Derek Trucks on Layla, Trey Anastasio, Allman Brothers, and new music

Derek Trucks dropped by the Morning Joe set to talk with Joe Scarborough and Kyle Meredith about Tedeschi Trucks Band's live release Layla Revisited, doing duo shows with his wife Susan Tedeschi during the lockdown, and the multiple albums the band is currently working on.

Greatest guitar player of our time.

[@chance2929]

Yeah! Agree!! Scarborough rocks!!!

[@edmchenry3454]

No question at all! Joe's decent too!

Him and Jack Pearson set the bar for players these days

@@japanjay How STRANGE!!! I was at this very moment listening to a new trio with Jack in it and then "synchronicity" struck when you beeped in with your comment about Jack Pearson. Pearson is great. I first heard of him when he played with the Allman Brothers and then he did such fine work on Gregg Allman's album, "Searching for Simplicity". He set "Dark End of the Street" on fire. I must have played that song 1,000 times just to listen to his slide work on that song.

[@grantsmythe8625]

@@japanjay By the way, your comment is spot on about Jack and Derek setting the bar on playing. It's amazing to watch Derek as a young boy playing far and away above his age.

Tedeschi Trucks Band…Derek and Susan…are a gift. So much talent and heart…and amazing music.

A friend of mine, a big shot in the music industry, watched Derek play and said: 'He doesn't play. He is.'

Such a humble guy

Guitar God!

Derek is the greatest guitar in the world!! #RedheadTTBhead

[@elaztec.aztecca]

He’s Django, Duane, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, JJ Cale, and no offense to Warren Haynes as I’m a great fan of his too but Derek is literally a slide master, he’s the real deal, an actual Jedi, and it’s easy to see why he’s Trey Anastasio’s favorite guitarist!!!

[@avigoldstein5836]

what a great interview. i assume you all have heard the first cd in the I Am the Moon song cycle. It is great to hear Derek talk, he is so personable, which leads to the question: I have seen TTB six times, and I don't think Derek has said a word onstage. He seems shy, but on the other hand, he does such a great interview. Anyone know why he does not talk onstage?

[@dwarslaeven4035]

He does talk. He just doesn't use words.

[@dawngoldstein298]

@@dwarslaeven4035 beautifully put!

[@michaelhopping6914]

And so those three or four albums of new material turn out to be I Am the Moon. . . .

[@PaulNiehausIV]

Much respect to Derek Trucks! But huge LOL at Cold Case Joe 🤡

[@Antuan_the_Swan]

How did this nerd get Trucks on here? 😂😂

[@NJDEVILz86]

No shit....he's a lefty puppet

[@christophereu]

You guys should edit out the producer's instructions during the interview, its a little jarring.

[@bluesky6985]

He mentioned covid so I'm out

[@BAM5636]

Lol.
