Derek Trucks on Tedeschi Trucks Band, the Allman Brothers and More: Exclusive Interview
By Jed Gottlieb November 30, 2016 8:55 AM
Gregg Allman has talked about the Allman Brothers getting together for dates in 2017. How far along are those talks?
Well, I get those group texts every once and while. (Laughs.) But I don’t know how far down the road they are looking. I do know how far down the road I am. I’ve moved on.
So there’s no possibility of you being part of anything in 2017?
Not for me. I’m fully moved on.
Sounds like your calendar with Tedeschi Trucks Band will keep you busy for a while. I guess it would be hard to juggle both bands at once.
My calendar will keep me busy. But it’s not even the calendar. I feel like we went out on the right note, and if anything is being put together, it’s probably not to enhance the legacy. It might be more pocket-driven, and I’m not interested in that. There’s enough cynicism in the world, and I’m not going to contribute to it.
Great interview.

Exactly Derek. And hope Warren contines to feel the same way as well.

Preach, Derek! 
Enjoyed that, thanks for posting.
Derek is always an interesting interviewee - thoughtful, positive, articulate, with a great sense of conviction. He sure is clear in what he says!
