Duane Betts releases “Stare at the Sun” featuring Derek Trucks

Duane Betts has released a new single called “Stare at the Sun” featuring Derek Trucks. The track’s title comes from something Trucks said about Duane’s father Dickey Betts’ guitar playing. “He’s a player that’s not afraid to stare directly at the sun,” said Trucks.

The song is featured on Betts’ debut full-length solo album, Wild & Precious Life, out July 14th. The album was recorded at Trucks and Susan Tedeschi’s studio in Florida. The album also features guest appearances from Marcus King and Nicki Bluhm.
