    Default Derek Trucks does the Cissy Strut

    Looking for a version of this song for our band. I Like John Mayer's, and this is an interesting take on the Meters' classic, too.

    It's a nice version for sure. Tonally it reminds me a lot of Scofield's version (which is not a bad thing to be reminded of). Still, nothing beats the original for me. No band I've ever heard is quite as tight as the Meters and Leo's playing on that song is superb.

    Have fun with it Helliott. It's a fun song to play. I play it all the time.

    Gotta love Derek Trucks & gotta love the Cissy Strut.

    Very nice thanks!

    I'm with RoG on this, great version but I prefer the Meters.
