I think the associations w/Ry, Duane,Lowell George, Sonny Landreth, etc, are inevitable as far as Derek is concerned. There's just not a lot of slide (mostly) players out there for comparisons sake, so it's limited as to who is referenced. All have a unique sound.
Nobody ever talks about guys like David Tronzo, Dave Hole, Kirby Kelley because they're just not all that well known. Tronzo's amazing, as is is Kirby Kelley. Plus, a whole slew of monsters from India. Oh yeah, and Jerry Douglas--can't leave him out.
