Butch Trucks Frieght Train Band - Freeway Jam  - Wheeling, WV - 08-014-16
Channel: rd350c
Date: 2016-08-17

The Butch Trucks Freight Train Band closed the festival Sunday night with a fantastic set from some of the greatest players in the industry.  Damon Fowler is an amzing guitarist and Vaylor Trucks (Butch's son and Derek's cousin) is LIGHTNING fast.  new find Heather Gillis is no slouch either, and the inimitable Bruce Katz one of the best keyboard players on the circuit today.  And then there was the rhythm section - Berry Oakley Jr on bass andthe percussion duo of Butch and Garrett Dawson, who created  a polyrhythmic stew for this whole thing to simmer along on.  I shot almost the entire set, more available at https://www.youtube.com/user/rd350c

The Heritage Music Blues Festival in Wheeling, WV continues to get better, in spite of the weather.  Kudos to Bruce Wheeler and his family for running this so very well for the past 16 years.  This year's lineup did not disappoint.
