This interview aired in 2023.

On this month’s Open Book, my guest is Duane Betts. Like his father, Dickey, the guitar player with the Allman Brothers Band played guitar with his father Dickey Betts for several decades before forming his own band, Great Southern, Duane Betts is a gifted guitar player. He played with his father in Great Southern for a decade. He later played with the California band Dawes before forming a band with Gregg Allman’s son Devon. They have made a couple of albums together, but for the first time this year he has released an album under his own name.
