I knew about Susan before Derek. Together they created the best band.

What I learn: - Those artists work their asses off - they don't complain - they say good things about other people

I shared this same comment in a recent video of Derek Trucks sitting in with Phish. But wanted to post again to reiterate what so many commenters have written below about Derek being a great person. Way back in 1996, I was a guitarist in a band, and we had the chance to open for a 16- or 17-year old Derek Trucks (with his band) at some tiny coffee shop in New Cumberland, PA. And let me put it this way: my band was not going to be lighting the world on fire. And that’s being kind. And of course even back then, Derek was a phenomenal talent. Clearly in another league. But this dude made a point to sit down and listen to us play and clap for our songs. At such a young age, he had already played with some of the best musicians on the planet (and now he is one). But he still took the time to listen to us and support us. That’s a kind soul right there. I’ve seen him play a dozen times since then throughout the years and am always swept away by how he makes his guitar sing. But that coffee shop in 1996 is my strongest memory of him. A class act.

When you’ve played with The Allman Brothers at 12 years old, where do you go from there? Derek could have taken a shortcut to fame as a guitar prodigy, but instead he’s chosen to be a lifelong student of music and to develop his gift (and ours 💜). Shoutout to Rick as well for a great interview.

Regardless of who they are, he's having fun with HIS music inspired by theirs. What a bright spirit this guy is! Makes you feel good just listening to him talk about things he loves... including his wife, Susan Tedeschi.

As Dickey Betts said once "it ain't a sport, we're not keeping score".

I saw Derek the first time at one of the Beacon shows in the early 2000s where he played opposite Warren Haynes (Chuck Leavell stopped in to play Jessica) was completely blown away - all the way to a couple years ago trading licks with Nels Cline, who sat in for most of a Tedeschi-Trucks' show at Red Rocks (Wilco was in town same weekend). This interview is a masterful testament to one of the greatest of all time, and where he came from - "they're all buried together..." wow, worth watching for just that moment.

Damn Rick you've really outdone yourself with this one. I've been blown away by every guest but Derek is one of the best in the world.

This is not an interview. It's tapping into a stream of musical consciousness and the source which every musician searches for in honoring all on whose shoulders they stand.

Wish I could double-like this post!

A truly brilliant musician. Wise beyond his years. Uncommon ability to express his thoughts, feelings, and observations about his music and his influences. Above all, a quality human being. The real deal. I'd love to spend an evening with him over a dram (or six) of Laphroaig and hear the stories.

I try to watch and listen intently to every video I run across that features Derek and/or Susan, or best of all, both of them together. I can honestly say that I've never seen another video with Derek so animated, visibly happy, and wide open to taking the conversation in any direction it just flowed into in this vid. He and Susan are so NOT pretentious, or competitive in their playing. Everything with them is about going wherever the music takes them when playing, or wherever it just naturally flows to when doing sit-down interviews, and how willing he is to give so completely of himself and the "Inside Baseball" narratives sharing info that most people have no idea how much depth people of his musical prowess simply have to possess to bring the listening audience along with him so that we feel as much as is humanly possible like we were there the night the Colonel died on-stage, or how much he really thought about the ABB family and on and on and on, while never boring the audience to tears or getting bored himself and just going through the motions. The dude just took us on a ride that only he and a handful of other people in the world know about from such a personal perspective. I want to thank Derek for even doing this interview. It was one of the funnest times I've watched/listened to an entire relatively long interview where I wasn't tempted at least once or twice to bail before it was over, or skip a segment here and there or whatever. I sat here watching and listening straight through from beginning to end and had so much fun and smiled so intensely that I would've still been listening if it lasted 2, 3, 4 or even 5 times as long as it did. My only regret is that I can only like it once. It deserves more than that in my case anyway, and I seriously doubt I'm the only one who felt as strongly about it as I do. Well, gotta git. Time to take my mutt out for his last unloading of the day and night. Y'all take care and I hope all y'all enjoyed that at least half as much as I did, 'cause if at half-way, it should still make for a great way to end a day. Peace Out, Blues

With his experience and knowledge of the music industry, the way he is able to dig deep into the technical side of what makes the artist they are. From how they compose, what keys they use to breaking down songs and identifying elements, discussing how they came to be on a technical level. You can tell with this interview and also with sting that they appreciate and enjoy every second, not having to answer basic cliche questions that have been asked 100x before. And also for the viewer, gaining valuable insight. He should conduct all music interviews.

Amazing guitarist, passionate, joyful, humble… And the nicest guy ever. I’ve been watching him since he started opening for the Allman’s… then playing with them… then his solo stuff… then with Susan. So many of my favorite moments at concerts have had Derek on the stage. From tripping my balls off the first time in public at a Bros show where he opened at like 13 years old, to transcendental moments of Greg, Derek and Warren that make atheism impossible, to feeling the first drops of a passing storm on my face listening to Susan and Derek covering Rain as a tribute to Greg just days after he passed. His music and the music scene he’s spent his whole life immersed in have been one of the miracles in my life for sure.

Derek is an utterly awesome musician and human being, and such a well thought-through, sensitive, revealing interview Rick, thank you.

I could listen to Derek trucks talk and play guitar all day. Humble, respectful and without a doubt one of the best guitarists ive ever heard. I saw him play with Clapton, Doyle Bramhall and Robert Cray and he blew them all away. His feel and slide play is unreal

Without any "blowing smoke", this was the best, most enjoyable interview I think I've ever seen. Rick, you're a breath of fresh air as an interviewer. You were enjoying Derek's stories as much as I was. Never Once did you interrupt him. I also enjoyed it because in a round about way I felt close to him. In 1969, my band "Skunk Junction" opened for the Allman Bros. Band, and hung out with them before the show in St Petersburg, FL. I sat across from Derek's Uncle Butch as we sat in a circle and passed around a couple of joints and talked Music. Derek was so personable that I almost felt like he was in that circle, if makes any sense. Anyway, Thank You for a very enjoyable visit with Butch's Nephew.

