Dickey Betts, whose country-inflected songwriting and blazing, lyrical guitar work opposite Duane Allman in the Allman Brothers Band helped define the Southern rock genre of the ‘60s and ‘70s, died Thursday in Osprey, Fla. He was 80.

He and Duane Allman created some of the greatest music I have ever heard.
A great songwriter, singer, and awesome guitar player. It always amazed me how he could jam and improvise so effortlessly. In all the shows I saw him he always played his butt off for the fans. RIP.
Nope, it was today. He stopped playing about a year before I started to really follow football, so all I knew him from announcers referencing him and my thinking what a cool name Roman was.
