Derek Trucks

I have seen Derek in a number of DVD's and finally decided to try some of his own cd's. I picked up Derek Trucks Band "Songlines", this cd is fantastic, I keep playing it over and over. Guitar, flute and vocals kick. Another great cd I purchased recently that is also great is Jason Isbell(formerly in Drive by Truckers) "Sirens of the Ditch".
It's hard to find cd's like these two that from the 1st listen, just grab you.
Any rec's for other titles from Derek or Jason that are must haves?

Derek as been as full member of the Allman Brothers Band since 1998, in addition to having his own Derek Trucks Band. As much as I enjoy hearing Warren and Derek playing together in the Allman Brothers Band, if you really want to hear what Derek can do, you need to see him in the Derek Trucks Band. Couple of his CDs that haven't been mentioned but are excellent are "Joyful Noise" and "Soul Serenade"

Forgot to mention this project involving both Derek Trucks and his wife, Susan Tedeschi.

Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival.

If they come around your "neck of the woods", definely worth checking out.

Derek really is amazing. Been an Allmans fan since Duane. Saw him 5 or 6 years ago right after Dickie seemed to disappear and though, ok. Saw him on the Clapton DVD and though, wow!

I have Live at Georgia Theatre, great music!

I think I heard a couple suggestions for "Live at Georgia Theater", I will pick that one up this week-end. I probably will end up playing it all week-end, if it is anyway near as good as "Songlines"
I didn't see any comments about Jason Isbell, this cd is also very listenable.