I love when Derek says, “and that’s part of how you can hear around corners”…… Such a smart, cerebral line

"...Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery...Derek Bailey!!!!!" That moment is SO epic. Fantastic interview Rick. Derek is the real deal and then some.

A truly remarkable interview! Compelling conversation in a relaxed setting that gives me an even greater appreciation for Derek's approach to making music - and Rick's skills as an interviewer.

Best of all, he knows music from a deeply reverent and respectful point of view. The best musicians I’ve ever met are just like him, deeply talented and profoundly humble.

I have been going to concerts since I'm 12. I have never heard a guitar solo that brought me to tears until I heard Derek Trucks play live.

What a great guy. Part of American Music Royalty.

As a drummer, it is so awesome to hear that Derek is a fan of Elvin Jones, perhaps the most innovative drummer of all time!

This is special.Derrick brings The Allman Brothers good vibes into the future.

Derek is such a solid guy. I truly appreciate getting to know this about him. The music was always up there; Now it has more value to me. Awesome interview Rick. You help make people shine.

The holiest guitarist of our times. Thank you so much this one Rick! 🙏🏼😭🙏🏼

Rick asks good, short questions and then gets out of the way. That’s a good interviewer.

I watched this for a second time this evening. Had a smile on my face the entire time as Derek talked and told his stories. As a music couple, Derek and Susan are truly something special! Kudos to Rick for his listening skills. Watching the 2023 Japan Tour on KZread, which is beyond outstanding. Derek talking about the COVID times and how much time the band worked together; am sure the new tour is reflective of those times. First good thing, I have heard, that has come out of COVID!!!

Rick, I didn’t think your previous interviews could be beaten but what do I know? Just a great guy and an interviewers dream. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

So fun to listen to! My goodness!

Rick didn't have to work very hard with this interview. Derek has so much to share, apart from being a fabulous musician he's a walking history book of American music.

Watched them in the UK , only live performance that year. My first encounter. Life changing. Awesome people.

Can’t believe I just found this guy, I know absolutely NOTHING yet and I can’t wait to get to know him. I just came across an old shirt of John Mayer and Derek playing together and the first phrases of his and was blown away! So unique and I could tell he understood the blues in a whole other way, sounded like an open channel like Stevie Ray. Also seen him and BB King in a clip, bout it so far but off the bat I already know there’s something special because I notice a bunch of people are playing in the style of Derek or do covers, he’s inspiring people to play and that’s a rare thing.

This is by far the best Derek Trucks interview I've heard or read, what a pleasure to hear him talk in this super relaxed and musical setting. Thank you Rick, and I hope you take his word and visit their studio soon, maybe it could be a good way to show your audience how bands recorded in the old days vs nows. Best wishes from Chile.

Rick you've outdone yourself yet again, seeing the enthusiasm the two of you have for music is beyond inspiring, I'm reaching for my guitar now :)

Derek is a gift married to a national treasure!

What a pleasant surprise to hear Derek mention D'Gary as one of his favorite guitar players. D'Gary's percussionist is Mario, equally as incredible on the katsa as D'Gary on the guitar. I'll never forget that Atlanta house concert, seeing folks' reactions as they heard this mind-blowing duo. I was D'Gary's tour manager at the time.

Epic match up of world class musician/artist with world class interviewer (and Musician with a capital M)!! We’ll all be listening to this one more than once.

I see Derek trucks i press "Like". I saw him live 2 times now. First time in my home country of Macedonia, a long time ago. He performed as a small 3 person blues band. Played in a very small club there and i had no idea who he was. I just randomly went there, no expectations... boy was that an amazing performance. the guitar was literally singing. Been a massive fan ever since.

I’m less than three minutes in... this man is very intelligent

I've seen TTB at least 10 times by now and it never gets old. They always do something you will not expect. A few tours back they opened a show with Bitches Brew. Just incredible musicians.

“Derek trucks is my favorite guitarist and the best guitarist alive right now.” -Trey Anastasio That’s all you need to know. This guy is absolutely on another level

I have been playing seems like all my life. I've listened to a lot of great recordings. Seen a lot of great live bands. But this is the only man to take a solo during a live performance and actually Make me cry. This one Solo a moment in time. Touch my heart. So deeply I couldn't hold back tears. If that's not the meaning of soulful playing.I don't know what it is. I'm going to be 65 this year and may not have much time left. But I'll never forget that solo. And the joy that touched my heart.

GREAT music can do this. My dad and I both have been known to tear up when it's just too moving to handle.

Great interview. I like how he mentioned Ali Akbar Khan as one of his influences alongside all slide legends, jazz musicians. I can totally agree why he was influenced as Sarod is slide instrument without frets with sympathetic strings. It has real unique sound. You are doing incredible work by interviewing such talented musicians, Rick. 👏👏

I recently learned of Derek by accident, I have been a music fan since the 50s. Music is such an endless treasure. Thank you. Gerald.

Derek and Rick passing out massive amounts of homework! FANTASTIC Interview!!!! This is going to have to be re-watched a couple more times! Very rarely (if not never) do I NOT get goosebumps listening to Derek play! All body hair at attention!!! Just WOW! Rick, you really need to interview Susan too! God, I love those two - Derek and Susan! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of the greatest guitarists of his generation. I'm very glad you were able to get him on!

I love seeing Rick sitting there like a child on Christmas with a big smile, sitting across from a beautiful artist like Derek

Great interview, just makes me love Derek even more. I was not sure that was possible but he truly is a gem of a human being.
