@Matt Thanks for posting!

After all this years!!
Silent Running is my favourite so far of the new album.

[Matt]

I love that that one as well.

Doesn’t get much better than this…

I know it's been overplayed, but sometimes you just need some classic goodness...

[Jett129]

As a drummer,hearing the way that Bonham played drums on this song,couldn't possibly have blown me away any more than it did.

[goosehd]

There are bands that I can listen to for weeks on end...Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are two of them.

[Jett129]

@goosehd I'm with you 100% on Zeppelin,but I feel as if I've totally over listened to Pink Floyd. Used to really like a band called Blue Floyd. They did southern rock interpretations of Pink Floyd songs.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 Thank you!! New band to rabbit hole…

[goosehd]

You guys keep bringing up Derek Trucks…so I present Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks

[goosehd]

Just a little bit older now with Warren and Derek playing some Allman Brothers…

[goosehd]

…and full circle. Allman Brothers. You’ve got to love the history of music and all of these guys.

[Jett129]

@goosehd I’m a huge fan of The Brothers and especially Derek Trucks. My accountant works for the company that does the bookkeeping for the ABB and he would always get me tickets(Not for free),but they’d be first 10 rows. I’ve seen them countless times and have a pretty great live tape collection from the shows. The solo in that song was off the charts.

I'll stick around this Allmans family tree for a minute.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is good, but I really miss Derek Trucks Band. Yonrico Scott, their amazing drummer, and Kofi Burbridge, their amazing flutist/keyboardist/brother of bass great Otiel Burbridge, have prematurely and tragically died since the band broke up and was partially merged with Tedeschi's band to form Tedeschi Trucks Band, but they were so adventurous and free, playing all sorts of genres, from classical Indian to blues to jazz to funk. Tedeschi Trucks Band by comparison stays in their blues rock/R&B lane, and while entertaining, is just not as interesting IMO.

Here is DTB covering "Freddie's Dead" by Curtis Mayfield from the legendary soundtrack to "Superfly." Mike Mattison, their vocalist, does an amazing job paying tribute to Curtis' falsetto. He's been relegated to backing vocals in Tedeschi Trucks, with an occasional lead thrown his way. Seems like a waste of a helluva vocalist.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey As much as I like Derek Trucks,and as much as I enjoyed it whenever Susan Tedechi would jam with the Brothers,I flat out,for the life of me,can’t get into the DTB. Probably because I’ve never been fan of horn sections in rock bands.

[goosehd]

For me, I went the Gov’t Mule side and love listening to Haynes. I will listen to Tedeschi on occasion, but just can’t get into them like I can with the Allman Brothers or Mule.

[Jett129]

@goosehd My all time favorite Mule show is one New Years Eve when Robbie Krieger joined them and they did a tribute to the Doors. I wasn’t there. Pretty sure it’s on YouTube.

[goosehd]

Haynes is so extremely talented and I love that he has put his own spin on Hendrix, Pink Floyd, the Doors, and the Allman Brothers. I know I’m missing bands, but those are the ones that resonate with me.

His solo stuff is pretty good too.

You guys posting all these great slide players…had to add a little Ry Cooder

[SeruRitchi]

I saw these two multi-intrumentalists playing live in the impressive Gigspanner Big Band at the English Folk Dance & Song Society last week.

Hannah Martin surprised me by singing one song (Estren) in Kernewek, the Brittonic language of Cornwall in south west England.

Phillip Henry is a very talented player of many types of slide guitar, as well as beatbox harmonica and various other instruments.
