A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other: The Story of Shannon Hoon and

One of the most tragic stories of the 1990â??s rock world was that of singer Shannon Hoon, and his band, Blind Melon. Despite scoring one of the decadeâ??s most enduring singles and videos, â??No Rain,â?and a quadruple platinum hit with their 1992 self-titled debut album (in addition to touring alongside rockâ??s biggest names), Hoon could not overcome a dangerous drug addiction. Only two records into a promising career, Hoon was dead from an overdose at the age of 28. â??A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Otherâ?? is the first book to tell the groupâ??s storyâ??culled from over 50 exclusive interviews (including the surviving band members and those closest to the band) and featuring many never-before-seen photos. â??I am honored that Greg has painstakingly accounted for what the hell happened during those crazy times. He has summed up all the chaos, jubilation, and paranoia that is Blind Melon.â? -Brad Smith, Blind Melon bassist
