DESCRIPTION:
Dickey Betts does not add to his reputation with Ramblin’ Man: The Dickey Betts Band Live at the St George Theater. To be fair, he doesn’t significantly sully reputation as an icon of Southern rock either, but that’s just testament to how firmly established is his position in history as co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band, brilliant co-guitarist with its leader, the late Duane Allman, and composer of many of the iconic group’s most memorable tunes (including its sole mainstream hit from 1973, from which this release takes its main title).
Nevertheless, while this 2018 concert offering from a historic New York venue reasserts Betts’ valiant intentions to honor the late Gregg Allman—as well as that aforementioned Southern rock legacy—it only serves to reaffirm the diminution of his skills, so clearly in evidence in the years following his ouster from the Dixie-rock pioneers and prior to his ostensible retirement. Repeated hearing and/or watching this combination of CD and Blu-ray (confoundingly, there is no DVD counterpart), simply ratifies the first impression(s), particularly for any fan who’s seen the guitarist/composer in the intervening years. The impeccable audio mastering by Sterling Sound is hardly for naught, but only clarifies those shortcomings.
