This is just 2 Dam funny----->Original members Gregg Allman, Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks now are joined by Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes on guitars, Oteil Burbidge on bass, and percussionist Marc QuiƱones. But with the band comprising only one Allman and the father and son Trucks - shouldn't they be the Trucks Family Band now? Okay, probably not, but Derek Trucks is the finest musician in the group at this point. He plays with a style that owes much to Duane Allman, and while he and Haynes play many of Duane's licks verbatim, Derek Trucks is able to expand and expound on that template. His playing even took my mind off of how the fans' Dead-style twirly dancing involves a lot of side-to-side motion and constant bumping into people, especially me! Can't these boogiers be polite like punks and just jump straight up and down? But, I digress.
