About this product
Product Information
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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the making of the album, while also presenting a broader cultural history of the era, based on first-person interviews, historical documents, and in-depth research.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.

Reviews
"Alan Paul is rock's finest narrative historian." --Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar "No journalist knows the ins and outs of the Allman Brothers Band better than Alan Paul." --Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers Band "If you want to know the real deal, read Alan Paul." --Oteil Burbridge, the Allman Brothers Band, "For a fledgling 20-year old piano player in 1972, being asked to join the Allman Brothers Band was like entering Heaven. There were ups and downs during the making of Brothers and Sisters, but it still stands as the band's most popular and best-selling record. Alan has captured the era with deep research and his savvy writing skills." --Chuck Leavell, Allman Brothers Band, Rolling Stones "If you want to know the real deal, read Alan Paul." --Oteil Burbridge, Allman Brothers Band "No journalist knows the ins and outs of the Allman Brothers Band better than Alan Paul." --Warren Haynes, Allman Brothers Band "Alan Paul is our Jimmy Olsen. He's one of the only cats who even knows what questions to ask." --Jaimoe, Allman Brothers Band "I sure am glad Alan took that suitcase full of interview tapes home with him. 40 years later I learned so much it surprised me." --Kirk West, Allman Brothers Band Tour Mystic "No one knows more about the Allman Brothers than Alan Paul. In this fast paced yet moving account of the band's post-Duane rise to stardom, Paul paints a compelling portrait of not just the world of rock back then but the world as well. A must read for all those who love their music, Brothers and Sisters is also a deep dive into the true price of rock stardom." --Robert Greenfield, author, Bill Graham Presents "Gloriously researched and passionately written, Alan Paul's Brothers and Sisters summons all the grand spirits of a time when America was at a hopeful crossroads, and the Allman Brothers were our treasured house band. This band needed no video assist, no pageantry, just a stage, some instruments, and an audience ready to scratch the heavens with them. By the first page, you'll feel the band, hear the guitars, the elemental voice, and the magic of our most unforgettable band. There is no greater tour guide on this journey than Alan Paul's Brothers and Sisters ." --Cameron Crowe, journalist and filmmaker "Unique among the rock bands of the '60s and '70s in their profound commitment to improvisation, the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead had a deep musical kinship. That and much more is beautifully explored in Alan Paul's Brothers and Sisters . It is a unique and brilliant contribution to understanding the era when rock and roll really mattered." --Dennis McNally, author of A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead " Alan Paul has delved further, dug deeper and discovered more about this pivotal era of the Allman Brothers Band than anyone ever has. Tightly written, informative and provocative, Alan has brought clarity to the sometimes distorted history of the ABB. Like the album that it takes its title from, Brothers and Sisters is a masterpiece." --John Lynskey, historian/curator, The Big House Museum "Alan Paul is rock's finest narrative historian." --Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar, "Alan Paul is rock's finest narrative historian." --Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar "No journalist knows the ins and outs of the Allman Brothers Band better than Alan Paul." --Warren Haynes, Allman Brothers Band "If you want to know the real deal, read Alan Paul." --Oteil Burbridge, Allman Brothers Band "For a fledgling 20-year old piano player in 1972, being asked to join The Allman Brothers Band was like entering Heaven.

It's a trip back to a lost world of sublime possibility, when a legendary producer and a collection of talented musicians could help elect an American president." --Jonathan Alter, author of His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life "Alan Paul is rock's finest narrative historian." --Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar, "For a fledgling 20-year old piano player in 1972, being asked to join the Allman Brothers Band was like entering Heaven.

It''s an eye-opening saga, rich with detail and populated by a colorful cast that includes musical giants, movie stars, a future President of the Untied States, and assorted rogues and scoundrels. I was particularly thrilled to finally read a masterful account of the close bonds between the Allmans and the Grateful Dead, including Paul''s truly definitive look at the gargantuan Watkins Glen Summer Jam.
