Dickey Betts Dead at 80

- “The monuments that he helped to create for Southern rock will never be replicated,” the Marshall Tucker Band says

Dickey Betts, the Allman Brothers Band co-founder who was ousted from the group in 2000, has died, the guitarist’s family said.

Betts, 80, died April 18 at his home in Florida. No cause was given.

Betts’ family remembered the musician as a “legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch” in their statement.

“His loss will be felt worldwide,” they said.

With Betts’ death, drummer Jaimoe is the last surviving original Allman Brother.

“Sad, sad day,” Tinsley Ellis said. “Rest in peace, Dickey Betts.”

Betts co-founded the ABB in 1969, establishing a 12-string conversation with fellow guitarist Duane Allman and quickly became “an essential component of the Allman Brothers Band’s improvisatory magic,” as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said in a eulogy.

“One of the best to ever do it,” Tedeschi Trucks Band said of Betts. “Rest easy, Dickie.”

After Duane’s death, Betts, as lone axeman, was the country to Gregg Allman’s blues, giving the band its biggest hit with “Ramblin’ Man” and imbuing the ABB songbook with epic instrumentals such as the jazzy “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” inspired by a tombstone in the cemetery where Gregg and Duane Allman now lie, and the countrified “Jessica,” inspired by Betts’ daughter. And Betts’ 1974 LP Highway Call is an album anyone who calls themselves a fan of bluegrass or Americana music must have in their collection.

“Dickie more than anyone had an impressionable impact in shaping and defining the genre of music that has come to be known as Southern rock,” the Outlaws said in a statement. “The influence of his musicianship and songwriting skills are immeasurable and his passing marks the end of an era.”

The Marshall Tucker Band echoed the Outlaws, saying: “The monuments that (Betts) helped to create for Southern rock will never be replicated.”

After a time, the ABB returned to its two-guitar format and Betts played alongside such masters as Dan Toler, Warren Haynes, Jack Pearson and Derek Trucks before he and the group split acrimoniously in 2000.

“He was passionate in life, be it music, songwriting, fishing, hunting, boating, golf, karate or boxing,” the Allman Brothers said in a statement attributed to the “band, family and crew.”

“Dickey was all in on and excelled at anything that caught his attention. … Play on, Brother Dickey, you will be forever remembered and deeply missed.”

Soulshine

When you can't find the light That got you through a cloudy days When the stars ain't shinin' bright You feel like you've lost you're way When those candle light of home Burn so very far away Well, you got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say, "Soulshine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Hey, now people don't mind We all feel this way sometime You got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day"

Allman Bros Band, Where it all Begins, released 1994, Greg Allman vocals, Warren Haynes songwriter

Warren Haynes’ “Soul” Shines Around the World

- Allman Brothers track is Playing for Change’s Newest Song around the World

There was a time - from, say 1996 until late 2023 - when Sound Bites didn’t care if he ever heard “Soulshine” again.

But then Warren Haynes, on acoustic guitar and vocals that seem to defy the passage of time, re-recorded his 1994 Allman Brothers Band composition with a global cast for Playing for Change’s Song around the World campaign, and “Soulshine” shone brightly once again.

Turns out the overwrought song works perfectly in this setting with Shemekia Copeland, Ivan Neville and Hawaii’s Kawai Hoe on co-lead vocals - the latter also playing uke - and fantastic backgrounds emanating from ensembles in Jamaica and South Africa.

Add slide guitar from Italy; bass from Brazil; percussion from Ghana and Brazil; and a surprisingly effective saxophone solo from France, and the song takes on an entirely new meaning. And that bad taste Sound Bites has been carrying for lo these many years disappeared.
