SKYDOG THE DUANE ALLMAN STORY by Randy Poe

Finished Fr 8/2/12

My entry at Good Reads:

I just read Gregg Allman's biography, MY CROSS TO BEAR, and Randy Poe's book lacks the personal insights of a founding member, but is much more 'fact based'. Randy Poe provides a wealth of information about the early bands and musicians that later became The Allman Brothers Band. The author is a music industry insider who has tracked down the important people who knew and influenced Duane Allman, and helped to create and develop this most important American band. And, the book contains a comprehensive discography of Duane Allman's work with his own bands and his musical contributions to other artists' recordings. And, Poe also includes a complete rundown of Duane's guitars, both studio and stage, and provides a continuing update on the lives and careers of friends and band-mates of The Allman Brothers Band organization.
