Derek Trucks joins Mark and Sam for a killer episode packed with music stories, comedy shop talk, and road war tales. They get into Derek’s insane journey from child prodigy to selling out the Beacon, life on tour with a 12-piece band, and what it’s like playing a $12 million Jerry Garcia guitar. Plus, Willie Nelson stories, Bill Hicks chaos, tearjerker movie debates, and why great art takes years to master.
They also hit recs, peeves, and bits, and close it out with a live guitar moment you don’t want to miss.
Recs:
The 400 Blows
Cinema Paradiso
Train Dreams
War Horse
