Non-Fiction Memoir
A deeply personal, revealing, and lyrical portrait of Duane
Allman, founder of the legendary Allman Brothers Band,
written by his daughter
Galadrielle Allman went to her first concert as an infant in
diapers, held in her teenage mother’s arms. Playing was her
father—Duane Allman, who would become one of the most
influential and sought-after musicians of his time. Just a
few short years into his remarkable career, he was killed in
a motorcycle accident at the age of twenty-four. His
daughter was two years old.
Galadrielle was raised in the shadow of his loss and his
fame. Her mother sought solace in a bohemian life. Friends
and family found it too painful to talk about Duane.
Galadrielle listened intently to his music, read articles
about him, steeped herself in the mythic stories, and yet
the spotlight rendered him too simple and too perfect to
know. She felt a strange kinship to the fans who longed for
him, but she needed to know more. It took her many years to
accept that his life and his legacy were hers, and when she
did, she began to ask for stories—from family, fellow
musicians, friends—and they began to flow.
Galadrielle Allman’s memoir is at once a rapturous,
riveting, and intimate account of one of the greatest guitar
prodigies of all time, the story of the birth of a band that
redefined the American musical landscape, and a tender
inquiry of a daughter searching for her father in the
memories of others.
