Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks have been a powerhouse duo for blues music ever since they both joined up with the Allman Brothers Band. Haynes and Trucks have both moved on to pursue their own bands and careers, but I found a very cool video featuring the duo playing the classic Elmore James blues song, “The Sky Is Crying.” Haynes voice seems like it was meant to sing the blues and Trucks is featured for his awesome blues slide guitar playing. The band kills it in this video and I think you’re really going to enjoy it.
Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks have been recorded playing together many times and it’s a good thing because the duo plays very well together. They front the Allman Brothers Band in this video performance of the classic Elmore James blues song, “The Sky Is Crying.” Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr_9yt4hsHg&feature=related.

I hope you enjoyed this performance of the classic blues standard, “The Sky Is Crying.” Haynes and Trucks put their own twist on the song and are backed by an awesome version of the Allman Brothers Band. Recordings like these are awesome and should be treasured.
Thanks,
Griff

Hate to come close to blaspheming, but I think Duane would have been a bit blown over by his band mate’s nephew!
