This month's issue of Rolling Stone features a list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, as voted by a panel of top guitarists and music writers. Derek Trucks made the list, this time landing at #16, just one slot behind the great Freddy King. Many thanks to all the writers and musicians who chose to include Derek, who once again is the youngest guitarist on the list by a wide margin.

Woo Hoo!
Who knows what the RS criteria is for rating these guys is? To put the likes of BB King, Chuck Berry, Pete Townsend (great strummer) and Keith Richards ahead of DT, and totally omit guys like Jimmy Herring is hard to fathom. If it's based on pure guitar talent, how can DT not be in the top 3? While it's a tribute to DT's talent that he's #16, I challenge them to explain why there are so many lesser talents rated higher. RS is a total joke. The only thing they have on Derek is age. Hard to figure.
