Duane Betts releases “Keep My Hands Clean” video

Duane Betts has released his new album, Isle of Hope, today via Sun Records, marking his first project with the label. Alongside the album release, Betts has also unveiled the official music video for the new track “Keep My Hands Clean.”

“Today is a big day,” Betts shares. “Isle of Hope is out into the world, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with y’all. I hope these songs resonate and can pull you up and into the light. Music has always been a place where we meet through our experiences in this life. I’m happy to meet you right here in the songs. Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. Thank you for believing in the music. Turn it up and enjoy the ride.”

Produced by Dave Cobb and recorded in just five days at Cobb’s studio in Savannah, Georgia, Isle of Hope arrives during a pivotal chapter in Betts’ life and career. While continuing to build momentum as a solo artist and as a founding member of The Allman Betts Band, Betts was forced to confront the loss of his father and longtime mentor, Dickey Betts. The album serves as a snapshot of that transformative period, exploring themes of time, mortality, resilience and personal growth.

In addition to Betts and Cobb, the album features Johnny Stachela (guitar), J.D. Simo (guitar), Brian Allen (bass), Philip Towns (keyboards) and Derrek Phillips (drums).

Isle of Hope follows Betts’ 2023 solo debut, Wild & Precious Life, which featured Derek Trucks, Marcus King and Nicki Bluhm.

Prior to launching his solo career, Betts co-founded The Allman Betts Band alongside Devon Allman. Since the band’s formation in 2018, they have released two studio albums, Down to the River and Bless Your Heart, while touring extensively and establishing the annual Allman Betts Family Revival. The event celebrates the music of The Allman Brothers Band and has featured guests including Jimmy Hall, Robert Randolph, Jason Isbell, Charlie Starr and Marcus King.

Betts and his band Palmetto Motel will support the album with an extensive North American tour running through January 2027. The trek includes numerous Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel headline dates, a performance by The Allman Betts Band, and select dates supporting Blackberry Smoke.
