Dick Allen
The LinkPage of TEXAS Musician DICK ALLEN .
DICK ALLEN has been a friend of mine since the early 80's when I met him while playing some classic Country shows in Texas. I was playing with Roy Head and Dick would usually be closing the shows . His normal band wouldn't make all the shows so I got a chance to play with him [usually with Johnny Bush's or Dean Scott's band].These shows had too many artists to name here but included Johnny Gimble , B.J.Thomas , Johnny Bush, the Gatlin Brothers , Willie , etc . many of which I got to play with but it was DICK ALLEN who really taught me how to play Country and Blues. I started working with him fulltime 10 years later including one 'house' job in Houston that lasted almost 5 years.
Here are 3 songs of Dick Allen [ flash files ]. If you can't hear them use the MP3 files on the Discography Page .
