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.

Read the other reviews and the reviews for the print edition of the book.BUT...the Kindle edition has a major flaw; precipitating the need for my purchase of print edition.Let me explain. Embedded in the text are numerous QR codes (or what the author calls "response codes"). Scanning these codes with a free app on a smart phone is SUPPOSED TO take you to the appropriate place on the authors website. Once there you can hear audio; read a script; or engage in a similar activity. Notice how the words "SUPPOSED TO" are capitalized? I did that because on the Kindle edition; ALL of the QR codes are the same. They all take you to the same spot on the authors website.It these codes actually worked; I suspect it would have been an outstanding addition to the book. But I was able to find a few things myself on the website; but most of them I did not. So I am buying the paper text in order to actually find the appropriate website locations. This is a needed (for me at least); but unnecessary expense. More importantly; it reduces the portability of the book when I travel.The Kindle is amazing in that it is lightweight and packs well. Books are much less so. Despite the problems with this particular book; I am an unabashed Kindle fan. But this particular book; if you want to read and completely utilize the the QR codes; evidently you need to purchase the print edition. But you should do that if you want to get an excellent book concerning the art of voice acting. The text is five-stars good. The Kindle edition lacks.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
