Recently, we asked fans to submit their ideas for the name of The Derek Trucks Band’s upcoming live album. You delivered, with hundreds of suggestions, and now we’re thrilled to announce that a fan’s submission has been chosen as the title of dTb’s new live album!
Before we get to the big reveal… We want to thank BlueGuy84 for his winning submission. In a strange cosmic coincidence, DerekTrucks.com user BlueGuy84 came up with the same name that dTb bassist Todd Smallie did for the album title, on the same week no less. Clearly it was meant to be. Unfortunately we’ve been unable to get in touch with this user to let him know that his suggestion has been chosen. However, credit is due to both BlueGuy84 and Todd Smallie for coming up with the title.
So with a tip of the cap to these two men, get ready for The Derek Trucks Band – Roadsongs.
Roadsongs is a live double album, compiled from two spectacular dTb shows in April at Chicago’s Park West. On both nights, the band was joined by a stellar horn section – Paul Garrett (Trumpet), Mace Hibbard (Saxophone), and Kevin Hyde (Trombone) – you’ll hear them loud and clear on Roadsongs. You’ll also hear some classic dTb arrangements on an official live release for the first time, including a scorching take on Allen Toussaint’s “Get Out My Life Woman,” and an awe-inspiring, 14-minute run through “Afro Blue,” a song popularized by John Coltrane.
We’ll have much more information on Roadsongs in the coming weeks, including the full track listing, album artwork and release date. Stay tuned to DerekTrucks.com for all the latest, and thanks to all the fans for helping Roadsongs become a reality!

It's a must-read for any baseball fan and any Derek fan, as Gammons is truly one of the best writers - sports or otherwise - in the business today.
