"Ramblin' Man" is a song by American rock band #theAllmanBrothersBand, released in August 1973 as the #leadSingle from the group's fourth studio album, #BrothersAndSisters (1973). Written and sung by the band's guitarist, #DickeyBetts, it was inspired by a 1951 song of the same name by #HankWilliams. It is much more grounded in #countryMusic than other Allman Brothers Band compositions, which made the group reluctant to record it.

Nice little set at the Lincoln in Raleigh last night. Was a tribute to #DickeyBetts. We did a short set of “unplugged” stuff—Little Martha, Pony Boy, and Sweet Melissa.

Minor disaster during Pony Boy. In the middle of the tune we hear this massive flanged jet engine sound roaring through the house and monitors. We all look at each other. Apparently the singer had accidentally bumped some sort of effect button. Took him about 20 seconds to figure out how to turn it off.

If you’re in the #Raleigh area this ought to be a fun event. I’ll be doing a couple duets on #dobro for it, but the usual cast of characters that do the electric stuff is pretty great, too. Lincoln Theatre 5/25/24.

Dickey Betts, cofounder of the Allman Brothers Band, died last week. In this essay for Paste, Matt Mitchell remembers his work on "Eat a Peach" and "Brothers and Sisters." "I contend that, between February 1972 and August 1973, there was no greater rocker walking among us than Dickey Betts," Mitchell writes. "Most musicians would kill to write 'Blue Sky,' 'Jessica' and 'Ramblin’ Man' over the course of a long career; Betts did it in just 16 months’ time, a creative peak few musicians of his caliber, genre and longevity have ever paralleled."

RIP #DickeyBetts. In remembrance, I will be putting my pickup selector in the middle position for the next four weeks.
