While not on par with such classics as 1969's THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND or 1970's IDLEWILD SOUTH, the Allman Brothers' 1975 release, WIN, LOSE OR DRAW, convincingly demonstrated that the band was still together, despite a two-year layoff between albums.
Unquestionably the record's highlight is the album-opening cover of Muddy Water's "Can't Lose What You Never Had," but other cuts such as the instrumental "High Falls," the title track and "Nevertheless" also prove to be standouts. Longtime fans could sense trouble brewing behind the scenes, and their instincts proved right–the Allmans would take a three-year sabbatical after one more album, the live WIPE THE WINDOWS.
The follow-up album to their multi-platinum breakthru album "Brothers & Sisters" fell short on sales but includes some tasty treats nonetheless, like the title track, the Muddy Waters cover of "Can't Lose What You Never Had" and the instrumental "High Falls".
