FOLKS, here is my new interview with DUANE BETTS, son of Allman Brothers Band original member and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer DICKEY BETTS, on his success with the ALLMAN BETTS BAND. "To their credit, Devon Allman, Duane Betts and Berry Duane Oakley have worked hard to create their own trail in the music world, not relying solely on their obvious family legacies. At the same time, their fathers set a lofty standard for excellence as far as music goes, which can be a motivator. Still, their generation is unique and finding their own path was the key, with the end result being the ever-growing success of the Allman Betts Band."

Short, but very nice write-up Derek.

Derek,

 

Thanks for posting. I really like the continuing evolution of Duane. He seems real comfortable now & his playing is really, really good. He and Johnny Stachela are a good combo

@redhouse1969 I saw them twice in 2020 and it was a good show. Organ and drums good too. Devon Allman played some decent guitar solos. Devon inherited all 42 of Gregg Allman's guitars and he has several with him and I never saw Gregg play many of them on stage. 

Johnny is a nice slide player. Played a SG both times. 

Duane has about 6 of Dickey's guitars with him. Three electrics and three acoustics. 90 percent of the time he is on Dickey's 2001 signature custom Goldtop LP. Has a real nice tone.

Have seen them twice in Key West; first at an outdoor show in 2019 and then this past June indoors. Both shows were just great. Devon is a wonderful host and leader and does a great job. Duane's guitar work is so good. at the last show Devon kind of abruptly left the stage. I thought, Oh No, is the show over already? Nonplussed, Duane just started in on the opening chords of Jessica, and they jammed away for another 45 minutes. Devon came back, they did a great encore, and it was quite a night. Berry opened the show with Trouble No More, and smiled the whole night through. Johnny is great on slide. The entire band is tight. The highlight for me was Savannah's Dream. you could see and feel so much Dickey in Duane's song.
