Well, everybody's gotta suffer for all the things you choose
You say, I need you sweetie, but I ain't got the nerve
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Don't know if they told ya, in the year that I come from
They were talkin' 'bout a revolution, talking about Vietnam
Well, you can't quite remember, baby ain't you heard?
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Sooner or later, some kind of savior
Is gonna come down through the roof
Do me a favor, let me off easy when you do
I don't need no doctor, I don't need no truth
I'm goin' to California, baby I'm bulletproof
Just a strange believer, runnin' on the word
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Get what you deserve
You are correct on all accounts. Mike Mattison is the lead singer here. After the bands merged, not so much -- and I miss his bluesy growl. Ms Tedeschi doesn't have that, and Mr Trucks never sings. Ever.
Seen them three times in Atlanta, and they certainly do bring the joy!
Swine means him who has all kinds oh Theeth./ der vollständig bezahnte.
Indeed!

The savior of R n R! Someone who knows how to play guitar!
Derek and his wife (Susan D) are freakin great but they don't enough.
Maybe it's in the genes.
Susan T for Tedeschi. There was a hilarious instance when they were guest on a BB King show and he introduced them as Mr & Mrs Tedeschi!
Everybody in my church loves this song...

Just to provide a potential alternative interpretation: In southern coastal states, "shag" is a form of swing dance associated with beach music (a la Temptations, etc). However, I don't associate this tune with beach music. At all.
We be shagging... love this song...

This guys makes it look so easy and he's a very unassuming.
Hey RP, you are on a groove....keep it up.
More than a bit to my ear.

Yes, well said... love this song...
Whoa romeo, that's a little more than I'd like to know.

Oops sorry (see below). You beat me to it!

Isn't this awesome? Love it!

Everybody in my hotel room loves this song...
'Cause you're a moron.
Incredible... love it...
We be dancing... love it...

New Shag music? :)
Hey romeo, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I haven't heard the next generation of an Allman Brothers type band yet. This might be OK but it is not it.

why they still endlessly piss me off??
Maybe you just keep forgetting to take your meds?

Sure-sure!
Wait 50 years and the 60's are back!
How old are you? Over 80...?
This sounds nothing like bluegrass or folk to me. You ever been to Arkansas? They got some damn fine pickers. Try the Mountain View Folk Festival if you ever get over your hatred for fine Americana music.
I love fine music - all kinds, incl. "Americana" (tzzz...)
What I do not like is freaks with a beard pretending the
Sixtees are to arrive soon!
DEREK's FUCK BAND - I repeat myself!
why they still endlessly piss me off??
hate this side of American music!

To each his own... I know I'm in the minority, so all you fans out there... enjoy.
I'll be enjoying "The Derek Trucks Band" a whole lot more than this...
In the future, this song will be a classic... now, it is awesome...

I would like your grandpa - you I am not so sure about.
LOL, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Don't feel strange— those are normal feelings... and you are correct— I love this song...
Grandpa's music.
Speak for yourself, buddy. I love this stuff and social security's a long way off. Good music has no age limit! Doesn't mean you have to like it, but it also doesn't mean you can't like it.
...and plays music as if her were 75!
HILLBILLY-ROCK!
ARKANSAS MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS BULL...
hate this side of American music!
Well played, certainly, but...
sooooooo out-of-time!
Please allow me to kick your sorry ass, Stingray. I love you, in my way - but there are times (like this one) when I seriously think you need to get back on your medication. I mean, really - if you like being considered a troll, that's your business, but I wonder if your care-giver would be equally understanding.
And by the way - chewing through those leather restraints will damage your teeth, and you'll need them for gritting next time you hear a Derek Trucks song. Just sayin'...

What an apropos follow-up to an Allman Brothers song... love it...
Excellent!
Such profound lyrics with such great music... this is a song that will last forever... love it...
Absolutely awesome... we're on a roll... love it...
Did you drop your baby at the bottom of the blues?

The message sounds a bit like Retribution Theology to me. I'll try to keep my feet off my soapbox (I can go on a bit), but it's kind of a trigger for me. That whole "My Name is Earl" white-bread version of karma (a misapplied word) where you get what's coming to you in this life is a load of crap. I can prove it any way you like it. Rationally, emotionally, theologically — or if you're the fire-breathing type I can do it with scripture. If you're not Christian, pick a scripture, and I'll prove it with that one. You don't have to take my word for it though. Google it.
Some philosophers, many great thinkers, have asserted this as the proof for heaven, or for reincarnation (like with actual Karma).
Me, I dunno about that. Seems like a solution looking for a problem.
There's an awful lot of truth in what you say, but...dude, it's just a blues belter along the lines of, "What goes 'round, comes 'round." Try to relax, okay?

I get what I deserve when I hear this fantastic song... love it...
This is such a great song... love it more every time I hear it...

Yeah, this is a great song, both musically and philosophically...


love it...
Man, i totally agree... eargasmic, quite simply...
I hear you... this song rocks!
Merry Christmas Bill and everyone.
Got this CD and another of DTB for Christmas. The band and Derek in particular absolutely rock. Great to hear some real roots music coming from this generation.
Man, it really is a surprise how good this song is...

Yes, this is fantastic...
Nice transition from the mighty Zep also - Bill Rocks!
Merry Christmas Bill and everyone.
awesome...

Man, it really is a surprise how good this song is...

This really is a cool song...

Yah, it's a bit generic but he is a good player.

The point is taken by this most excellent song following an Allman Brothers song— quite a connection for Derek Trucks...
This song is soooo good for the external auditory meatus...
Nice post Fred, I couldn't agree more. I take it the Nottingham jury is a jury of 1, but I always picture the jury as a bunch of middle aged codgers with powdered wigs and robes listening intently to the computer speakers for new tunes, adjourning to another room, and then returning to render their verdict. Is there any way to appeal to a higher court?

The image that should be in your mind is of a Eurovision-style jury, rather than "codgers" (the very cheek, young man!).
And no, there's no appeal: judge, jury and executioner, that's us :)


Go see them live and you will have a different opinion I believe :-)
I did. Wasn't impressed (with the band).

Despite his obvious skills, the rest of the band come off as generic.
