Derek Trucks Joins JJ Grey On New Album And In Fishing Boat; Nails First Take Of Slide Guitar Solo

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Guest guitarist Derek Trucks joins swampy, funky roots rock artist JJ Grey on "Lullaby," a highlight of the new album 'Georgia Warhorse,' nailing his performance on the first take. Trucks says, "I think JJ knows what he wants to do. He's definitely developed his own sound, his own style. It's just that ability to take all of those songs you hear and grow up with and put it into your voice and your sound. I think he does that as good as anybody."

Grey says, "He's a one take person. It sounded like the greatest take of all time. He insisted we do two, three more takes but we used the first take. It was just awesome. To me, he's in the category of Louis Armstrong."

Trucks admires Grey's abilities as a writer as well, saying, "It's a real skill to be able to take your life and what you do and just put it to music where it actually translates, where you can trace those threads back. I enjoy that about JJ's music."

After the session, the two collaborated on another southern pastime: fishing. "I've been getting him into surfing now too," says JJ with a smile.

Grey's new album 'Georgia Warhorse' comes out August 24 on Alligator. His previous album 'Orange Blossoms' hit No 4 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
