Idlewild South Wiki Information
Idlewild South
is the second album of The Allman Brothers Band, released in 1970.
Unlike the band's debut album, Idlewild South
enjoyed some popular success as well as critical enthusiasm, mostly due to what Rolling Stone
magazine called "briefer, tighter, less 'heavy' numbers" which were more radio-friendly. The two most prominent of these were "Midnight Rider" and "Revival", the latter of which, in conjunction with the instrumental "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" (which would become one of the Allmans' most famed concert numbers), foreshadowed the impact of Dickey Betts' songwriting ability upon the band.
The album was named after a ranch they frequently visited in Georgia, whose name in turn was originally a reference to New York City's Idlewild Airport.
"Midnight Rider" has been featured in soundtracks for The Devil's Rejects
and Unbreakable
. Gregg Allman also rerecorded the song for his solo album Laid Back
. In addition, it was sampled for rap rocker Kid Rock's song "Cowboy," a single from the album Devil Without a Cause in 1998.
