@ Commander Wallace re Allman brothers, Live at the Fillmore East
There's a record I played a lot. It's interesting that a number of band members relatives have followed in their fathers' and uncles' footsteps. Devon Allman, Gregg's son and Duane Betts, Dickie's son are both accomplished guitarists. Devon has played with the Allman Bros. Band and Duane with his fathers' band Dickey Betts & Great Southern. The most well known Allman offspring though is Derek Trucks who is drummer Butch Trucks' nephew. An accomplished slide guitarist much influenced by Duane Allmans' playing he too was a member of the long running Allman Bros. band. His own band The Derek Trucks Band won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2010. His current band, The Tedeschi Trucks Band also won a Grammy in 2012. The bands lead singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi is Dereks' wife. They have a son and a daughter.
