The Dickey Betts Band New Live Album Available This Friday

An original member of the Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts first found fame and fortune with the release of their 1971 live album, At Filmore East. Betts played a key role in making the Allman Brothers Band stadium-filling superstars in the mid-70's then returned the band to prominence in 1989, keeping the group among rock's respected vanguard through the '90's. As leader of his Great Souther band during the 2000s, Betts continued to play stages around the world, elating fans from Chicago to Tokyo.
