DEREK TRUCKS – Running In The Family (by Darren Howells)
Derek Trucks life/career reads like a fantasy for most music fans/musicians… as a child part of your family happens to be THE most significant American white Blues/rock band of all-time (The Allman Brothers), you pick up a guitar at nine to find yourself gigging within a year, by the time you’re twelve you’ve shared a stage with Buddy Guy, before you’re twenty you’ve played with Bob Dylan, you then become a member of the band you idolised as a kid (you guessed it, The Allman Brothers), whilst also playing in one of the most critically lauded bands of recent years (The Derek Trucks Band), you are regularly talked about as one of the greatest guitarists of your generation and… wait for it… better than all that… you’re married to Susan Tedeschi! Let’s meet the man who is living that dream! (This interview includes questions submitted on our forum by magazine readers/site users Jules Fothergill, Colin Johnston and Alex Stone)
“I feel that bands playing honest music for the right reasons is a dying art. If we can keep inspired and growing musically we can do this for a long time. Music can be a very powerful force in peoples lives and we try to turn our crowd on to certain styles of music that we feel have a lot to offer.”
