Allman Brothers Band Veteran Roadie Tells "Tails"
Thirty-two year veteran member of the Allman Brothers Band road crew, Joseph L. Campbell commonly known as "The Red Dog" by band members and fans, released his first book today, "A Book of Tails." Red Dog said, "This is the first inside look at the wild escapades and camaraderie during my early years on the road with the Allman Brothers Band." Red Dog's book is a lighthearted take on the early days. He recounts stories of the band's struggle to make ends meet, and the brotherhood that develops between the band members and roadies. He tells about the misadventures and mishaps they encountered on and off the road. Red Dog also tells "tails" of the gigs including tales of concert promoter Bill Graham, his legendary Fillmore venues, and the 1973 Watkins Glen Summer Jam when the Allmans performed with The Grateful Dead and The Band. Red Dog, who resides in Tampa, FL, attributed his inspiration for writing the book to his fallen friend and band member, Duane Allman. Red Dog said, "Brother Duane said I'd be the one to write the book..." Drummer and original band member Butch Trucks said, "This book it's fun, it's sad, it's maddening, it's all the things that life was during the most incredible few years of my life." Writer-director Cameron Crowe, an admitted Red Dog fan, included the Allman Brother Band roadie in his film "Almost Famous." Crowe first met Red Dog in 1973 on assignment while reporting for Rolling Stone magazine. Crowe said, "I've just finished reading "A Book of Tails." True rock, the kind that lasts forever, is about honesty and humor and love and chasing the elusive buzz of greatness. Red Dog's book captures all this and more. You can't put this thing down, and best of all, it makes you want to listen to music. Not just the Brothers, but all music. Red Dog really caught something with his writing. This book, and a copy of "Live at Fillmore East" belong in the time capsule reading -- Kick back and see what you missed. Two centuries from now I doubt anybody will have said it better." The band's tour mystic and archivist, Kirk West said, "I'm telling you this [book] is like having Red Dog sitting on an amp case on the loading dock before doors open..." "A Book of Tails" is available for order at www.legendaryreddog.com, or by contacting Epitome Production Services, LLC at 804-798-4322.
