Default Who are the hot young slide players?

While we were waiting for the John Haitt & Sonny Landreth show to start last night, my buddy who I went to the show with asked me that question, and I was at a loss for an answer.

So here are the rules of engagement: They can play acoustic or electric. They need to be "young," not just "hot." Derek Trucks may be an indisputably hot slide player, but at 38, he is no longer exactly young. So whoever you list needs to be younger than Derek.

That's it: who are the hot young slide players?

If you include folks from bluegrass, you have Andy Hall and Mick Witcher on resonator guitar (or dobro if you prefer). Pretty sure both are quite a bit shy of 38.
