New York Times bestselling author Alan Paul's in-depth narrative
look at the Allman Brothers' most successful album, and a portrait
of an era in rock and roll and American history. The Allman
Brothers Band's Brothers and Sisters was not only the band's
bestselling album, at over seven million copies sold, but it was
also a powerfully influential release, both musically and
culturally, one whose influence continues to be profoundly felt.
Celebrating the album's fiftieth anniversary, Brothers and Sisters
the book delves into the making of the album, while also presenting
a broader cultural history of the era, based on first-person
interviews, historical documents, and in-depth research. Brothers
and Sisters traces the making of the template-shaping record
alongside the stories of how the Allman Brothers came to the rescue
of a flailing Jimmy Carter presidential campaign and helped get the
former governor of Georgia elected president; how Gregg Allman's
marriage to Cher was an early harbinger of an emerging celebrity
media culture; and how the band's success led to internal fissures.
The book also examines the Allman Brothers' relationship with the
Grateful Dead--including the most in-depth reporting ever on the
Summer Jam at Watkins Glen, the largest rock festival ever--and
describes how they inspired bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, helping
create the southern rock genre. With exclusive access to hundreds
of hours of never-before-heard interviews with every major player,
including Dickey Betts and Gregg Allman, conducted by Allman
Brothers Band archivist, photographer, and "Tour Mystic" Kirk West,
Brothers and Sisters is an honest assessment of the band's career,
history, and highs and lows.
