Dickey Betts "Ramblin' Man"

Recommended Posts

Way over played on my local classic rock FM radio station...

 

It's a little too country for my liking, but it was their biggest "hit"...

 

I far more appreciated the Bluesier stuff and the unique harmony guitar tunes where Dickey & Duane complimented each other so well...

 

I'd rather hear Statesboro Blues any day of the week! (which was reportedly inspired by the 1968 Taj Mahal version)

Originally penned by Blind Willie McTell and 1st recorded in 1928.

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a bit of a Rock-n'Roll historian. I kick butt on Rock triva games. Didn't really plan it. I guess I've just been a fan long enough to have heard most of the stories

As this story goes, after the deaths of Duane and Berry Oakley, the band was kind of in limbo. And Dickey began hanging out in Nashville. And was influenced by the Nashville sound to write "Ramblin Man".
