@johnmitchel1958 he is a derivative meaning somebody before him played slide but nothing else, the execution of the sounds the subtleties the vocal quality of what he plays makes him one of the most original players in the history. nobody made guitar sound like that yet.
i would go as far to say he's at least as innovative as hendrix only he wont probably be as big a star cause this music is not as popular in general as it was then
@jackcame2 I second that. Great rendition. @johnmitchel1958 Watch the Songlines DVD though, I promise Derek will light a fire under your ass and send chills down your spine.
I'm in love with Susan. Who wouldn't be? A voice and an inflection for the ages. Derek? He and Johnny Winter on stage at the same time isn't safe for mortals.
@johnmitchel1958 Check out "Midnight in Harlem" at the 2010 Crossroads festival by the Derek Trucks/Susan Tedeschi band (beautiful upload available on youtube). If Derek still leaves you cold, you may just be dead and not know it (but I really hope you like it!)
@colemanthesoulman The only problem with that is the physical amount of EPIC onstage would disrupt the Space Time Continum and Michael J. Fox would roll up in a Dolorian wondering when the fuck he is and why we don't have WiFi connections on our eyelids yet.

@jackcame2 Derek is technically great...but he leaves me cold a lot. I'm not sure what it is. I think because he's
not original-he's derivative.
