A New York Times Best seller!One Way Out is the powerful biography of The Allman Brothers Band, an oral history written with the bands 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 twenty-five years, Alan Paul has covered and written about 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 bands 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. Review “This pot-stirring oral history reads like a backstory of how musical lightning comes to be. All of the surviving band members get to have their say.” Rolling Stone“Alan has a way with narrative that just draws you in without using the single-level storyline used by other writers who have attempted telling the Allman Brothers Band’s story. He gets right to the hows and whys that give his narrative real substance. Enjoy and become enlightened.” Butch Trucks, the Allman Brothers Band (From the Foreword)“No journalist knows the ins and outs of the Allman Brothers Band better than Alan Paul.” Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers Band“I learned so much reading One Way Out. If you want to know the real deal, read Alan Paul.” Oteil Burbridge, the Allman Brothers Band“Allman Brothers, unvarnished . . . [Alan Paul]s vast trove of interviews allows the band to tell its own story.” Atlanta Journal Constitution“Alan Paul is one of Americas foremost experts on the Allman Brothers Band. For the past twenty years, he has written informative, comprehensive articles on the band, and he truly understands the essence of their significance. Its great to see him release this chronicle.” E.J. Devokaitis, Curator / Archivist, Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House“Alan Pauls One Way Out is a brilliantly detailed all-access pass to the Allman Brothers Band. Using his numerous personal interviews with the band members themselves--both past and present--as well as an almost endless entourage of friends, family members, roadies, managers, promoters, booking agents, record label executives, and fellow musicians, Alan Paul has successfully created the definitive ABB biography.” Randy Poe, author of Skydog: The Duane Allman Story“One Way Out is perhaps the most in-depth look at one of Americas most beloved, but thoroughly dysfunctional ensembles. Engrossing reading . . . Alan Paul has written about the Allmans for the last 25 years, and his depth of knowledge shows. The stories are salty, unfiltered, and straight from the horses mouth. The word definitive gets tossed around so often it has lost some of its meaning, but this 400-page journey into the heart of rock and roll darkness deserves the accolade.” Guitar World Magazine“No matter what you think you know about the Allman Brothers Band, One Way Out is bound to be revelatory on many levels . . . This is essential reading that strips away the myth to expose all the moving parts in vivid detail.” Seattle PI“Music writer Paul catches up with the legendary band in this
