In 1969, Betts became a founding member of the legendary Allman Brothers Band, with whom he would make his name as a composer, vocalist, and guitarist. He took on sole lead guitar duties at the peak of the band\u2019s commercial success in the mid-1970s and wrote and sang their classic hit, \u201cRamblin\u2019 Man.\u201d A native of West Palm Beach, Florida, Betts also performed with Dickey Betts & Great Southern; The Dickey Betts Band; and Betts, Hall, Leavell and Trucks. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

Live from the Lone Star Roadhouse<\/em>\u00a0was recorded in New York City on November 1, 1988, and originally broadcast by local classic rock radio station WNEW-FM. In addition to Betts, the concert features a stellar band of musicians including Gov\u2019t Mule and Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes, keyboardist Johnny Neel, bassist Marty Privette, and drummer Matt Abts. The tracklist includes Allman Brothers Band favorites written by Betts (\u201cBlue Sky,\u201d \u201cJessica,\u201d \u201cIn Memory of Elizabeth Reed\u201d), other ABB standards (\u201cStatesboro Blues,\u201d \u201cOne Way Out\u201d), and selections from Betts\u2019 1988 solo album,\u00a0Pattern Disruptive<\/em>, including his tribute to Duane Allman, \u201cDuane\u2019s Tune.\u201d A trio of all-star players also lend their talents: Rick Derringer (\u201cStatesboro Blues,\u201d \u201cOne Way Out,\u201d \u201cRock and Roll, Hoochie Koo,\u201d \u201cSouthbound\u201d), Jack Bruce and Mick Taylor (\u201cSpoonful,\u201d \u201cSouthbound\u201d).\u00a0

In his liner notes for the package, music journalist Cory Frye writes, \u201cAs great as they sounded on record, Betts and friends were best experienced live, and we have the visionaries at WNEW-FM to thank for this rare opportunity to hear this lineup unchained, interpreting Betts\u2019 Allman Brothers catalog with reverence and vigor\u2026 Was it all too much? No, on the contrary: The Lone Star clamored for more. You will too, guaranteed.\u201d\u00a0
