My dad took my brothers & I to see Dickey Betts when we were young… he would play at a venue on the Boardwalk in Ocean NJ… couldnt truly appreciate it until i was grown… but i can’t thank him enough… we are a very musical family so i was just happy to see live music that everyone seem really excited about… especially my old man. I cherish those memories… RIP Dickey, a true American Guitar Legend…

I used to work 3rd shift with my mom at Columbia Bicycle and we rode together and every morning coming home Rambling man would be on the radio and me and my mom would sing along watching the sun come up. Well, she passed away 6 years ago and every time I hear that song I remember those days. I miss mom and now Dickey. Thanks for the great memories, Dickey Betts!

Rest in peace Mr. Betts. Thank you a lifetime of pure soulful music. I was fortunate enough to meet you and let you know what an inspiration you were to me and millions of other guitar players. He was as humble as you could be. IMO he never got the recognition he deserved. His contribution to music with his country flavored blues and the twin guitar harmonies is immeasurable. R.I.P.

RIP Dickie! Your music echoes from my college years and beyond. Truly heavenly.

I’d argue Butch and Jaimoe were the backbone. There was no other drum sound like that in any popular music back then. Those guys often get overlooked because of the obvious talents up front, but there is no one on earth who can play like Butch Trucks. Him and Jaimoe together is every bit as important to the ABB sound as Duane and Dickey were.
