Flipboard Culture DeskDickey 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."<a href="https://flip.it/WQkHSQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/WQkHSQ</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DickeyBetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DickeyBetts</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/AllmanBrothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllmanBrothers</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RIP</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/InMemoriam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InMemoriam</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Essay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Essay</a>
