Blue Sky (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Blue Sky" is the eighth track by the Allman Brothers Band off the Eat a Peach album.
Dickey Betts wrote this about his Native American girlfriend, Sandy "Bluesky" Wabegijig. And for a while, Betts refused to perform this after his 1975 divorce with Sandy, whom he wrote this for. Betts and Sandy Bluesky had a daughter, Jessica, on May 14, 1972. Betts wrote Jessica about her a year later.
Although Duane Allman was part of the recording of this song, he died before its release on Eat a Peach. The album is dedicated to him. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts played on the bridge solo - Duane going first followed by dickey. They switch up half way through - listen very carefully and you will hear them synch up on a riff for two measures or so right around 2:30 into the track.
This is the first time Dickey Betts sang in an Allman Brothers song.
