Allman Brothers Band

(b. 20 November 1946, Nashville, Tennessee, USA, d. 29 October 1971)

One of rock’s most inventive and respected guitarists.  On 29 October, in an effort to avoid a collision with a truck, Allman crashed his motorcycle and died following three hours of intensive surgery. This tragic accident robbed music of one of its exceptional talents whose all-too-brief legacy reveals an individual of rare skill and humility. Duane Allman Books
