I've never read any, but I'm looking into getting Gregg Allman's new autobiography "My Cross to Bear".

Not sure it would be categorized as an "autobiography" or a documentary, but DiG! is really good. It follows The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre; and the rise and fall of each band.

Edit: this is a movie, not a book. Sorry for the mixup.

Just got done with My Cross to Bear. Good read.

Would love to read a book about Dickey's side of the story. Does one exist?

Also, Gregg mentions Duane's daughter is in the process of writing a bio on her dad. Pretty excited about that prospect.

Reading Keith Richards' "Life" right now. So far I have enjoyed it.

Autobiography or biography?

Biographies I enjoyed:

"Hammer of the Gods" about Zeppelin
"This Wheel's on Fire" about Levon/The Band (I think co-authored by Levon)
"Point Blank" about Springsteen
"Moon" about Keith Moon
"A Dreamer of Pictures" about Neil Young
"A Saucerful of Secrets" about Pink Floyd
"Riders on the Storm" about the Doors (by Densmore)
"Crosby, Stills, and Nash" is practically a textbook

I enjoy Stephen Davis' biographies the most of any. He wrote those first two. I think he has a Rolling Stones one, too.
