 The Duane Remains The Same ( tgarland@meditech.com )
This book is a must read for Allman fans, guitar players or music fans in general!
Never has been written such a thorough analysis of The Man and his legacy.

 Worth The Read
Beautifully written biography by Randy Poe on a true rock legend. I highly recommend this book to any fans looking for an entertaining read with a lot of very good information on the career of Duane Allman. The reason I gave it four stars, and this of course is my own opinion, is because there wasn't very many personal details on his life and I would've liked it if Poe had given a little more insight as to the kind of person Duane was outside of rock n'roll. Nevertheless, it is a great story on the very successful journey Diane Allman had leading up to his days with the Allman Brothers Band and eventually to his far too premature death. Just don't expect the story to get personal at all because it really only focuses on his career. Overall, four stars seems to suit my judgment on the story and I definitely do recommend it.

Awesome book
What an awesome read! Gives a great biography on Duane. A great chapter on Derek and The Dominoes. A must read for the Allman Brothers fan.

 Nothing New
I'd already read Freeman's "Midnight Riders" and there is nothing new here.
Add a star if your a Guitar Gearhead - the history of Duane's axes is well done.

Greatest guitar player,good book!
I enjoyed the history of Duane and the Brothers and how he impacted the music and musicians he came in contact with.It was well written and showed both the genius of Duane and also some of his human flaws which all of us can relate to,all this at a very young age!The only real problem I have with the book(and it is more a question why or why not)is the lack of peers such as Clapton,Winter,Vaughn,King etc, paying homage or at least being asked by the author to give Duane a pat on the back to Skydog, in my opinion the Greatest!!!
