Enlightened Rogues is a studio album by The Allman Brothers Band released in 1979 on the Polydor and Capricorn labels. It was from the first reunion of the band (with new guitarist Dan Toler and bassist David Goldflies) following their 1976 dissolution. The album received strong reviews and moderate sales and was seen as an attempt to return to the dual guitar power of the original lineup. Tom Dowd, who had produced the bands two most successful records in the early 1970s, was brought back to handle production duties. It would also be the last record for Polygram and Capicorn. Capricorn filed for bankruptcy a year later. The band shifted to Arista records for their next release in 1980.
