  3. "Ramblin' Man" is a song by rock band #theAllmanBrothersBand, released in August 1973 as the #leadSingle from the group's fourth studio album, #BrothersAndSisters (1973). Written and sung by the band's guitarist, #DickeyBetts, it was inspired by a 1951 song of the same name by #HankWilliams. It is much more grounded in #countryMusic than other Allman Brothers Band compositions, which made the group reluctant to record it. Guitarist #LesDudek provides guitar #harmonies.

  9. The Allman Brothers Band

    November 4, 1969 ~ The debut album from The Allman Brothers Band is released. Legendary rock writer Lester Bangs called the album "consistently ... subtle, and honest, and moving," describing the band as "a white group who've transcended their schooling to produce a volatile blues-rock sound of pure energy, inspiration and love." #theallmanbrothersband #60srock #classicrock #70smusic #blues #bluesrock #dickeybetts #duaneallman #gregallman

  11. Dickey Betts, cofounder of the Allman Brothers Band, died last week. In this essay for Paste, Matt Mitchell remembers his work on "Eat a Peach" and "Brothers and Sisters." "I contend that, between February 1972 and August 1973, there was no greater rocker walking among us than Dickey Betts," Mitchell writes. "Most musicians would kill to write 'Blue Sky,' 'Jessica' and 'Ramblin’ Man' over the course of a long career; Betts did it in just 16 months’ time, a creative peak few musicians of his caliber, genre and longevity have ever paralleled."

  15. Canada’s CBC TV news* tonight:

    Canadians need to know about #DickeyBetts and a hockey team move.

    They do not need—nor can they be trusted with—transparent reportage of the #genocide we are sponsoring in #Gaza

    #canada #cbc #complicity

    * ‘The National’ - soon to be renamed, doubtless, with something tailored to our narcissistic psyche like: “Your And Only Your News Show & No One Else’s”

  17. Dickey Betts wrote “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” for the Allman Brothers Band’s second album Idewild South, and on this live version off the 1971 masterpiece album At Fillmore East, guitarists Betts and Duane Allman are so damn good it’s ridiculous. #dickeybetts #allmanbrothers

    Allman Brothers Band: Syracuse, 1972

    Normally don't do archival releases or generally on-your-radar shit, but appropriate for today, in case you missed this or need a relisten, this is some raw, single-guitar Allmans that is a must-listen rare stopgap in ABB (and Dickey Betts) history. Enjoy!

  20. I was never an Allman Brothers fan. I went through an At Fillmore East phase the way most guitar players do. I was a huge fan of Duane Allman’s playing on Derek and the Dominoes Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs album and at some point I needed more and that brought me to At Fillmore East. Duane Allman’s playing is other worldly on that record. In between the stratospheric heroics there were the moments featuring the other guy. That other guy is Dickey Betts. When you step back and look at it closely, his playing is just as good as Allman’s. Maybe not equal (because that’s asking too much from a normal human), but close enough.

    On top of being a fantastic lead player, he wrote some incredible songs. “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” is pretty much perfect. I spent a lot of time in my youth sitting in front of my cassette player trying to figure out how to play that song. Just picking up what I could. It’s a twin lead guitar instrumental that to my ear is closer to Fusion than Southern Rock. I’d play along for a while, then stare at the speakers, slack jawed, when Duane’s solos came up, then I’d play along with Dickey’s solos.

    Outside of that record though, I never really had much use for The Allman Brothers. Southern Rock as a genre has its moments but generally speaking it wasn’t for me. Respect where respect is due though. Dickey Betts as a song writer, guitarist, and singer is deserving of all of the respect.

    He passed away this morning at age 80. Rest in Peace, Dickey Betts. Everyone go give At Fillmore East a spin in his memory.
