Brother Duane said that music was supposed to make people feel good...to make them want to move their feet and dance. Miles Davis spoke of the "space' between notes being more important than the notes themselves. John Coltrane's music spoke to a "Love Supreme". BB King can play one note and make you cry. At no time in my lifetime have I encountered a musician who embodied it all. The physical, the emotional, the spiritual....it's all there in the music that comes from Derek's heart, soul, and mind. I've played and listened to music for over 45 years, and there is only one other time that I have encountered a band that was "hittin' the note" the way the DTB is doing at this time. Derek Trucks is truly special, and so are the incredible members of his band. They are able to transcend this world and take us to a higher place through the inspiration, power, and magic of their music.
The opportunity to hear such glorious music is truly a blessing. I hope that they receive all the joy and blessings that they deserve. Thanks guys!
