One Way Out

The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band

De: Alan Paul

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

One Way Out is the powerful biography of the Allman Brothers Band, an oral history written with the band's participation and filled with original, never-before-published interviews as well as personal letters and correspondence. This is the most in-depth look at a legendary American rock band that has meant so much to so many for so long.

For 25 years, Alan Paul has covered the Allman Brothers Band, conducting hundreds of interviews, riding the buses with them, attending rehearsals and countless shows. He has interviewed every living band member for this book as well as managers, roadies, and contemporaries, including Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Jaimoe, Butch Trucks, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, the late Allen Woody, Jimmy Herring, Eric Clapton, Bob Weir, and many others.

Tracking the band's career from their 1969 formation to today, One Way Out is filled with musical and cultural insights, riveting tales of sometimes violent personality conflicts and betrayals, drug and alcohol use, murder allegations and exoneration, tragic early deaths, road stories, and much more, including the most in-depth look at the acrimonious 2000 parting with founding guitarist Dickey Betts and behind-the-scenes information on the recording of At Fillmore East, "Layla", Eat a Peach, Brothers and Sisters, and other classic albums.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The author doesn't pull punches, but all involved should find it fair as well as comprehensive." ---Kirkus Starred Review

Very In Depth

Great book - helped me learn a lot about the band that I never really knew from just listening to the greatest hits. Listen to as much music as possible while reading/listening to this - definitely opened my ears to their back catalogue and rare tracks but also all the other bands associated with the ABB.

Legendary, fascinating, interesting, and tragic!!!

There's not a better band and story than The Allman Brothers Band's. Duane Skydog Allman, best guitar player of all time and dead at 24. What he created and left behind could never be matched by any one player. He unknowingly created his own genre of music, what we all now know as Southern Rock. His story and the bands needs to be told in music and history classes around the world. Great book 👍 and starting point for anyone looking for the most fascinating story in band history from the point of view of the ones that lived, breathed, and bled it.

A worth while read for an ABB fan!

I thought I knew a lot about the Allman brothers having Japan since 1973. I found out a lot, and came away, admiring and understanding you guys I’ve been listening to all these years. Well done!

Great book!

I enjoyed this from beginning to end, starting it again for a second time now!
