Free Music Notes for Joyful NoiseFree Music Review: Derek comes into his own.... Hit: 5 Stars
Derek could stick within the frame of an Allman Brothers sound and he'd do just fine. But he takes a spirited romp through world music and comes up sounding just as comfortable exploring these different musical genres. His band is excellent ( definitely see them live at all costs) and the arrangements are fluid. He gets in enough of his tasty slide licks without overwhelming the rest of the band or the listener. A fine album from a young, talented,and humble musician whom we will undoubtedly derive a lot more enjoyment from.
Free Music Review: Diversified! Hit: 5 Stars
Trucks has a wonderful slide style. He's so smooth. This CD has a type of worldbeat quality to it. I love that stuff! The first track has such a great groove to it (you can hear that Allman Brothers influence) but then you hear Ruben Blades on Kam-mo-lay and there's a hint of Santana. However, Derek's own personal style is definitely not lost on any of the tracks. If you love slide guitar players and especially if you are a musician , you will definitely appreciate the "Joyful Noise" in The Derek Trucks Band!
Free Music Review: Impressive! Hit: 5 Stars
I am finally impressed with Derek Trucks. This is recording exhibits the signs of someone well past his years. From the bluesy "Baby, You're Right" to the Indian-inspired "Maki Madni" to the fusion-based "Lookout 31", Trucks has issued the statement that he has arrived. No longer is he a Duane Allman clone, he is on his own and this CD says it all. Not only do I recommend it, I think it should be required in all collections for guitar-officianados. It's going to be a pleasure to see what he does next!
Free Music Review: The best of what a great band can do Hit: 5 Stars
If you've heard some of the Derek Trucks Band's music, perhaps you know what to expect. That is you don't know what to expect! DTB plays rock, blues, jazz, and world music, sometimes at the same time. This album has a lot less blues than some of their others, but lots of mind-expanding jazz-rock, some world, some great R&B with Mrs. Trucks (Susan Tedeschi) and with soul legend Solomon Burke... What more could one want? There are no bad DTB albums, but this one is probably the best.
Free Music Review: Silky Smooth Hit: 5 Stars
Derek Trucks has one of the greatest guitar tones i've ever heard, and his choice of songs is perfect. This is one of my most played cds, especially the tracks with Solomon Burke. Joyful Noise, the first track, sounds like Robert Randolph. The variety of the cd keeps it fresh throughout, and Trucks' command of his guitar is phenomenal. If you like slide guitar, buy this cd right now. Also recommended for Allman Bros. fans, this guy is the next Duane
