SHADES OF TWO WORLDS is the tenth studio album by The Allman Brothers Band. Released in July 2, 1991. Among the tracks are several longer songs of varying genres: the rock song "Nobody Knows", jazzy instrumental "Kind Of Bird", and the blues-rocker "Get On With Your Life". Dickey Betts wrote or co-wrote five of the eight songs. Newer member Warren Haynes also has co-writing credits on five songs, while namesake Gregg Allman is only credited on two songs. There is also a Delta Blues cover of Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen". The instrumental track "Kind Of Bird" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards in 1992. The group's follow-up to their comeback album is a major step forward, with more mature songs, more improvisation than the group had featured in their work since the early '70s, and more confidence than they'd shown since Brothers And Sisters. It's all here, from acoustic bottleneck playing to jazz improvisation, with the most reflective songwriting in their history.

After the surprisingly strong Seven Turns, The Allman Brothers Band even more surprisingly upped the ante further on SHADES OF TWO WORLDS, their best studio showing. The band is again back to their original setup, and Dickey and Warren really do the dual guitar thing again throughout the album. They also write the bulk of the songs, with their names appearing in five credits apiece, with Gregg having two. The band also ends the album with a superb reading of Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen." The album begins with "End Of The Line," an excellent rocker with autobiographical lyrics from Gregg about his addictions, plus Dickey and Warren wail on guitar. "Bad Rain" and "Desert Bird" are both generic blues boogies propped up by some good guitar, and "Midnight Man" is also generic and is easily skippable, but elsewhere there are nothing but vintage Allman Brothers Band songs. Gregg's "Get On With Your Life" sees the band doing a slow blues ballad, and quite well at that. For one thing, Gregg's voice is gruffer than ever, and it fits the world weary lyrics, which are really impressive throughout the album, which is merely a bonus with this band since their playing has always been where it's at. "Kind Of Bird," is an extended jazzy instrumental, which is by now a band trademark. Containing harmonized guitars and a strong melody, this one really grooves along, with some great soloing by Dickey and Warren, who co-wrote it. Betts' 11-minute "Nobody Knows" is even better. This explosive epic is their best extended studio jam since "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed," and that it's one of their flat-out best songs ever, period. Wow, who would've thought that the band, now 20+ years into their on again, off again career, would come up with such a masterful song at this late stage, or that they'd deliver one of their hardest rocking and best overall albums? But the band had proven people wrong and come back strong before, this was just the latest and greatest example of their resiliency. Alas, this album didn't sell well, perhaps due to the rise of grunge, and it remains sorely undervalued despite its considerable high quality.
