Les Brers

As the Allman Brothers Band's tour manager for more than twenty-five years and a photographer for more than forty, Kirk West documented the Brothers from 1973 to their final performance at New York's Beacon Theatre in 2014. Granted unprecedented access to the legendary group, West captured intimate behind-the-scenes moments as well as the larger-than-life energy of the band's live performances, including rare images of all the solo projects and side bands, both short-lived and hugely successful. In addition to more than 350 images-all published here for the first time- Les Brers contains essays written by New York Times best-selling author Alan Paul, former tour manager for the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead Sam Cutler, and Hittin' the Note magazine publisher and editor John Lynskey, as well as a foreword by guitar legend Warren Haynes, offering an unprecedented glimpse at one of rock's most celebrated and storied bands.
