One of the best Chris, I sent John the CD of that record, he didn't have one, it was on Polydor and incorrectly titled 'Hank Picked', John signed my copy as well which I cherish. What a great record through and through!

Really good album, I recall buying it the week it was released - anything to do with the Allman Brothers!

| I am not familiar with Dickey but I definitely know who John Hughey is. That was a wonderful recording by everyone. |

Been listening to Dickey Betts since the ABB, but I never knew of or heard this. Dammit! Now, I have to find the entire album. Had no idea of his interest of this type of music. 
Thanks for the heads up Chris. |

Jerry, I assume you have the Dickey Betts and Great Southern albums, which I like a lot, the album 'Richard Betts' by Dicky has some of the best steel on it by John Hughey, my Buddy bought it when it first came out in the 70's.

| Yes Craig. I do have the Great Southern LPs. I guess I skipped these other recordings somehow. |

John Hughey just nails it on that whole album. Bought that back in the mid 70's and it was a huge inspiration to me.

Purchased the LP upon release. Subsequently purchased the 8-track tape (to play in my car), the cassette tape (to play in my truck), and on CD a decade or two later. A timeless classic. Hand Picked is almost as good as it gets. |
