You gotta hear the new band to believe them...Warren Haynes is almost twice the guitar player when he's alongside Derek, who by Butch Trucks' own admission is already technically superior to Duane...and the intensity and imagination this young guitarist has gained in his playing in the last year alone is breathtaking...the whole band seems to have taken inspiration from their past in the last couple years and I wouldn't have believed they are as good as they are if I hadn't seen them do it before my own eyes four times in the past two years...and I've seen the original lineup, the Chuck Leavell-era (good and bad) as well as the Haynes/Woody lineup twice...don't let the past get in the way: Duane smiles down on this ABB.
