Free Music Review: A Stunning Work of Art
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a big fan of the early Allman Brothers stuff and saw Derek perform with them a few times years ago when he was just a kid. Although he was pretty awesome even back then it seemed a bit gimmicky trotting the 13 year old out on stage. Anyway, having really not kept up with the Allmans or Derek in recent years, I was completely blown away after buying this release on a whim after reading a couple of reviews.
If you like the Allman Brothers, Santana through about 1977 with maybe a little Headhunters-era Herbie Hancock thrown in, then you will love this album! While vocalist Mike Mattison belts it out impressively on many of the tracks, the real focus here is on the musicianship. I don't know if I've ever heard slide guitar playing this good and the other band members are no slouches, either. This album is just an impressive creation and I was very moved listening to it, something I relish even more in that it was so unexpected.
Free Music Review: Derek is the MOST talented player alive... got to hear it
Hit: 5 Stars
If you have never enjoyed the music of Mr Trucks you are missing a worldly experience. I have played for 30 years, followed his carrer as a 12 year old on. To see him play with the Allman Brother's Band night after night and it's never the same, some flavor here, some sauce there, it's amazing where he is as a musician at his age. His uncle's "Brother" Duanne Allman would be so proud and I believe awestruck! Now we have the Derek Trucks Band which is a gumbo of worldly stews and the latest offering Songlines is the best yet. Buy i if you love guitar and great beats you will dig this record. Now our fair haired son of the South is on tour with Slow Hand Eric Clapton and wowing audiences nightly on that world tour. Do yourself and your soul a BIG favor jump on board this kid's music. He is the best there is. Must hear to believe, must se to really believe. RedTail WolfFree Music Review: Outstanding!

How refreshing to hear such accomplished musicians playing for the sake of music! Truly eclectic, crossing so many boundaries, Derek has introduced his fans to so many types of music- all wonderfully bound together in the Derek Trucks Band. This CD will not disappoint. Derek is, quite simply, an amazing musician, and in this release he truly highlights the talents of the entire DTB. The addition of Mike Mattison is truly a plus.
My favorite tracks are "All I Do" with the mesmerizing riff at the end, and "This Sky", but the entire CD is a pleasure. You can certainly spot the Derek guitar riffs instantly, but the entire band shines.
This one is a gem for those who love music - enjoy! I hope it receives the recognition it truly deserves.
Free Music Review: The Prodigy is coming into his own
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently read the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists from a few years back, and Trucks was on it. At 24 years old! This album showed me why. From Sailing On, Revolution, and I Wish I Knew, Trucks shows his wide spectrum and ability as a slide guitarist. His cover of Nina Simone's 'I Wish I Knew' has the gospel tone with vocalist Mike Mattison, and it's definitely my favorite song on the album. Also, his wife and great guitarist, Susan Tedeschi, appears on this album, giving it even more firepower.
He's going to be remembered as one of the greatest guitarists ever. I know that's a bold statement seeing as he's only 28. But if you don't believe me, get this album. It's worth it!
Free Music Review: eclectic, refined, and catchy as hell
Hit: 5 Stars
i've been waiting for this album for a while, and I've got to say, I'm not disappointed at all. This is what I'm talkin about DTB! Every track on here is a great listen. Songs on here range from blues, to funk, to eastern, to straight ahead rock. If you like a mean slide guitar, it's a no-brainer really, you should listen to this album. if you like a guitar that sings instead of random riffing, then you should listen to this album. right on dtb! woot!
