Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Alan Paul, has released his latest book, Brothers and Sisters: The Allman Brothers Band and the Album That Defined the 70s. Exploring the powerful impact that the Allman Brothers had on the politics and culture of the 1970s, including playing a pivotal role in the election of Jimmy Carter, the book has been featured everywhere from "All Things Considered" and Wall Street Journal to the Washington Post and LA Times.

Regarded as one of “rock’s finest narrative historian" Alan is a unique example of an individual who is both performing the music of the Allman Brothers and the foremost historian of the band. He released a book that explores the surprising ways the band's influence continues to be felt today, from playing a pivotal role in Carter's election to paving the way for today's celebrity media culture -- while simultaneously traveling the country with his Friends of the Brothers, opening the Allman Brothers' official Peach Tree Music Festival this summer and headlining the Watkins Glen 50th anniversary concert.
