Hey Chris so happy I found this Thank you. Dr John Felicissimo’s wife Jo

I like how Duane and Dicky complement one another on the studio version of Blue Sky on the "Eat a Peach LP. Hard to believe Duane was a blues/slide player with those beautiful pedal steel guitar riffs.

[@joannedinoia3660]

Gosh Chris thank you . So much fun to listen to this and see ya

[@bobmorr2892]

There's only one thing wrong with this video. It's not long enough I could listen to you play all day.

[@andyford8359]

Good stuff!

[@chrischarles1468]

Thanks for doing this!

[@charlesvonbocker5785]

Chris - really enjoyed this video and your channel. I could tell when you were covering that jam in You Don’t Love Me - u put time in back in the day breakin’ down those sweet licks. The quintessential album for players to hone their chops. Loved that album - still do!

[@rob28734]

Chris - Russell Bryant here, so glad I got to meet you and spend time with you last Saturday night at Luther Williams Park playing with my son, Blake and band Leonard Washington …..a pleasure - my best to you and upcoming tour with MTB …. God Bless my man !

In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. Sounds like they are both playing that intro in the same place higher on the neck. Then they switch to the harmony. Duane going up high. Then doing rhythm. I can still play it but not as fast as the recording. Got old and my fingers refuse to move as fast as my brain tells them. Still fun to play. They were all great feel good songs.

[@RodneyParsons]

Dickey's solo on "Searching for a Rainbow" is simply Heaven sent. As for Duane... BB King Medley will always stop me in my tracks

[@grantsmythe8625]

Dickey did such fine work on his album Highway Call too. The solo on Rain is great.

[@charlesvonbocker5785]

Wow! Did not know that was Dickey on SFR

[@HamboneS]

Awesome interview. Chris is a natural. Not to Mention one of the sweetest people I know. He’s a “Southern Rock Insider” ya baby!!

[@RickMcCargar]

Just found your channel, and love the ABB, particularly the original lineup. Thanks for the info!

[@rollinscossingtonjr.1025]

chris hicks i did not know who you were until very recently , sir , thank you for breathing musical life into me i did not think that i could be touched by another guitar player but im glad i was proven wrong by you , what are your feelings on allen collins , steve gaines and randall hall ? ........it was nice to hear you mention danny toler in this video......i enjoy your videos

[@gerardanthony9834]

Delightful segment. You’re a cool dude. Terrific and engaging analysis of two twin towers of musical talent. Agree that they often did sound similar. People have to remember Duane and Dickey were not partners for very long. Forged over hundreds of shows per year for those brief two-and-a-half years, they were truly going into parts unknown. Credit to Dickey for picking up the leadership, no easy task in the wake of the lightning bolt, Duane.

[@superfuzzymomma]

Great stuff friend - awesome playing

[@sweetpeachone]

Love seeing you here chris. Since I can’t see you in person

[@fuzzybutkus3951]

Did you ever play with Dangerous Dan Toler. Guy was a beast. Replaced Duane in AB,played with Dickie in Great Southern and was in Greggs solo band. Yet nobody knows who he is.Oh brother Frankie Was in Marshall Tucker for awhile.

[@joannedinoia3660]

Loved Danny ! Never had the pleasure to meet his brother Frankie , but I’m sure he was a gentleman as Dangerous DanToler was ❤️

[@larryn2682]

Dan Toler was great, with a style very similar to Dickey. He would have needed to play slide to really replace Duane.

[@gregmccurry5619]

Great video Chris. Your guitar is beautifull prs I think. I just bought a Gibson Les Paul Dickey Betts Goldie it came with 2 guitar cases.. This will go along with my sky dog box set a lot to listen.

[@j.s.arrigo9268]

Hey just wanted to say thanks for sharing your insights & stories about Dickey & Duane. It's cool to hear the tales of those who were close to them & know the facts. More importantly I want to say Holy Crap Chris! When you start playing Layla, "mind blown" because that is one of my oldest most very favorite songs of all times! However when you played Stormy Monday I just wanted to leap through my phone and give you a big hug because that song has huge sentimental value to me and it was wicked awesome to hear you play it so pretty. Thanks for that!! & for all you bring to Southern Rock Insider.

[@perijetton9275]

✌️ An interview with Chuck Leavelle would be awesome ❤️

[@thefuzzboxx1018]

A great listen bud.

[@chrischoir3594]

sounds great, what guitar are you playing here?

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Dickie ad Toy my favorite player/Song writers by far. I hate the word underated but a guy that kinda gets forgotten is Dangerous Dan Toler.Replaces Duane,Plays in Great Southern with Dickie and Greggs solo band with his brother on drums. Drummer played in Marshall Tucker for awhile both passed waaay to soon.Did you know either??

[@ronwhite7158]

Nice job bro!

[@ronnie5129]

Chris, when Duane and Gregg here riding horses, Duane fell off the horse and injured his arm, Duane was pissed off at Gregg, Duane did not call Gregg for a month, then Gregg Dropped off a album by Taj Mahal, and a bottle of Coricidin on his front porch, and went home, after listening to the album, he was inspired by the slide playing of Jessie Ed Davis, on Statesboro Blues, if it was not for this , Duane may have never played slide like we know, thanks to Taj, Jessie Ed davis, and Gregg, the rest is History Man, Cousin Figel

[@paulfrombrooklyn5409]

And that horse!!!

[@dwanpyrtle3134]

Derek gave it away in an interview, saying that the slide becomes a voice. I always felt that was the basis of Duane's style.

[@johnrobertmatthews7355]

You can't handle the truth lol hugs sir
