![]() ![]() Toler and Heding are pictured on the cover of this LP with Allman, drummer David “Frankie” Toler (Dan’s brother), percussionist Chaz Trippy and bassist Bruce Waibel. His blues-drenched voice, more passionate than ever, is supported by some masterly solos by guitarist “Dangerous” Dan Toler (who also toured with Dickey Betts’s Great Southern band) and former James Brown keyboardist Tim Heding. But four years of constant touring with his former Allman Brothers band-mates who also play on I’m No Angel has laid a rock-solid foundation for Gregg’s welcome return to the studio. ![]() Gregg has called the album, his first recording since 1977, “the finest piece of music I’ve had anything to do with since the old Fillmore East days.” That may be stretching the truth a bit for those who remain loyal to the darting twin-guitar harmonies in early Allman Brothers tracks like Ramblin’ Man. Given the number of scrapes he’s had with drugs, alcohol and the law, there’s no reason to doubt Allman’s word when he sings I’m No Angel, a swaggering macho declaration that is the LP’s first single. ![]()
