How any human being could come up w/ these melodies, riffs and piano compositions is insane, what a masterpiece that will never be seen ever again! The music of the 60 and 70 was the greatest of all time and will never be duplicated! These great players were all kids of the baby boom w/ their own unique characteristics that will never be emulated again. Imagine putting these super groups together I.e Skynard,Altman’s,Zepplin,Pink Floyd,Ac/Dc etc etc by meeting each other and sitting around day after day practicing w/ out the aid of computers, or being able to virtually pop up a “how to video “in a nanosecond , unreal two decades we will never see again!!!

He is truly one of the greatest, but he is also a complete a$$hole to work with. I don’t know that from personal experiences, but anything I have read on the history of the Allman Bros band never fails to mention Betts’s problems of alcohol abuse and pissy attitude. But, of course most southern rock bands work hard and play hard. They are nothing like the soft boy bands dumped on us over the last 20 years

Yes ! And the Allman’s lost a real asset when Chuck left. Brothers and Sisters is one of their greatest albums, and Chuck was integral to that sound, especially as a rhythm player. And why not have 2 keyboard players, along with their 2 drummers and (usually) 2 guitarists ? Gregg’s organ is great, but it doesn’t give you the percussive, rhythmic aspect of a real piano. And Chuck could’ve brought back their jazz-influenced jam band chops from their early days.

Woke up this morning with an unusual sadness in my heart, knowing Dickey Betts has left this earth, but with “Jessica” playing in my head. I’ve been listening to this song since ‘73, and love it as much now as I did then. In addition to his soaring, melodic guitar playing Dickey’s songwriting gave the Allman Bros Band their absolute best songs: In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky, Jessica, and Rambling Man. More than fifty years later, these songs bring me joy. Better yet, they have continued on. My own kids-and many of their friends, growing up-were turned on to the ABB and are confirmed fans. And best of all, the other day when I called my daughter, I heard “One Way Out” playing on her stereo in the background. I asked her about it, and she said that my 6-year-old granddaughter had put the record on and that it was her new favorite record. Carry on Duane, and carry on, Dickey. Your music looks like it’s going to live forever.

Age 62 here. Have been crazy about this song since age 19. Just imagine being on a Criss Craft boat, on the Kennebec River headed toward Boothbay Harbor. In love, drinking Cape Coders and listening to Jessica! It doesn't or hasn't ever gotten any better than that!

@wilywascal2024
@wilywascal2024 3 года назад
Written by guitarist Dickey Betts, the song is a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, in that it was designed to be played using only two fingers on the left hand. Django had suffered damage to his left hand in a fire at his home when a very young man, losing nearly all use of his two small fingers on that hand, but went on despite that to become one of the world's greatest and most influential guitarists. Betts wrote the majority of "Jessica" at the band's farm in Juliette, Georgia. He named it after his daughter, Jessica Betts, who was an infant when it was released. She had bounced along to the song's rhythm, and Betts attempted to capture her attitude with its melody. He invited fellow guitarist Les Dudek over to collaborate on it, and Dudek performed the bridge. Some accounts credit Dudek with the acoustic intro on the recording. The arrangement was crafted prior to recording, which took place at Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, Georgia. Along with _'Jessica,'_ Zappa's _'Sexual Harassment in the Workplace'_ and _'Silver and Gold'_ by Quicksilver Messenger Service are among my favorite rock instrumentals.

@@thomasfoss9963 ~ _'Blue Sky'_ is another great one, too! So many great songs from the Allman Brothers Band, the quintessential Southern rock group who defined the genre. Although, still prefer Molly Hatchet's version of their song _'Dreams I'll Never See,'_ which I think has more punch to it. (My brother prefers the original.)
