An Anthology Vol. II
(1974)

An Anthology Vol. II is an album by Duane Allman. It is a compilation of songs on which Allman plays guitar. On some tracks he plays as a session musician on recordings by other artists, including Aretha Franklin, Otis Rush, Ronnie Hawkins, Wilson Pickett, and Boz Scaggs. Other tracks feature Allman as a member of various bands, most famously the Allman Brothers Band. He sings lead vocals on three songs – "Happily Married Man", "No Money Down", and "Dimples". Six of the 21 tracks were previously unreleased.^[1]^[2]

An Anthology Vol. II was released in 1974 as a two-disc LP. It was a follow-up to the similarly conceived An Anthology. It reached number 49 on the Billboard albums chart.^[3]

Critical reception

AllMusic said, "The session work with other players here isn't quite as good as the material on the first anthology, but An Anthology, Vol. 2 does feature a live cut by Delaney & Bonnie, plus a pair of what were then previously unissued Allman Brothers Band live tracks... Anyone who owns the first double-CD set will almost certainly have to own this one as well..."^[1]

The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote, "Both volumes of Anthology collect sterling examples of Allman's session work, and are highly recommended to guitar students and Southern soul buffs alike."^[4]

Spin magazine said, "[An Anthology and An Anthology Vol. II are an] indispensable summary of Allman's career as a hotshot sideman.... Choice R&B material like Wilson Pickett's version of "Born to Be Wild" and Johnny Jenkins' "Walk on Gilded Splinters"... makes it clear where Southern rock got its soul."^[5]
