Duane Allman – Skydog: The Retrospective – 7 CD – Rounder/Umg 12-03-2013
Anche questo cofanetto si prospetta interessante (a parte il prezzo, che sarò piuttosto salato, abbondantemente oltre i 100 euro, ma alla grande, a meno che non viviate in America): anche se per chi ha già le due Duane Allman Anthology e il box Dreams degli Allman Brothers… Se aggiungiamo che, probabilmente, per problemi di copyright il box non sarà pubblicato in Europa, il gioco varrà la candela?

Mi sono letto le liste dei brani nei cofanetti citati in principio di Post ed effettivamente c’è molta roba, rara ed interessante, tutta riunita insieme, ed è anche questo uno dei punti positivi, oltre al fatto che il box, oltre che dalla figlia di Duane, Galadrielle Allman (bel nome), è stato curato dal mitico Bill Levenson, tornato in auge ultimamente. Sul sito degli Allman, Hittinthenote.com, dice testualmente “The 129 song set includes several unreleased performances” anche se senza specificare quante e quali.
Io vi ho informato, poi fate voi!
