Collectors/Let's Get Together

Ah, Dickey Betts, the legendary guitarist and founding member of the one and only Allman Brothers Band. The man is a true guitar hero, known for his incredible slide guitar skills and his signature Southern rock sound. So, when I heard he had a new album out, I was both excited and intrigued. "The Collectors No 1/Let's Get Together" is a double album that showcases Betts' versatility and talent. The first disc, "The Collectors No 1", is a collection of some of Betts' most iconic tracks, including "Blue Sky" and "Jessica". These tracks are classics for a reason, and Betts' guitar work is as sharp and soulful as ever. The second disc, "Let's Get Together", is a more laid-back affair, featuring collaborations with some of Betts' closest musical friends. The standout track on this disc is "High Falls", a 20-minute epic that showcases Betts' improvisational skills and ability to take the listener on a musical journey. Overall, "The Collectors No 1/Let's Get Together" is a must-have for any fan of Dickey Betts or the Allman Brothers Band. It's a masterclass in Southern rock, and a testament to Betts' enduring talent and influence. So, grab a copy, crank up the volume, and let the music take you away. You won't regret it.
