Nobody built the Allman Brothers Band, Duane Allman willed it into existence.⁠ Dickey Betts on the driving force behind the best damn band in the land. “He was THE foremost electric slide guitar player. He was a great guitar player all the way around, but I think that’s probably what he’s most famous for than anything. And putting the band together. he did put the Allman Brothers Band together, and he’ll always be known for being the leader or the guy that made that whole thing happen. ⁠I enjoyed knowing him, being around him the whole time. I’m just glad that I got a chance to work with him.”
