Imagine you play in three highly successful bands, tour the world non stop and are considered one of the greatest guitarists in your generation. Well, then you would be traveling in the same circles as Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. Both of them come from the south which obviously comes out in their music but each took a completely different way to get there.
Warren came up playing with artists such as David Allen Coe and Dickey Betts before joining the Allman Brothers in 1989. In my opinion the Allmans wouldn’t be anywhere near where they are today without Warren’s presence. Derek came from more of a jazz and fusion background. Even though his uncle Butch is the drummer in the Allman Brothers, his solo band rarely covers similar territory.
Below is two masters doing what they do best, sitting around with a few acoustic guitars and playing some blues.
This comes as a bonus feature in their DVD The Allman Brothers Band – Live at the Beacon Theatre
