Hittin’ the Note magazine worked with Randy Poe for several years on his biography of Duane Allman, and we certainly are proud of the result. Skydog: The Duane Allman Story has truly captured the essence of one of the most influential and charismatic musicians ever to hit the note. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top writes the Foreword, and everyone from Chuck Leavell to Bobby Whitlock is praising Randy’s work. In-depth insight, with beautiful and rare photos and immaculate scholarship - Mr. Poe really did it right. If you are a Duane fan, you need to have this book!
Skydog reveals the true story of 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 session player; 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, chronicling the tumultuous era that shaped Allman and his music, and that he in turn transformed. This riveting book includes a comprehensive discography of Duane Allman's 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 Allman's friends and bandmates.
