Free Music Notes for Live at the Georgia Theatre
Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
This double live cd shows DTB at their finest. The band's singer, the recently added Mike Mattison, has a great voice and fits in perfectly, but the focus of the band is still on Trucks's amazing slide work. He is truly unlike any other player out there right now. This is a band that's not afraid to be creative and as a result they've done things that are truly unique. This album is an incredible bargain because it contains many new and unheard songs that you won't find on any DTB studio albums. Highlights are "Volunteered Slavery" "Feel So Bad" "Joyful Noise" and "So Close, So Far Away", but all of the songs and improvisations are played with great energy and passion. Amazing music.

Free Music Review: Keep track of this young man
Hit: 5 Stars
Derek Trucks is a remarkable, emerging improviser. He, with the support of a solid, capable band, is interpreting songs in a soulful, heart-felt way, delivering music with a distinctive sound and feel.
Watch him play, and you'll see a young man peacefully focused on reaching into the music. He doesn't waste an ounce of energy on posturing, wincing, or going through the choreographed paces too often seen in many of his contemporaries.
Reminiscent of the great East West era Paul Butterfield Band, featuring Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, this group, driven by Truck's passionate guitar, has updated the 60's to full-blown turn of the century fusion.
Get it, but don't get ripped off by people pretending it's a hard to find import. Go to the source - hittinthenote dot com - and pay the players.
Free Music Review: ESSENTIAL for fans
Hit: 5 Stars
For fans of Trucks and The Allman Brothers this live recording needs no more recommendation, it is a great show and recording; familiar songs but done with enough variation to keep it interesting.
For the casual listener there is alot to recommend here as well. A killer tight (but loose) band playing their eclectic mix of southern rock-funk-jazz-blues with passion and playful virtuosity. There is no mistaking this band's sound, the funky groove and sinuous slide. This may not be a recording for all moods (Truck's tends to sound like he's working a large power tool when he gets warmed up), but it is great for what it is. (Look online at the Hittinthenote website to order more cheaply and easily)
Free Music Review: Great CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I Went to this show, and I recorded it with a little hand held tape recorder. Of course, it sounded terrible, but at least I could hear it again. Now I got it on cd, and it sounds great! I've seen Derek Trucks 6 times over the past 10 years, and this is the best I've ever heard them play. This cd is a must have!
Watchout for the import, it only has one disk, and half of the show!
Also if you are having trouble finding it, try the Derek Trucks web site, you can get it there!
Free Music Review: Excellent live album from the DTB
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent live album and their first album featuring Mike Mattison on lead vocals. Mike has a powerful voice which is a great complement to Derek's frenetic slide playing. Derek is one of these rare musicians who sounds as great on stage as he does in the studio. Buy it and enjoy!
