CD Reviews

Dickey Betts And GREAT Southern

The Footpath Cowboy | Kingston, NY United States | 01/01/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This remastered CD combines the two albums Dickey Betts released in 1977 and 1978, during the Allman Brothers Band's first split, with his own band, Great Southern (note the emphasis on "Great" in the title of this review). These albums show that, contrary to what a lot of critics said at the time, Betts was still at the top of his game on these albums, which, despite a few areas that drag a bit, are a great example to show that Betts was just as important to the Allmans' success as Gregg, Duane, and Berry Oakley. Moreover, the sound quality on this remastered two-fer is warm and thick, making you feel like you're in the room where the record was being made. Betts' advocacy of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist gives "You Can Have Her (I Don't Want Her)" the feel of a diss against a woman who insists on a romantic vacation in Bali, and makes DICKEY BETTS & GREAT SOUTHERN/ATLANTA'S BURNING DOWN an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience."

Freakin Amazing!

"This my friends is some of the greatest music ever recorded. Run Gypsy Run, Bougainvillea, and Atlanta's Burning Down are masterpieces. You Can Have her, I Don't Want Her is amazing. This music is great and down to earth. You'll be hard pressed to find anything better."
