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

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

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€œNo 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€œI 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
