The Road Goes on Forever

 
Album Review: The Road Goes on Forever

Review

A two-LP set compiled from The Allmans' first five albums and rushed out for the 1975 Christmas season when Win Lose Or Draw took a quick nosedive on the charts. It features a lot of good music, but The Allmans aren't a singles band, so compilations don't really do them justice unless, like Dreams, they have a lot of time to do so. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
