In fact, outside of “Dreams,” which featured Duane exclusively, Betts and Allman split guitar duties on the record.27

Critic Lester Bangs was emphatic in his praise of the album and became among the ABB’s earliest converts outside of the South. In his February 21, 1970, Rolling Stone review he declared the Allman Brothers the real deal. “For all the white blooze bands proliferating today,” he wrote of the bands that had sprung up in the wake of the British invasion, “it’s still inspiring when the real article comes along, a white group who’ve transcended their schooling to produce a volatile blues-rock sound of pure energy, inspiration, and love.” Bangs heard intentionality in the music.

The Allmans know what they’re doing, and feel it deeply as well, and they communicate immediately. One of the virtues of a simple, standardized form like the blues is that when played right it’s such a comfortable place to return to. The whole album is like that. You’ve been here a thousand times before, and it feels like home instead of mind-numbing banality because the Allmans have mastered the form with rare subtlety, and also because their blues keep you vibrating from one brilliant hard rock interpolation to the next.28
