On Thursday I talk to guitar wizard Derek Trucks about being a child guitar wizard and evolving into a virtuoso as opposed to a novelty act and about all his mentors along the way.
With Maron, this could be great or it could be a train wreck. It just depends on if Maron wants to be an interviewer, fanboy (which I have never heard him talk about Derek before, so likely not that option) or amateur psychologist.

LeglizHemp is Marc Maron? Mind blown.
LOL 😛
Great news. I love Maron's stand-up and his IFC show, and the podcasts that I have heard have been very good. Derek is an articulate and honest interviewee, so I see something good coming here.

Around half way through this and while I'm usually a fan of Maron's interview style, this has been a fun interview. Everyone should check it out.
Great story about a piece of advice that Gregg gave him early on.

First time listener, makes this cube life a little better.
The newest episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast features a lengthy conversation with Tedeschi Trucks Band guitar master Derek Trucks, who sits down with Maron to discuss a wide range of topics, including his experience as a young kid growing up in Florida in the musical circles of The Allman Brothers Band, which included his uncle Butch Trucks and for whom the younger Trucks would play guitar later in life.
The conversation starts off in Jacksonville, FL, the hometown of both Trucks and the Allmans, but which now, Maron notes, is known more as Lynyrd Skynyrd country. Trucks says that band is a bit misunderstood: “They wrote some great tunes, no doubt about it, but when you put them up against Duane [Allman] and Berry [Oakley] and the exploratory stuff, it was a different order of being…For me, usually it comes down to ‘What was your intention?,’ but sometimes it’s beyond that—like, ‘What is the wake you left behind you?’...I think people glommed onto the wrong part of their music and message.”
The discussion also included Trucks memories growing up around the Allmans, specifically his relationship with slide master and Trucks guitar mentor Duane. Trucks also mentions his meeting of music legends like John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Junior Wells, Col. Bruce Hampton and the members of The Band, along with his more recent joining of ABB and playing with them up until 2014.

I am maybe 15 minutes in and it is absolutely fascinating.
It is very fascinating.
I lived in Jacksonville for 30+ years and was there when Derek was a kid, saw him many times as a kid.
Some real gems in this interview:
Derek: "there's this guy named Col. Bruce Hampton....."
Great RedDog and Gregg story near the end.

Fascinating stuff. I didn't know about Derek as a session guy. It was great that they gave some love to Peter Green.
Maron's always talking about Peter Green.
This was a good listen
