Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Not sure who it was but the guitar player on the jam at the end of Colbert's first CBS show had a Jag shirt on!!!

 

 

Saw that too, his name is Derek Trucks. I don't listen to him, but apparently he's supposed to be one of the better guitarists around.

Yeah. He's been playing in Jacksonville since he was 10 years old. He is fantastic.

He's been one of the best guitar players around for alot of years now. Pretty famous in jam-band and hippie circles.

Season ticket holder. His uncle Butch was drummer and founding member for the Allman Brothers. He also bought the mixing board used to record the Kinks classic albums and put it in his Jacksonville studio for personal use.

Another bit of trivia is the young boy on the cover of the Allman Brother's album Brothers and Sisters is Derek Truck's son, Derek's cousin, Vaylor.

 



 

Derek Trucks was named to Rolling Stones list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, deservedly so.

That's because... Jaguars rock! Amirite?

"Derek Truck's son, Derek's cousin, Vaylor"... Huh? I'm confused...

Butch's son is what I think he meant.

Okay...that makes sense!

I think RJ was "rolling" a bit too much when he penned that particular post.

...  where musicians actually still play instruments !!!  :thumbsup:<strong> </strong>

He's played with Clapton, Stevie Ray...you name it. His wife Susan, who is no slouch either was on the show as well.

I've seen both at Jag games.

He's ranked one of the best guitarists in the world.

Watching jam, and seeing him rockin a Jag shirt was classic.

Derek Trucks was once quoted as saying his inspiration is 60% Duane Allman, 40% Elmore James.

This is no commentary on Derek's ability, because he can certainly play, but the only thing sillier than a list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time is a list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time compiled by Rolling Stone magazine.
