thanks for posting the link, very interesting read. Have been digging deeper into his playing lately, esp with the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Great stuff.

...seeing him play in an early/mid-'80s beach Top-40 cover band was mindblowing & an education I won't forget.

Have you heard the early ARU records? OB & Jeff Sipe...wow. Check out "Time Is Free" (from the live album).

OK...how about "Instrumental Illness" from Hittin' the Note (+ the live version on One Way Out)?

[dhsierra1]

have probably heard that one, I sub in for an ABB tribute band so the guys are throwing the newer (as in post-Berry/Lamar) material at me and it's like trying to drink from a fire hydrant Sure like what I'm hearing, though, Derek and Warren are amazing together.

Wow! Finally got around to reading this interview a week later. A great read, lots of insight into Oteil and some deep stuff in general to ponder. Highly recommended.
