What began with two brothers in Florida morphed into the major music genre called Southern rock. And a legend was born. In "The Allman Brothers Band", readers will discover how Duane and Gregg Allman - the Florida brothers - and the others who made up the Allman Brothers Band led the way for other rock groups such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band to find success. Of course the Allman Brothers Band found tremendous success along the way as well. But it hasn't been all fun and fine things for the band. The group's painful losses of Duane and Berry, a celebrity marriage, and drug addiction also factored into the band's failures, but also played a part in its successes. Readers will also learn about those as they explore the world of "The Allman Brothers Band."
