I always thought Butch would be the band member to write the definitive insider book on the band. Sadly that did not happen.

RIP Brother Butch. You are missed.

Butch Trucks' house

Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else before, but I'm doing some research on Allman Brothers related sites and I'd really like to pin down Butch Trucks' house in Jacksonville where Gregg Allman first played with the band in 1969. The sources say this was in the Arlington neighborhood but I'd love to get a street address.

Rose Hill

Just saw photos on Facebook; apparently Butch is now resting with his brothers at Rose Hill. Can anyone more savvy than I am post photos please? Thank you

Butch and Dickey

I never quite understood Butch's hostility toward Dickey. I'm sure there were issues, but Butch didn't seem to appreciate the outsized role Dickey had in the Allman Brothers Band. Dickey carried the band for about 20 years and regardless of how things turned out, there would have been no ABB after Duane passed had it not been for Dickey. Dickey and Duane's guitar work, Gregg's soulful/bluesy vocalizations, and Dickey and Gregg's songwriting defined the ABB sound. I love the two drummers, but Butch could have easily been replaced without missing a beat (no pun intended).

ABB Members and Family in Macon Last Night

Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Jimmy Herring and Former Allman Brothers Band Members Play Butch Trucks Memorial in Macon all photos by Kirk West Last night, an all-star cast of musicians came together to honor the memory of late Allman Brothers Band founding drummer Butch Trucks, who passed away last month, at a private memorial ceremony at the Cox Capitol Theatre in Macon, GA. The night featured many speakers drawn from Trucks’ family and musical collaborators, plus performances from some of the drummer’s former bandmates like Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Jimmy Herring, Oteil Burbridge, Jaimoe and more, playing ABB classics in tribute to Trucks. Trucks’ son and bandmate in The Freight Train Band, Vaylor, handled the host duties for the memorial, and other speakers included Haynes, Burbridge, photographer and archivist Kirk West, booking agent Jonny Podell, tour manager Willie Perkins, Trucks’ goddaughter Kendall Deflin, Dana Dowd, daughter of producer and engineer Tom Dowd and several Trucks family members like his wife Melinda, daughters Elise and Melody and sons Vaylor and Seth. The closing remarks were given by Trucks’ longtime ABB rhythmic foil Jaimoe. As for the musical portion of the evening, the musicians formed a few different collaborations, kicked off with the biggest reunion of Allman Brothers members since the band’s final shows in 2014, as Haynes, Trucks, Burbridge, Jaimoe and Marc Quiñones came together with Trucks’ nephew and Widespread Panic drummer Duane and Trucks’ Les Brers bandmate Bruce Katz. The collective ran through ABB staples “Statesboro Blues” and “Ain’t Wasting Time No More.” Next up was Les Brers, a post-ABB group of band veterans that played with Trucks in recent years. Jaimoe, Quiñones, Burbridge, Katz and Lamar Wlliams Jr. son of ABB bassist Lamar Williams, played with former ABB guitarists Jack Pearson and Jimmy Herring, presenting the Allmans’ “Dreams.” Later, Jaimoe, Quiñones and Burbridge teamed up with Susan Tedeschi, Gregg Allman Band member Peter Levin and Jimmy Hall, who played with Trucks in the supergroup Betts, Hall, Leavell and Trucks in the ’80s. The group delivered a poignant cover of Albert King’s “As the Years Go Passing By.” Butch’s Freight Train Band then rounded out the night of memories and music. See photos from the event above and below, courtesy of Kirk West. Setlist, band and speaker information as reported by Allman Brothers biographer Alan Paul.

Butch Trucks was MASSIVE INFLUENCE!

TurkE — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 17:46:26 +0000

Thank-You Butch for the awesome influence you have had on my drumming career, as a youngster I was instantly connected to the Allman Brothers Music as my band performed and pursued emulating most all of the Allman Brothers musical concepts. Listening intently to my parts laid down by both Jaimo & Butch I realized Butch was laying down the base of the rhythm section (Yes, Like freight train a rollin). Hence a major influence on enhancing my style and improving the success of my long career, I know there is a gig waiting for you as you travel on Butch, I have to believe you and Duane and Barry are laying down the magic again! I will never forget and will always admire your style and your commitment to insisting on LIVE MUSIC!...............Your works will live on forever in my music and my soul, Thank You and Happy Trails!
