“SOUTHERN MAN: Music and Mayhem in the American South” ACT ONE by Alan Walden with S.E. Feinberg
Anyone who was alive during the golden age of R&B remembers the music, but Alan Walden and SE Feinberg’s book “Southern Man: Music and Mayhem in the American South” invites the reader to the centre of the story, into the studio and on the road, to backroom deals and backroom brawls. In Act One, S.E. Feinberg talks about Alan, his best friend Otis Redding, his brother, — the legendary producer Phil Walden — the juke joints in Macon, Georgia, The Apollo in New York City’s Harlem, and the tragedies of loss, disappointment, and betrayal in racially turbulent times.
