I would assume he is/was Derek Trucks father? Saw Derek perform a couple of times. Fantastic musician.

RIP Butch. You were one of the best.

Butch was Derek’s uncle. Both part of the Allman “family.” Played extensively with the Derek Trucks band and The (Susan) Tedeschi Trucks Band. Hometown Jacksonville folks. The Allmans are still one of my favorite bands. I’m old and remember when they first came on the scene. Got to see Derek play with Eric Clapton at the Jacksonville Veterans Arena a few years back. Clapton gave him a lot of play time. In my opinion Derek is as good as Clapton

Butch was Derek’s uncle, and got Derek playing with the band for a while.

Just saw Derek Trucks last month at the orpheum with the Todeschi Trucks Band.
