The Derek Trucks Band has released a new double-disc, Live At Georgia Theatre, which chronicles a two-hour-plus show from Oct. 23, 2003. This album not available in stores.
Starting June 3, the Columbia Records release will be available on the iTunes Music Store and through the band’s web site, www.derektrucksband.com. Fans that order before June 15 will receive an autographed copy. After June 15, the album can be found on other online music providers.
Live At Georgia Theatre marks the first record with the band’s newest member, vocalist Mike Mattison.
