WHEELSONFIRE65's Profile

About me: Just met Devon Allman for first time last weekend, spoke a fair amount throughout weekend with him as he was very much out there to meet people during breaks and after the shows - very engaging young man. Devon and Honeytribe opened for Dickey Betts, with Pedro Arevalo (Dickey's bass player - one of the best musicians I've seen in a while and key to Dickey Betts' current success) joining Devon on slide guitar for the opening acts. Nice to see some small history and fence mending being made as Devon invited Duane Betts (Dickey's son) onstage for Midnight Rider during Honeytribe's opening act on the second of two nights at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut on June 22, 2008. Dickey returned the favor by inviting Devon Allman onstage later to play guitar and sing lead on One Way Out. Devon Allman is a real gem, striking similarity to father Gregg in looks, but a much better vocalist (my opinion, Devon's voice is beautiful - a little like Stevie Winwood, a bit like his dad Gregg, a little like Robert Cray) and his guitar playing is top notch - far better than Derek Trucks or Duane Betts, again, my opinion, but I have been playing guitar for 35 plus years and listening with a keen ear for as long. I have been watching and listening in person to all of these guys associated with the old Allman Brothers band for years. What a complete pleasure to see and hear Devon Allman - finally a pleasant surprise from this bunch. GO SEE HIM!!
