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.
