One Way Out: The Inside History Of The Allman Brothers Band - Plot & Excerpts
The Brothers followed Seven Turns with Shades of Two Worlds in 1991. It was a strong, diverse album that seemed to indicate that the Allman Brothers were truly back. MARC QUIÑONES, percussionist, ABB member since 1991: I was a member of Spyro Gyra, and Butch and his wife came to a show in Tallahassee. Afterwards, the manager says, “Butch Trucks from the Allman Brothers wants to meet you.” I’m like, “I don’t know who he is or they are, but OK.” He comes in and goes, in front of the whole band, “Man, my wife and I couldn’t stop watching you. You were the fucking show. You’re exactly what we’ve been looking for for years and we’re going to steal you!” I’m a Puerto Rican from the Bronx who didn’t grow up listening to rock and roll and I’m thinking, “I don’t even know who this dude is.” We exchanged numbers and a few months later he called and invited me to Memphis to “play on a couple of tracks.” That was my introduction to the Allman Brothers. I see Jaimoe sitting on a cooler and think he might be one of the roadies.
