Performer: Dickey Betts
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: This Southern rock best-of is a selection of the 1970s work of the Allman Brothers' singer and guitarist Dickie Betts, including four songs from his HIGHWAY CALL album, and a variety of tracks from his various albums done with Great Southern, like the lushly romantic "Bougainvillea," the slow-burning "Sweet Virginia," and the funky, organ-laced jazz-blues of "Dealin' With the Devil."
Though he's best known as Duane Allman's guitar sparring partner in the Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts also has a number of solo albums to his credit, the first hailing from 1974. Allman got more attention, but Betts was every inch his instrumental equal, not to mention the fact that the latter wrote some of the Allmans' best tunes ("Blue Sky," "Ramblin' Man," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed") and continued to lead the band's guitar assault through the '80s and '90s after Duane's death. After a bitter split with the band in 2000, Betts focused more closely on his solo career.
