Ok, not sure how to classify this band but they definitely fit into the Jazz/Funk/Blues section. They have it all. Great blues, excellent jazz, world music, funk, rock, you name it, they do it. Derek Trucks is a fabulous slide and non-slide player and each member of the band is just as good as he is on their own respective instruments. I saw Derek along side Eric Clapton during Clapton's 2006 tour and I'm seeing the Derek Trucks Band in May which I can't wait for. I also just got their Songlines dvd which is easily one of the best concert dvds out there. Derek breaks two strings during it but it doesn't stop the guitar playing. So, anyone have any opinions on Derek Trucks or the Derek Trucks Band?
