I have built a Derek Trucks/Temp page with minimal information that I know. Rogerd 01:09, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've added to it. There's more to say about the band, but it's a start. I wrote a published article about the group earlier this year but used no copyrighted material in the stub. -MS

[edit] Split article

Would it not be better to have a seperate article for The Derek Trucks Band? And obviously leave this as purely an autobiographical page? Jake 10:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Autobiographical? :) I think splitting the article makes sense, but I don't think there's enough info here to make it necessary yet. –Erik Harris 05:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoops, typo ;) - Jake 81.153.41.175

Absolutely, as soon as there's enough material on the page, the band should be split from Derek's page.. wouldn't pass a peer review otherwise! --leahtwosaints (talk) 06:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Count M'Butu

Does anyone know when Count M'Butu first joined dTb? The band's website refers to him as "the mysterious sixth member of The Derek Trucks Band for the last six or more years," and mentions that he doesn't always tour with them, but has been doing so more and more frequently. His first album with the band was Joyful Noise, so it must've been some time after April 2000. –Erik Harris 05:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Guitar Gods

I noticed a comment when editing that an attempt seemed to be made to enter a photo from Rolling Stone Magazine's "Guitar Gods" issue. Why is it not placed here? I quite think that if it's acceptable for the barnstar-ranked John Mayer page, then Derek Trucks has just as much right to a photo of the cover of the magazine as well. And the page can use it, great rationales do exist! --leahtwosaints (talk) 06:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
