is even more haunting backed by the sorrowful vocals of Gregg Allman. "Lord I wish a tornado would blow my blues away." The blues don't get any better than that. I wish the Allman Brothers, and Dickey Betts in particular, would do MORE acousitc blues songs like this one.
