Dickey Betts & Great Southern - Back Where It All Begins - Live At The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame + Museum (2005)

Dickey Betts & The Great Southern Band performed live at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on September 28, 2004. Betts, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 as a member of the Allman Brothers Band, became the first Hall of Fame inductee to record a new release live at the museum. In the late 1960s, Dickey Betts joined the Allman Brothers Band as their second lead guitarist and singer. In addition to emulating bandleader Duane Allman, Betts also wrote memorable songs such as "Revival" and the instrumental hit "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." After Duane Allman died in a car accident in 1971, Betts and Allman's brother Gregg shared leadership of the band, with Betts writing and performing the band's biggest hit, "Ramblin' Man." In 1974, Betts released his first solo album, Highway Call. In 1976, the Allmans broke up and Betts formed Dickey Betts & Great Southern. The Allmans reunited in 1978, with Betts contributing to the songs "Crazy Love," "Angeline," and "Straight From the Heart." Betts returned with the Dickey Betts Band (renamed Dickey Betts & Great Southern in 2002) and Pattern Disruptive in 1988. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum exists to educate visitors, fans, and scholars from around the world about the history and significance of rock and roll. The museum accomplishes this mission through its efforts to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret the art form.
