how can so much guitar talent be at the same place and at the same time? The Allman Bros. Band was the gift that just keeps on giving...
eta...and when I say gift, I also mean giving us white guys who can sing the blues with as much soul as most black blues or soul singers. It's surreal.
@strummingram get over here and try to convince me I'm wrong by providing some example that tops this in the respect I'm talking about. If there's anything better I want to hear it.

I would love to see a biography that reveals how he became a guitar savant instead of a drum one, influenced as he was by the geniuses around him....Derek Trucks from the ground up. But I also don't want to give Warren Haynes short shrift, to me he is equally amazing.
The Allman Brothers racked up a lot of talent during their run. The original was the best.
Chuck Leavell, the Toler Brothers, Allen Woody, Lamar Williams, Warren, Derek, Jimmy Herring.
one of my employees played a little guitar, and he and I went to see Trucks and Tedeschi one night. He said beforehand that Derek was the best slide guitar ever and I said no way he was better than Duane. But my God did Derek tear it up. I don't judge mostly by technical ability like many do, I want to hear that ability make good music; and as good as Derek is, I can't put him quite at the top with Duane Allman.
As badly as I feel cheated out of music never made by the untimely deaths of so many, none cheated me as bad as I felt cheated with the loss of Duane Allman But Derek is who he is and that is one hellofa musician who I could listen to forever. Putting him together with Warren Haynes is the stuff of dreams.
Duane was only 24, I think. I read somewhere recently that there is very little video footage of Duane Allman given how much recorded material there is with his playing.
Derek takes it to another level... like a human voice. Derek has the benefit of a much longer life.
I don’t have Bluetooth capability in one of my trucks - my Ram 1500. It’s a 2009 but still an absolute hoss so no need to upgrade. I usually just do the radio and find a classic rock or country station and leave it. But I recently came across a suitcase of CDs I’ve had for years. And for the past few weeks, I’ve been switching CDs out like it’s 1998. Carrying a whole stack around in the truck.
Anyway,…I came across an album that will possibly change your life. I’ve been killing it in the truck for about a week now. I can’t describe how good it is. So I’m offering it up to you all here. You can thank me later. Even if you’re not a rap fan or a jazz fan, I recommend you give the full album a listen.
