I had the opportunity to catch a show of Derek and Susan’s new(ish) band a couples weeks ago and even though I already was a fan of both and knew of their tremendous talent, I was flat out blow away by them! The talent this guy has on the slide (and traditional playing too of course) is leaps ahead of other IMO. Her signing was great; tight band. Awesome show. I bought their CD when it was released last year (so it got lots of play time) - you guys should check it out. It has a real cool, melow, mixed vibe of different styles, so a bit for everyone. www.derekandsusan.net/ Right now most of the show dates are with no other that B. B. King, so if you have the chance to go, I’d highly recommend it. www.derekandsusan.net/events Cheers B

LOVE Susan and Derek and all their music both individually and together, but his slide work is other-worldly!! He is unique out there right now and has created a tone and sound all his own - that is rare these days.
Nice post Ben! ;D

All the guys in the band are excellent ... bass ... drums ... and that horn section. Really exciting live for sure. Derek's playing and Susan's singing to boot.
