Heartbreaker. [RIP], Mr. Betts.
‘Ramblin’ Man.’ great riff
Rest In Peace Dickey....What a band The Good Lord is putting together.....it’ll be fun to see one day!
God Bless the Betts family in their time of grief
I seen the ABB back in the day but my best show was catching Dickey and Great Southern at a little outdoor beach bar in Florida when I moved here 17 years ago. Standing 5 feet from him playing Jessica was an amazing night I’ll never forget.
RIP Dickey.
Had a friend who shared the (small) stage w/Dickey at a benefit a few miles north of where Dickey lived (back in the 80’s). They gave him a crossbow for his participation because he was known to hunt the feral hog.

Dickey Betts, Allman Brothers Guitarist, Dies at 80
Ping
NO! What a sweet voice.
RIP
Under-rated guitarist, IMO.
I heard his father was a gambler down here in Georgia.
My cousin was the road manager for the Allman Brothers for 6 months or so/ Circa 1986 or so. I can only guess that in those dark days for the Allman’s, that my cousin’s job was a living hell. Dickie Betts pulled a knife on him/ I regret not asking Cuz for some details on this.
For me, my cousins street cred shot up so high. I was so in awe of him, that I did not ask him to elaborate. Such as how high and or drunk Dickie was.
RIP and I toast Dickie Betts for some of the Allmans best tunes, riffs and guitar solos. Melissa for example. Blue sky. What a soulful dude!
