This is cool - us guys should submit something here!

Ends March 19 though.

-------
The dTb is extending the invitation to you with an opportunity to collaborate on the track “Get What You Deserve” from Already Free. Derek and the band have made the four instrument parts available to the Indaba community. “Sit-in” by replacing an existing instrument part, add an entirely new instrument part, or (if you’re so inclined) you can even remix the song!

Whether you play a screaming guitar duel with Derek, round out the song with a bass line, or add a new beat, The Derek Trucks Band wants to hear what you can bring to the jam! Get involved now and win some amazing gear from Epiphone, Sweetwater, and Shure, along with a chance to meet the dTb backstage at a show!

It's definitely an interesting concept and a cool thing for Derek and company to do. Even if you don't submit a track, it's not that often you get the chance to take a recording like this apart and play with it. Definitely opens up some cool possibilities.

BTW, I have the new Derek Trucks Band album and I love it.

There's a great and very thorough interview with Derek currently up at All About Jazz as well: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=31943
