I've had the vinyl album of Win, Lose or Draw for years and I'm currently in the process of converting over all of my ABB music library to digital and into my MP3.
This is the Allman Brothers' sixth album, one many people never expected to see. Their last release, Brothers and Sisters, came out two years ago, and since then band members have seemed to be spinning off in separate orbits. When work on this album began in the spring, fans sighed in relief. Win, Lose or Draw continues in the tradition established by the ABB from their first record — funky originals and ballads spiced with classic blues and spacey, jazz-tinged instrumental work. Rather than self-consciously trying to break new musical ground here, the band just adds more and better tunes in the veins they mine so well. All but two of the seven tracks — the first and the last — are original. The core is ABB all the way.
With Vicki Lawrence, Linda Blair, Zelda Rubinstein, David Naughton. Syndicated show produced between 1987 and 1989; debuted in the USA in.
'Can't Lose What You Never Had' is a Muddy Waters song (in an interview Waters once named it as his favorite composition) and it's given full Brothers treatment here. Their version is more throbbing and ominous than the original, with insidious slide guitar fills. Allman personalizes the classic lyric a bit, over pulsing and entwining syncopated backing. Betts takes most of the solo rides, stretching out with driving slide and finger work.
Both the title song and 'Nevertheless' were written by Gregg Allman. The latter sounds like a stepchild of a couple of songs from the Brothers' second LP. It has touches of the melancholy melody of 'Please Call Home' and some of the oddly accented and convoluted lick lines of 'Leave My Blues at Home.' Once again, Betts does most of the solo spots. 'Win, Lose or Draw' is the song that hits most people hardest on first hearing. It's an interior monolog movie of a man in jail and the changes he goes through. 'Oh I'm so farrrr away,' Gregg sings with a clear and aching vocal (his voice here isn't as gravelly as usual, which also helps set the mood), and Betts responds with subtle and moving slide work.
