We lost a great one today. The sweet sounds of Dickey Betts and the Dickey Betts Band. One of the greatest guitarist to ever live.

Rest in Peace.. My first concert was Dickey Betts at Coleman's in Rome, New York in 1983. Blew my mind and made me want a Les Paul. My thoughts and prayers go out to Duane and the entire Betts family.

Dickey Betts, on writing “Ramblin’ Man”:

In 1969, my friend Kenny “asked me how I was doing with my music & said, ‘I bet you're just tryin' to make a livin' & doin' the best you can.’ I liked how that sounded and carried the line around in my head for about three years.”
