HourGlass - 1967-68 - Albums (Pre Allman Brothers Band)

Hourglass - 1967 - Hourglass

The HourGlass was the name of a band featuring Duane Allman (guitars, sitar, vocal), Gregg Allman (vocal, organ, piano, guitar), Mabron McKinney (bass, 1967), Johnny Sandlin (drums, guitar, gong), Paul Hornsby (piano, organ, guitar, vocal) and Pete Carr (bass, guitar, vocal 1967-68). The Hour Glass selftitled first album showcased a group far removed from its true being, with producer Dallas Smith adding layers of vocals and instrumentation to the group's basic track. Gregg Allman is far and away the star, though his songwriting capabilities are not on display as ten of the album's tracks are covers. It was a failure on the charts.

01 - Out Of The Night
02 - Nothing But Tears
03 - Love Makes The World Go `round
04 - Cast Off All My Fears
05 - I?ve Been Trying
06 - No Easy Way Down
07 - Heartbeat
08 - So Much Love
09 - Got To Get Away
10 - Silently
11 - Bells

Hourglass - 1968 - Power Of Love

Power of Love (March 1968) showcased a group closer to its true being, with the group tackling both originals by Gregg Allman and songs written by songwriters from the Southern United States. A cover of The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"- the only track not written by southerners- featured Duane Allman on electric sitar. The Hour Glass performed all of the instrumentation. Again produced by Dallas Smith, it too was a failure on the charts.

01 - Power Of Love
02 - Changing Of The Guard
03 - To Things Before
04 - I'm Not Afraid
05 - I Can Stand Alone
06 - Down In Texas
