Radio DTB

Usually, by this time of the week, you’ve got a fresh new episode of Radio DTB to listen to. Unfortunately, this week’s episode is delayed — largely due to the fact that I’ve been out seeing the Derek Trucks Band live. I’ve got the episode scripted, I just need to sit down and record it. Hopefully I do that tonight. Again, I apologize for the delay.

In happier news, I’m excited to announce that Radio DTB was mentioned in the most recent episode (#8) of the GoRadio Podcast, a podcast designed to go hand-in-hand with GoTriad magazine. I think it’s even cooler to have been mentioned in their podcast because GoTriad is the local weekly entertainment magazine for where I live. In addition to the mention of Radio DTB, you should definitely check out the most recent GoRadio Podcast for the discussion of Derek Trucks and how he and Susan balance the demands of a tour-heavy lifestyle with raising a couple of kids.

Radio DTB #004 (13.8 MB, 30 min) is now available.

This edition of Radio DTB is by request — Mark Johnson asked to hear some of the Derek Trucks Band’s early work and suggested that I listen to the March 2, 1996 concert from the White Rabbit in Austin, TX. I’m not as familiar with the early years of the DTB as I am with the recent material, so I jumped at the excuse to broaden my horizons. I was not disappointed — this concert was almost 2 hours of high-energy, rocking fun. I had a difficult time narrowing down the selection to the 30 minute format of Radio DTB, and in the end I decided that we’ll feature this concert over the course of two episodes. This week, Radio DTB features Travelin’ South, Cissy Strut, and The World Is A Ghetto. I was unable to find any information about the taper who taped and transferred this show, so if you have any information about who did that, please let me know so that I can give them the proper credit.

As always, we love feedback here at Radio DTB. If you’ve got a question or a request, please leave a comment on the website or send me an email. Additionally, you can phone in your comments and requests by leaving voice mail at 206-984-9487.

Normally, I try to get the Radio DTB podcasts up before I go to bed Sunday night, so that they’re available for everyone to listen to on Monday morning. This week has been a tough one for me, and as a result, the production of the podcast has slipped. Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish it today and put it up before going to bed tonight, so it’ll be here when you wake up in the morning.

Sneak peak: We’ll be visiting the January 2005 shows at the Ram’s Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD and focusing on some of the newer tunes that the band has been playing lately.

Both of these shows can be downloaded in their entirety from the Live Music Archive: November 20, 2004 and December 1, 2000.

Special thanks to Shahrum Amiri for providing the voice for the intro and to Kjelene Bertran for providing the voice for the outro for this edition of Radio DTB. I apologize in advance for the quality of my commentary. I was battling a pretty nasty cold when I recorded this show, so I was a bit off my game.
