Duane BettsBy the time Duane Betts began working on Wild his triumphant debut solo album hed already spent the better part of two decades creating his own version of guitar-slinging, story-driven American rock & roll.It felt like the right time to make something that was entirely my own vision, he says. This is a record that guitar players will love, but at its core, its really a song record. Its an album about who I am, where I come from, and what I believe in.Duane had spent 10 years playing guitar alongside his father, legendary Allman Brother Dickey Betts. Hed release an EP, Sketches of American Music and co-found Allman Betts Band.Even so, the need to create a full-length solo LP gnawed at him; one that nodded to his roots while simultaneously pushing ahead. Following his instincts, Duane assembled Johnny Stachela, Berry Duane Oakley, John Ginty and Tyler Greenwell, and took up an offer from friends Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks to record at their Swamp Raga Studio in Jacksonville. The album was cut to 2-inch analog tape during a series of live studio performances in 2022.----CordovasA band with one foot in the present and another in the past, Cordovas embrace the sound of classic Americana and country-rock, with The Band, Grateful Dead, and The Allman Brothers as key influences.The group is led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Joe Firstman, who recorded as a solo artist for Atlantic Records and led the house band on NBC Late Night before forming Cordovas in 2011, and lead guitarist Lucca Soria who joined the band in 2016.Cordovas new full-length record, produced by Cory Hanson (Wand), will be released in summer 2023 on ATO Records.
