A Conversation with Alan Paul

SAVE THE DATE: July 23 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific

Hey y’all, I’m super stoked to bring you the debut episode of Long Live the ABB: A Conversation from the Crossroads of Southern Music, History, and Culture at the Long Live the ABB Youtube Channel.

My first guest for this LIVE event SUNDAY JULY 23 (8p Eastern/5p Pacific) is none other than the man I call then dean of ABB historians, my friend

Alan Paul

, whose new book Brothers & Sisters: The Allman Brothers Band and the Inside Story of the Album that Defined the ‘70s is sure to be his third consecutive bestseller.

Alan and I go way back (that’s us at the ABB’s Wanee Festivalin 2014) and, serendipitously, Brothers and Sisters picks up right where Play All Night leaves off. We’re gonna discuss this and a whole lot more.

I’m really looking forward to this conversation.

Be there, it’ll be BIG fun: https://www.youtube.com/live/8V4Oxgprit0?feature=share

Thanks for reading. Seriously.

LONG LIVE THE ABB.

Bob

ps: Paid subscribers, be thinking of any questions you might have for Alan. I’ll send out a query to y’all later this week.

pps: Here’s a lagniappe on a humid summer day in middle Tennessee, the Mother Hips on “Precious Opal” from their debut album Back to the Grotto.¹

1. I bought this cd in 1994 from a dude with a rucksack selling them among the crowd during the Hips set on the HORDE second stage in Denver. It’s also the first time I saw the Mule.
