Eat A Peach was a part live part studio double album. It includes the final recordings of guitarist founder member Duane Allman who was killed in a motorcycle accident. (US:4)
“The album's tortured history is well documented and that background makes it an even more impressive package. I'm hard pressed to think of another band that in the wake of a massive loss like Duane Allman's death, couldn't have found the inner strength and courage to pick up the pieces of their personal and professional lives to complete an album.”
“The Allman Brothers were a band of two sides: the classic radio-friendly hit drenched in Southern comfort and the extended jam. In this double album consisting of nine songs, the Brothers provide plenty of both.”
“Mountain Jam is the crux of Eat A Peach, and possibly the best recorded jam ever. For anyone who is a fan of southern rock, this is a must have. I could go on for a long time about why but that would be saying too much about such a simple yet elegant work of art.”
“Released less than four months after Duane Allman's death, Eat A Peach gathers together the final tracks laid down by the original band, the only studio documentation of the short-lived five-man, one-guitar line-up and the remaining performances from the concerts which had yielded the epochal At Fillmore East album. Far from being a stereotypical posthumous odds and ends collection, Eat A Peach is a treasure trove containing much of the Brothers' best work, and stands right at the very apex of their stupendous body of recordings.”
“Rock with a very strong southern influence. The album flows really well and it becomes apparent that these guys are great song writers. From the rocking opening track there is a great diversity throughout.”
“This is a really effective mix of studio tracks and live performances. The guitarist Duane Allman died during the recording of this album and Eat A Peach was dedicated to his memory. The material is mostly jam band kind of stuff with some magnificent double guitar playing by Duane Allman and Dicky Betts.”
