New Allman Brothers book debuts on New York Times Best Sellers List
*One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band*, a new book about the legendary southern band, has debuted on the New York Times Best Sellers List.
The biography debuts at No. 10 on the Hardcover Non-Fiction list this week.
Written by Alan Paul, a senior writer for Guitar World magazine, the book is being issued to coincide with the band’s 45th anniversary this year.
“One Way Out” is an oral history of the Allman Brothers Band culled from hundreds of hours of interviews, including many never-before-published sessions with band members Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Jaimoe, Butch Trucks, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, the late Allen Woody, Jack Pearson and Jimmy Herring, plus Eric Clapton, Tom Dowd, Phil Walden, Rick Hall, Billy Gibbons, Dr. John, Scott Boyer and others.
The biography also includes a highly opinionated discography with short reviews of over 50 albums from the ABB, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Gov’t Mule, Derek Trucks Band and more.
“One Way Out” is billed as the most complete exploration of the Allman Brothers music yet written, tracking the band’s career arc from their 1969 formation through their historic 40th anniversary star-studded Beacon run, right on up to today.
“One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band” can be ordered via the Amazon links below.
Gregg Allman recently confirmed that the Allman Brothers Band will stop touring after marking their 45th anniversary this year; his comments came on the heels of a joint announcement by guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks that they’ll be leaving the group at the end of the year.
The group will launch their final residency at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on March 7; they’ll play 14 dates at the venue before hosting their 10th annual Wanee Music Festival in Florida in April.

"Si usted quiere saber el verdadero negocio, lea Alan Paul", dice Allman Brothers bajista Oteil Burbridge acerca de One Way Out: The Inside Historia de The Allman Brothers Band (St. Martin Press). El libro es considerado como la primera biografía importante de la ABB, que celebra su 45 aniversario este año.
Todos los miembros sobrevivientes de la banda, entre ellos ex miembros, son entrevistados en esta historia oral, y los fundadores Butch Trucks y Jaimoe escriben el prólogo y epílogo. Paul, que ha informado ampliamente sobre la banda durante 25 años, también presenta entrevistas con el bajista Allen Woody.
Paul ha alcanzado a describir todos los aspectos de la carrera de los Allman con el libro, entrevistando a casi 60 personas, incluyendo roadies, gerentes, y otros músicos como Eric Clapton y Bob Weir. Y sí, sí cubre la escisión de la banda en el año 2000 con el guitarrista Dickey Betts.
También promete mucha información detrás de las escenas de la grabación de discos clásicos como At Fillmore East, Eat a Peach y hermanos y hermanas.
Además de entrevistas, Paul ha conseguido material para el libro de cartas personales y correspondencia. También cuenta con muchas fotos nunca antes vistas, así como las fotografías tomadas por los dos directores de la carretera de ABB.
"Ningún periodista sabe mejor que Alan Paul los pormenores de la Allman Brothers Band", dijo el guitarrista Warren Haynes ABB.
Incluso si no eres un gran fan de ABB, el libro es intrigante, según una revisión de la lista de libros . "Aumentado por las fotos y las barras laterales fascinantes, esta historia le interesará a muchas más personas que los leales fans de Allman Brothers Band."

Johnny Cash Gets Remixed by Elvis Costello
It’s no secret that Elvis Costello is a fan of Johnny Cash. He’s covered Cash songs numerous times throughout his career, including a live version of Cash’s early hit “Cry Cry Cry” that wound up on the reissued version of Costello’s country tribute album Almost Blue.
Now Costello has taken his appreciation of Cash a step further, by releasing a remix of a previously ‘lost’ Cash song, “She Used to Love Me a Lot.” That version of the song is currently streaming on Pitchfork.
The remix is set for commercial release on Record Store Day (April 19), as part of a limited 7-inch single that will also feature Cash’s original version of the song. That original version was cut in the 1980s but set aside for decades, and is now resurfacing on the upcoming ‘new’ Johnny Cash album, Out Among the Stars, that’s finally seeing the light of day later this month (March 25).

Out Among the Stars is not a reissue or a collection of demos. It’s a full studio album Cash recorded in the 1980s and then, after his record company (Columbia) chose not to release it, stashed away in the family archives for three decades.
Cash’s son John Carter Cash is overseeing the album’s release. “I really love this song,” Carter Cash told Rolling Stone about “She Used to Love Me a Lot,” which was unveiled this past January. “The depth that’s there reminds me of the real serious stuff that Dad did later in his life. And I truly think it’s one of the beautiful undiscovered gems in my dad’s catalog.”
The ensemble that accompanies Cash on Out Among the Stars includes a young Marty Stuart on guitar and mandolin as well as Nashville A-Team members Jerry Kennedy (guitar), Pete Drake (steel guitar), Country Music Hall of Fame member Hargus “Pig” Robbins (piano) and Henry Strzelecki (bass). The album also features a duet with the late Waylon Jennings and two with June Carter Cash.
Elvis Costello hace remix de canción de Johnny Cash
Justo entre el cumpleaños post mortem de Johnny Cash y el lanzamiento de un álbum perdido de los ochenta, firmado por él con el título Out Among the Stars, Elvis Costello ha hecho un remix del tema She used to love me a lot.
Primero se conoció la versión original de dicha canción, junto a I’m moving on, recuperadas por el hijo de El Hombre de Negro. Costello, quien ha pasado del new wave al punk rock, del folk al blues e incluso a la música clásica contemporánea, ya ha hecho sus pininos en la música electrónica con este remix.
Esta nueva versión de She used to love me a lot saldrá al mercado en un vinilo de 7”, como un lado B de la versión original. Estará en las calles el 11 de marzo.
