@@icmman7 i don't think he's overlooked. A lot of famous and successful musicians give respect and props to him for his influence and song-writing, and any decent country blues band today will do the same and acknowledge his greatness. Hell, Bob Dylan has said before that Dickie was his favorite guitarist in the world.

Truly a Dickey song! After a chorus/verse/chorus/guitar solo/verse/chorus, the song resolves for another two minutes in an intricate section inspired by the end of "Layla," a track Duane Allman played on. This was Dickey Betts' idea. To accomplish it, he first tried overdubbing lots of guitar parts, but then recruited his friend Les Dudek, who was in the studio, to play lead with him, as Duane would have. They played together, creating a bed by repeating the guitar line over and over, then doing it again in a lower register, which they then overdubbed onto the track. Betts then overdubbed a lead part on slide guitar, coming in and out of the track as he listened to the bed. This section served as a tribute to Duane Allman, as it built on the twin-guitar harmony sound he forged with the band. It also gave the band lots of room to show their chops when they played it live. Legends all…

I can really hear the two drummer set up in this song, awesome. "Ramblin' Man" was their biggest hit besides "Whipping Post" but my all time favorite by The Allman Brothers is "Blue Sky". It didn't chart well at all for some reason but for me it's one of their best songs. Hope you get to check it out.

I saw them twice back in the 70s & never knew that Dickie was married to a Native American whose actual name was "Blue Sky". Or "Bluesky" maybe, ANYWAY thats the kind of tidbits of info that really makes the internet worthwhile. And if I'd have known, I might've named my own daughter Blue Sky. Too bad.

Keep up the great work guys! LOVE your reviews! I just commented on your review of the Grateful Dead's "Cumberland Blues" from their Europe '72 album because you were making a similar point that they are very diverse in their sound, and you really never know what to expect going in. The same thing happens with The Allman Brothers for the same reason: 2 drummers. Many people don't pick up on how much having 2 drummers really opens up their sound, and expands the rhythmic possibilities.

This was the first album recorded after Duane and Berry died. Les Dudek played harmony. The little boy on the cover is Vaylor Trucks, Butch's son. The photos were taken at a farm in Lizella, a little town close to Macon. Idlewild South was the name of the farm, I think. People from Middle Georgia were familiar with Highway 41, etc. If I'm not mistaken, this song was the 1st if not only #1 hit for the ABB.
