The Allman Brothers Band’s fifth studio album, 1975’s Win, Lose or Draw directly followed in the wake of the critical acclaim of its excellent predecessor Brothers and Sisters (1973) and growing tensions between Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts who both released solo albums with The Gregg Allman Tour and Highway Call respectively the year prior. The recording sessions were fractured and it’s certainly palpable all over the 7-track effort, yet a strong cover of Muddy Waters’ “Can’t Lose What You Never Had,” Allman’s title cut and Betts’ instrumental “High Falls” prove that the band may be doing things differently but they weren’t throwing in the towel quite yet.

An unexpectedly poor showing from the group, considering the two-year lag between albums and what had come before. Despite a good cover of Muddy Waters’ “Can’t Lose What You Never Had” — highlighted by a great Dickey Betts solo — as an opener, there’s not much here that’s first-rate. The band sounds lethargic, although they still play decently. The title track and Dickey Betts’ instrumental “High Falls” are among the few highlights, decent but unexceptional performances sparked by Betts’ playing (which is engaging even on the loser tracks like “Louisiana Lou”). The album’s main fault lies not with what it is, but what it could have been, and who it’s from — as a debut album from a new band, it would be excusable and acceptable. –AllMusic Review by Bruce Eder
