Overview
- Betts released Heartache as the opening track and second single from his upcoming album Isle of Hope, which is due June 12.
- He wrote the song with Stoll Vaughan soon after his father, Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts, died in April 2024, and he describes recording it as cathartic and unguarded.
- Director Bobbi Rich shot the video on 8mm film, blending Malibu performance scenes with family photos to create a home-movie feel.
- The album, produced by Dave Cobb in Savannah over five days, features a tight core band with J. D. Simo and Johnny Stachela and aims to give listeners a sense of refuge.
- He will tour with his Palmetto Motel band through October, including an Allman Betts Family Revival show on June 6 in Vail that carries forward the family’s musical legacy.
