Reviews

    Win, Lose or Draw is considered by some to be the Allmans' weakest album, since Dickey Betts had already assumed all of the groups creative control (and would continue to do so with the next few albums.) High Falls proves to be the strongest track on the entire album (all 15 minutes of it!) and Louisiana Lou and Three Card Monty John is also a recommendation for the album.

    After the live album Wipe the Windows, Check The Oil, Dollar Gas, the group split up at the end of 1976, with bassist Lamar Williams and keyboardist Chuck Leavell quitting to form the band Sea Level. Williams, a Vietnam War veteran, died in 1983 of Agent Orange related cancer. The Allmans next studio album, Enlightened Rogues, would be released in 1979.

      extremely underrated issue by one of the all-time great bands. Title track is a tearjerker soulful ballad in 3/4 time by Greg Allman, there are a couple bluesy numbers, an epic jam on the instrumental High Falls and the fun "Louisiana Lou and 3-card Monty John". Mr Betts is in fine form as the lone guitar slinger. New additions Chuck Leavell on keys, and Lamar Williams on bass round out the ensemble helping to create a nice disc in true Allman Brothers fashion.

          Beautiful Allman Brothers Lp.
          Dickie Betts wrote 3 of the 7 cuts on this 1975 album.
          I too disagree with some who describe this recording as “flat”. It is recorded & mixed as well as any of their works.

            I disagree with the people that are saying this is a flat recording that does not sound well. In my system it sounds excellent!!

              A wonderful album, one of my favorites. Lots of heart went into it.

                A very "unclear" sound throughout. I'll give the album two out of five stars.
