Moving, fun, and intimate, My Cross to Bear, the enhanced e-book, is essential for everyone who loves the Allman Brothers.

The story begins simply: with Gregg and his older brother, Duane, growing up in the South, raising hell with their guitars, fueling each other's passion for music, and drifting from one band to another in search of a musical future that always seemed just out of reach. But all that changed one historic day when Duane and Gregg came together with four other men to forge something new—a unique sound shaped by soul, rock, and blues and brimming with experimentation; a sound not just of a band, but of a family.

Bringing to life the carefree early days of the Allman Brothers Band, Gregg holds nothing back—from run-ins with the law to laid-back parties, from meeting girls on the road to jamming at the Fillmore East, from experimenting with drugs to forming a brotherhood. Along the way, he goes behind the scenes of some of the greatest rock music of all time, without shying from the infamous and painful deaths of both his brother, Duane, and Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley. Speaking candidly and for the first time about the profound impact that his brother's death had on him, Gregg offers a tribute to Duane that only a younger brother could write, showing how, to this day, he still confronts the grief of losing his big brother, even as Duane continues to guide and inspire him.

Setting the record straight about the band's struggles in the face of death as well as his own personal demons, Gregg shows how the decision to persevere came with a heavy price, one that would haunt the Brothers for decades. While the rock and roll excesses of drugs, alcohol, personality clashes, and money squandering led to a series of breakups and reunions that culminated with the band's permanent reunion in 1989, Gregg fought his own battle with substance abuse, going to rehab no less than twelve times and floating through a string of failed marriages, including his tabloid-frenzied relationship with Cher, before finally cleaning up once and for all.

Capturing the Allman Brothers' ongoing, triumphant resurgence as well as his own recent fight against hepatitis C and the liver transplant that saved his life, Gregg presents a story as honest as it is fascinating, providing a glimpse inside one of the most beloved and notorious bands in the history of rock music and demonstrating how, through it all, the road goes on . . . forever.

Truly an OUTSTANDING book. I cant express in words how much I enjoyed this book. I grew up with the Allman Brothers Band. I lived near Macon and had a band and we did almost all of the Allman Brothers tunes. This band has been my number ONE since the late sixties and I still love there music as much if not more today. Thank you Gregory for sharing this book and the times in Julliett .

Wow. Exceptional read! Couldn't put it down. So many great stories and anecdotes. Nice touch to see all the photos again, audio tracks and videos...very slick presentation on a tablet or pc. I've been a huge fan of The Allman Brothers Band since, at 12 years old, I hung from the front of the stage at the Spectrum, (Philly) watching the 5 brothers (before Berry died) play lights out. Great job, Gregory. You are one funny, wise MF that we can love and appreciate. See you in LA when you do your book tour. Rock on, Bro!

My Cross to Bear. When I started to read this book, I was unable to put it down. Not only I'd Gregory Allman a gifted writer but even with all the problems and crap in life he's dealt with, is a humbled, big hearted human being. Loved him before, & now even more. Big bray would be very very proud <3

Great read. Really enjoyed reading this book, any fan of the Brothers should check it out. Really any fan of music in general should read a copy. You get to hear all the party stories of a traveling the and, but more time is devoted to discussing the music and relationships made along the way amongst band members, crew, record execs, friends and of course family. Now that I am done I am hitting my iPod and listening to some Allman Brothers gems from the past.

This is a great book regardless if you are a fan. I have never bought a Allman Brothers lp and read this on a recommendation from my sister. Man, its amazing. The narration is amazing. Its great from the first moment you hear it. I loved it. You will not be disappointed.

Gregg Allman. Simply awesome

Very Entertaining. This book is very well written. I love the videos

After 40 years. After being a fan of The Allman Brothers for over forty years reading this book made me feel like I've known them all along

Fast and entertaining read. Comprehensive and compelling look at the life of Allman Brothers singer songwriter, Gregg Allman.

A real snoozer. Happy that he's well, but a very boring book.

My cross to bear Gregg Allman. Very good book. I read it in a few days...I totally related to much of the story, the times. Grew up with the music, got a little more familiar with the men behind the music. Nice. Thanx for puttin it out there for us. Brings back memories, the good, bad and ugly. But memories that are ours. Good health to you Gregg Allman.

My Cross to Bear. Wow, couldn't stop reading it. I've been a passionate fan since my first exposure to The Fillmore East album. I couldn't figure out the slide guitar or the jazz/blues mixture. What is that? How do they do that? I was playing Neil Young on the acoustic guitar and was blown away but the Fillmore album. I never got to see the Brothers while Duane was alive and I had an opportunity, which kills me. But this book makes you feel like you are there and I've always had a thirst for more information. Your music helped me through difficult times and inspires me to play to this day over 40 years later. The music will live forever! I'm so sorry Duane wasn't here longer, I still cry when ever I read about his accident. Thanks Greg for sharing this great story! I'm happy that you're healthier.

Best ABB memoir yet!. Incredible! A must read for any ABB follower! I've read all the previous books about the band but this is by far the most amazing. Gregg's honesty and insight into the life of The Brothers is unparalleled. May his road of health and great music go on until his forever is no more.

Excellent book!. I bought both the online book (to follow along and see all the pictures) and the audiobook. Was well written and the narrator was spot-on in delivery. I LUV ABB and Gregory’s soulful gravely blues voice can not be matched. That band went through so much it’s truly a miracle they survived. I also bought Galadrielle Allman’s audiobook (written by Duane Allman’s daughter), which filled in the women/ wives / girlfriend view. Although her book was good I found this book MY CROSS TO BEAR, to be superb. Wish I had a signed hard copy.

Not bad. Great band

Very enjoyable read. Opened my eyes to the wild ride that Gregory and the whole band were on for the last 40 years. Amazing story of survival and overcoming addiction. Fascinating.

Great Read!. Having loved the music of the Allman Brothers Band certainly made me curious enough to download the book days after its release. I bought the media rich version, unbelievable presentation Mr. Gregory Allman. The videos you included knocked me out. Also the inclusion of selected audio brought a richness and intimacy to your story. I only hope that you're well enough to travel to the West for a few gigs. Love your voice.glad to get a glimpse of your journey. Jeanne G

Great read!. Great job Gregory! I found the book to be incredibly honest and candid. I consider this a must read for anyone that is a fan of the Allman Brothers Band.

My Cross to Bear. Life can be just life in black and white. The Allman Brothers not only broke the color barrier but they added color to life. Greg is honest, sometimes denying that he may have been the problem at times. However, I have lived with the same plausible deniability. Great book not only for a Brothers fan but also for anyone who has battled the "demons". Thanks Gregory!

Gregory Allman is a living musical legend.. A true account of a band life and times from a musical legend himself. A firsthand insight to the music business from someone who true live the best and worst of it.

Awesome!. I grew up with ABB as a kid in Georgia. This is a great read that covers the human condition like no other book in a long time. There is joy, pain, success, failure, and ultimately, redemption. I too, have wrestled with the demons that Mr. Allman has. We are both still kicking. ABB forever!!!
