It's called "Already Free". That guy has some serious soul and great chops. His wife performs with him and his band and they spend over 300 days a year on the road. If you like the blues, get this album asap.

We discovered that the leader of the opening trio was a guy that also previously joined the Allman Brothers for 3 years before Derek... named Jack Pearson. His wife Elizabeth plays bass for him. I pulled him up on youtube...very jazzy/bluesy. Jack and his drummer joined Derek for 4 songs... amazing chemistry. Derek said about 10 words all night.. 2 and a half hour show for FREE. We were about 20 feet from the stage... great show .. left there and went to 'BB Kings club on 2nd street 3 blocks away. The tough part was driving home and starting back to work tomorrow. Kenny

They usually tour seperate, but cameo each others shows from time to time. They recently did a little Austin club together, mostly acoustic...very different styles but sounded great together.
