Book Reviews of Midnight Riders: The Story of the Allman Brothers Band

Book Review: A must for Allman Brothers Band junkies-book junkies that is
Summary: 5 Stars

They're saints, sinners and geniuses, and, Mr. Scott Freeman has captured all these elements in describing the Allman Brothers Band. Everything/anything you wanted to know about the band when Duane and Berry were alive you'll find out. Where the book falls short is in the Band's continuing trials(sorry Gregg, no pun intended) and tribulations after their reincarnations. Remember, their have been several lineups of the band since 1980. It's as if some "side" members just get a passing mention. However, Mr. Freeman pays the reader a gigantic compliment by capturing the pure essence of all of the elements that created The Allman Brothers Band. What's best of all in Mr. Freeman's narrative is the way their music is described without getting bogged down in borish song anologies like many other music biographies do. Maybe one may not read this book from cover-to-cover in one four hour sitting like I did. But, with that distinct possibility in mind for fans of the band, when you do get to the end of the book you may find yourself saying"no, don't stop, tell me more!"
