And even if you don't like to smoke weed, it's nice to put on while cooking or something. The only other band that I like who pulls off this style of music better for me is My Morning Jacket, and that's simply because I like the vocals more. I can do without the soulful redneck blues vocals (i.e. tied to the whipping post).
Gregg Allmans vocals are definitely the weak link, which probably explains why they were apt to jam instrumentally for a half hour at a time.
