Book Recommendation: When Blood Lies by C. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Duane Allman’s death was clearly important to his brother, as it was to a band that had just begun to attract a major following, in large part because of Duane’s guitar prowess. The weird thing is that Allman seems to agree.Ĭredited to Allman and rock writer Alan Light, “ My Cross to Bear” has a melodramatic title but a phlegmatic outlook. Cynics might say this is routine rock-bio stuff. ![]() As fans know well, older brother Duane died in a motorcycle wreck in 1971, and bassist Berry Oakley perished the same way at almost the same spot a year later. His story includes overdoses, emergency surgeries and rehab stints six wives and five children (not necessarily from his marriages) and myriad suicides, murders and fatal crashes. The Southern blues-rocker, who’s played off and on with the Allman Brothers Band since 1969, has experienced many born-under-a-bad-sign moments. But if he had, the transaction would probably rate just a paragraph toward the back of his new memoir, “ My Cross to Bear,” sandwiched between an ode to motorcycles and a two-sentence account of his fourth marriage. Gregg Allman didn’t sell his soul to the devil. ![]() |
