By the time Duane Betts began working on Wild & Precious Life—his triumphant debut soloalbum—he’d 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 arecord that guitar players will love, but at its core, it’s really a song record. It’s an album aboutwho I am, where I come from, and what I believe in.”Duane had spent 10 years playing guitar alongside his father, legendary Allman Brother DickeyBetts. He’d 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 thatnodded to his rootswhile simultaneously pushing ahead. Following his instincts, Duane assembled JohnnyStachela, Berry Duane Oakley, John Ginty and Tyler Greenwell, and took up an offer fromfriends Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks to record at their SwampRaga Studio inJacksonville. The album was cut to 2-inch analog tape during a series of live studio performances in 2022.
