Free Music Notes for Songlines
Free Music Review: Magic in a bottle
Hit: 4 Stars
I knew I started to hear it in the Allman Brothers Band the last couple of years, those "tweaks" that reminisced of Duane, but now Derek Trucks emotions now come out full blast! What a feel, really magic in his bottle. Such a groove, and the Middle Eastern influences coincide so perfectly with the snarling swamp slide. This guy is the real thing, no slide guitar player comes to mind that is alive that can emote the way Trucks can. By and large the songs and music is so much more evolved, but the playing...music when done correctly can take us to a better place, and this guy does it right. Give me more!Free Music Review: check this out too
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a big fan of rootsy, acoustic rock with some jam band style, but not too much jam band style. This album is a fantastic treat that consistently delivers great music, song after song. If you enjoy this album and are looking for some similar albums then I recommend the following:
1) Beneath These Fireworks by Matt Nathanson
2) Good To Be Here by Ernest Goodlife Band
3) 1972 by Josh Rouse
Free Music Review: "Songlines" will not disappoint
Hit: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised with the entire CD - it's a very eclectic mix of bluesy rock, rythmic African flavored drumming and a bit of Indian rock thrown in for good measure and the vocals are awesome....something for everyone!Free Music Review: Superb CD
Hit: 4 Stars
New singer, tastefully played licks, mature well written (and borrowed) songs - perhaps the best CD of the first third of 2006. Highly recommended. A young artist coming into his own with a superb backing band.Free Music Review: Dissapointing at best
Hit: 3 Stars
I can say that I seem to be the only person that is dissapointed by this album. For those of you who know and love Derek Trucks you know he plays a mean guitar. How is the guitar on this most recent album you ask? I have yet to find it. The songs are good if you want to listen to a good singer and a good backup band. If your looking for sizzling guitar work, look elsewhere. If I had to describe this album in one word, that word would be: soft. I hate to say it but it is. There is not one song that really has that rockin, get up and dance feeling to it. Where are the guitar solos??? Where is the energy??? I have to say this album is NOT one of his finest as most here will say. Don't get me wrong, I love Derek Trucks. I think he is one of the best guitarists out right now, but this album doesn't really show his true talents. Sorry...
