Turn it Up! My Years with Lynyrd Skynyrd

Love, Life, and Death, Southern Style

By: Ron Eckerman

Narrated by: Ron Eckerman

Former tour manager and plane crash survivor Ron Eckerman reveals the rigors of life on the road as Lynyrd Skynyrd takes the world by storm in 1976, and the ironic turn of events preceding the tragic plane crash in 1977. Ron narrated this audio originally in 2011.

Ron lost a one year battle with acute myeloid leukemia in May of 2014. He asked just a few

weeks prior to his passing to re-release the paperback, add photos, and donate any proceeds to the Leukemia Foundation. A book about Ron's cancer battle, The Last Tour: Love, Laughter, and Tears was released in November of 2014 by his wife and caregiver, about his courageous battle against leukemia. He never gave up hope and he never stopped smiling. It is also available on Amazon as in paperback and Kindle, and will soon be released in audio. The Last Tour: Love, Laughter, and Tears by Carolyn Day, and proceeds will also go to the Leukemia Foundation.

Great account, poor ending.

Very informative. My only complaint is how short his account of the crash is.. understandable, but as one of the last living survivors I expected him to go into much greater detail then he did. The crash is more of a footnote.

Great audiobook

Really easy to listen to - I liked the narration and the ending with the authors wife.

Fantastic Story Deep

this is absolutely a must for any Lynyrd Skynyrd fan... fantastic story told he really gets in depth about their personalities.

Highly recommend

If you are a Skynyrd fan this is a great book for you! It’s such an intimate look into the life of the band on tour, and I learned more details about things that were alluded to in Gene Odom’s book.

Heart warming story of rock and roll and family

A rare look behind the curtain of the best Band to every grace the stage. Told by someone who was right there with them. Great book. Makes you miss Ronnie, Steve and Cassie that much more.
