A number of books in the 2000s have chronicled Southern rock's history, including Randy Poe's ''Skydog: The Duane Allman Story'' and Rolling Stone writer [[Mark Kemp]]'s ''Dixie Lullaby: A Story of Music, Race & New Beginnings in a New South''. ''Turn It Up'' was released by Ron Eckerman, Lynyrd Skynyrd's former manager and plane crash survivor. Sociologist Jason T.
