Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Skydog details Duane Allman's childhood, adolescence, and adulthood (brief though it was), exploring his musical influences, his early bands, and his relationship with Gregg Allman (his equally famous brother). The book breaks down such memorable moments as his sideman sessions in Muscle Shoals and New York and his monumental work on Eric Clapton’s Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. There's also info on Allman's contributions to slide guitar technique and style, his creation of the genre now known as Southern Rock, and his continued influence on music over 30 years after his tragic death. Interviews with Gregg Allman, Chuck Leavell, Jimmy Johnson, and more bring first-hand insight on the life of a famous musician. The book concludes with a selected discography of Duane Allman’s recordings, along with a list of the recordings that influenced his musical development. Synopsis:Skydog reveals the true story of legendary guitarist Duane Allman: his childhood and musical awakening; his struggling first bands; his hard-won mastery of the slide guitar; his emergence as an A-list studio musician; his creation of the Allman Brothers Band; his tragic death at age 24, and his thriving musical legacy. Author Randy Poe taps the people who knew Duane best — along the way chronicling the tumultuous era that shaped Allman and his music, and that he in turn transformed. Featuring a foreword by ZZ Tops Billy F Gibbons, Skydog includes a comprehensive discography of Duane Allmans work with his own bands and on other artists recordings, a meticulously researched roundup of his studio and stage instruments, and a look at the continuing lives and careers of Allmans friends and band mates.
