Betts had huge boots to fill immediately after Duane Allman was killed. He did it admirably and with great musical skill. Brothers and Sisters was very good album and really launched the band into something more than a southern rock/blues jam band that primarily appealed to other musicians- in particular, guitarists - and a select sector of blues fans. Betts’ solo album Highway Call (1974) focussed on his Country Swing influences and remains to this day an overlooked gem. Certainly one of my all time favourite albums from the era.
R.I.P.
