Trey Hensley - “Blue Sky” (Allman Brothers Band cover - Dickey Betts tribute)

I remember “Blue Sky” being the first Allman Brothers Band song I ever heard. I was instantly hooked and Dickey Betts was instantly placed on my personal Mount Rushmore of guitar players and singers. Rest easy, Dickey Betts..and thanks for everything. I bet the Allman Brothers Band are already playing some gigs on the other side.

I feel like Tracy Lawrence, Tony Rice, and Keith Whitley magically became one person…

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Yes sir. Tracy Lawrence voice. And nice playing.

[@RamblinManMoto]

Man I wish Trey would release a CD of cover songs. I'd be good with just him and a guitar.

[@haydenburchfield126]

Man I was just thinking this. Do it Trey!!

[@jeffmcdonald7882]

Do it!!

[@ShannonSmith-kf3ys]

That would be awesome.

[@chrisdevine3511]

It needs to happen!!!!

[@PatriciaJhonson-r5i]

Agreed! Excellent!

[@JunkboxAmps]

Best guitar player on the planet. Trey is more than a fleet finger genius, he has impeccable arrangement skill and taste. Can’t forget his pitch perfect singing voice too.

[@chrisdevine3511]

You nailed it man. I mean the guitar playing is just other worldly but to have that voice too? Just astonishing

[@TheDude0fLife]

Holy shit. That was great! My favorite song ever, and the songbirds helped!

[@DanLockhart1]

So good! Thanks, Trey!

[@michaelkenna2024]

Thank you so very much Trey. Your rendition is respectful and wonderful.

[@pwaterdu]

Think thats the best it could be done without Dwaynes guitar with you. It will remain probobly my fav song forever..Thank you Trey!

[@Mike-r6x2k]

Jaw dropped, top top playing, Dickey lives forever through his prolific body of work, which ain't going away.

[@jonathanl2567]

This man needs an acoustic live cover album. I’ve had his cover of “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” on repeat for ages. He’s got a great throwback voice for these older generation songs.

[@allenhunsaker9530]

Thanks, Excellent job

[@michaelswaim5177]

I miss him too. Thanks, Trey!

[@danointo1425]

[@DannyLlewallyn]

What a fantastic rendition of my favorite song of all time! Thanks Trey!

[@geraldbrown2875]

Love this song, glad i got to see them live a few times. That is some real fine picking! 🎸

[@SpaceVENTING]

[@thecrossroadcafe7291]

Nice. One of my all time favorites. Like the Duane thing at the end.

[@laynethomas5202]

I've been lost and searching for anything that has a hint of Dickey. Your guitar sounds incredible and the rendition made me think that's how it originated... Brought another tear to my eyes with the taste of Little Martha. Bless you!!!

[@stevereyes5579]

That's a great version of blue sky

Saw you a while back in Ashville opening for Leftover Salmon, been listening to you ever since. Killin man, keep it coming

[@SleepyJoesDiaper]

I saw leftover salmon once. It was 1999 in Aspen CO with Widespread Panic & Ratdog. I like this dude especially the 90’s country.

[@madrasmusik]

Wow. Just wow Trey.

[@gregandersen6087]

Nice .very good!

[@papamurphy8737]

How many Jesica’s are walking around today because of old Dickie. ❤

[@alan4sure]

Just fabulous Trey👍👍🎶

[@indianaslim4971]

R.I.P. Dickey, well done Trey, although listening to this made me wonder what a version with you and Tommy Emmanuel or Billy Strings or Rob Ickes, or all of you would sound, an overload of awesomeness!!

[@FerrisChappell]

Great tribute

[@saggacc]

Sweet

[@travisschieber]

Dude, please cover Little Martha (heart emoji)

[@peter9422]

Grandissimo

[@slowboywhiteboardv4]

[@Time.Space.Heal.]

Respect!

[@mtown1994]

That FG9 🔥

[@adamwilson4649]

Plss come play at Denton farm Park next year

[@davidhixon_]

You are unreal

[@rongarcia1710]

Awesome. Please do a lesson on it. 😮

[@patrickniedermeyer2112]

How about Trey gets together with a bunch of other bluegrass heavies and record Live at Filmore East. Perhaps live, like folks do for The Last Waltz?

[@luvbgrass]

Your killer there Trey! What do you think about that new Yamaha. I have owned some cheap ones LOL

[@TreyAHensley]

Thank you! I really like the FG9…great guitars!

[@willemvannieuwenhuyzen3139]

nice

[@Becker333]

Little Martha snuck in there….All Super

[@A1994BhC]

Great cover, must be real cold out with how much the guitar is buzzin😂. Good playing tho

[@TreyAHensley]

I’m tuned down a half step. Most guitars aren’t set up for that…

[@A1994BhC]

@@TreyAHensley ahhh i see, turn that truss a quarter loose and put some relief in it😉

[@pawwalton2157]

Great tribute cover!

[@richardnavarijo7477]

Excellent, very good. Thanks

[@richardstones6445]

Feel like someone needs to say Amen after that. Thank you Trey. That Yamaha sounds beautiful. Is it an M or R?

[@TreyAHensley]

Thank you! It’s an R model

[@JayGDadof3]

MAN this FG9 rips!

[@dannycocuzza4842]

Sounds great, what mic do you use on videos? Just the one on your phone?

[@TreyAHensley]

Thanks! Yeah, just the mic on my phone.

[@donsaxon1169]
