He was awesome then, and he's improved with age.
Would've liked to see him up there jamming with Herring, who is also a phenomenal guitarist. I know they've shared the stage a lot of times at various festivals through the years. I believe they're now semi-related; Derek's brother, Duane, is married to Herring's daughter.
He really is tremendous. I'd never really paid much attention to him until seeing him at the Magnolia Festival a few years ago, but I was stunned at how good he is.Originally posted by LesClaypool:
Jimmy Herring IS the best guitarist around today. I'll fight anyone who disagrees. He's a true beast.
