I am proud to announce the release of the Ebook One Way Out: An Oral History of the Allman Brothers. http://amzn.to/L1tFSF It is their story in their words, culled from hundreds of hours of interviews, all conducted by award-winning journalist Alan Paul, starting with pieces for Request and Tower Pulse in ’89 and ’90 and running right through last month’s Guitar World. “If you want to know the real deal, read Alan Paul.” -Oteil Burbridge The book includes many never-before-published interviews with band members Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Jaimoe, Butch Trucks, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, the late Allen Woody, Jack Pearson, Chuck Leavell and Jimmy Herring, plus Eric Clapton, Tom Dowd, Phil Walden, Billy Gibbons, Dr. John, Scott Boyer, Buddy Guy and others. One Way Out is the most complete exploration of the Allman Brothers music yet written and makes for a great companion read to Gregg’s best-selling memoir My Cross to Bear. It tracks the band’s career arc from their 1969 formation through their historic 40th anniversary star-studded Beacon run, and is filled the musical and cultural insights that only these insiders can provide. The book includes the most in-depth look at the acrimonious 2000 parting with founding guitarist Dickey Betts; an intense discussion of Dickey Betts and Duane Allman’s revolutionary guitar styles; thorough behind-the-scenes information on the recording of At Fillmore East, Layla, Eat A Peach and other classic albums. You will not find this information anywhere else. “Alan Paul is one of America’s foremost experts on the Allman Brothers Band. For the past 20 years, he has written informative, comprehensive articles on the band, and he truly understands the essence of their significance. It’s great to see him release this chronicle.” -E.J. Devokaitis Curator / Archivist Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House
