The Derek Trucks Band is a band started by slide guitarist prodigy, Derek Trucks, who began playing guitar and touring with The Allman Brothers Band, as early as eleven years old. Raised partly on tour with them throughout his youth, meeting and playing with famous musicians, Trucks was still unsure about his own future. He resolved to start his own band while still an adolescent. What first began as a side project, and a way for Trucks to explore his own creativity, has evolved into an eclectic band with some of the most talented musicians from the southeastern United States. Loosely based in his home town of Jacksonville, Florida since 1994-1995, since his mid-teens, the band has drawn upon the wide variety of the influences and tastes of its current band members, and has gained fame for playing blues, southern rock, jazz, indian classical, and a fusion of world music.
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Derek Trucks took up the guitar at age 9, and it was quickly apparent that he was a child prodigy. He was playing with a band and touring within two years. His early repertoire was heavily blues-based, obviously inspired by The Allman Brothers Band, of which his uncle, drummer Butch Trucks, is a founding member. Older bluesmen like Howlin’ Wolf, jazz musicians Miles Davis, Sun Ra, John Coltrane, Charlie Christian and later Wayne Shorter and many others, became an influence for Trucks a few years later.

This guy's certainly an amazing guitarist, but he plays way too many notes, and often they're unpleasant, annoying sounds...he's kinda spastic...not all of his music, but a lot of it, especially the earlier stuff. I think his music would definitely benefit from a slower tempo...as it is, it's hardly ever relaxing...a similar problem I have with John McLaughlin. Don't get me wrong though, he's definitely a great musician and worth listening to. But I can't handle his music for more than like a half an hour.

My local station referred to Derek Trucks as a "new guitar god." Somebody needs a history lesson because Derek Trucks has been around for 20 years. He just hadn't been noticed by the sheeple of the mainstream radio crowd till 2007.

His laid back demeamor and smooth playing style contrast to the purely intense feeling of 'down in your gut blues' you get when hearing this band. Not only great to listen to they're fantastic to watch. The only thing better is seeing them live on stage.
