Free Music Review: A World At His Fingers
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best recordings I've heard in many years. It is most definitely NOT a blues album. I am a blues lover, first and foremost, and although there are blues-oriented tunes on the record--Crow Jane and Chevrolet being phenomenally innovative examples--the music here moves way, way beyond the blues framework and into the great beyond. Trucks is a truly great and gifted musician and his inventiveness and restless creative spirit are evident throughout. Mike Mattison is a singing superstar, or at least he should be; guys with his prodigious talent and voice do not come around too often.
You will hear African, Caribbean, reggae, roots blues and R&B influences thoughout this incredible recording, all tied together with some of the most lyrical and soulful slide playing you will ever hear. Duane Allman is proudly smiling down on us from heaven. Derek might be only about 25 or 30, but he plays way beyond his years.
The Trucks band will help you reach nirvana yourself. If this was on vinyl, I'd be on my second or third copy, I've played it so much. Just amazing.
Songlines Poster
Just in his mid-twenties when this album was released in early 2006, the guitar tone of Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks (nephew of founding drummer Butch) has become one of the most recognizable sounds to be squeezed out of the instrument. Snake-like, swampy, and filled with tense soul, his slide work has been compared to Ry Cooder's, and perhaps inevitably, to Duane Allman's. On his first album of new studio material in four years, Trucks steers his malleable band through a heady blend of jazz, Jamaican, gospel, blues, and world music, occasionally even combining styles in a single track. Any disc that covers deep soul man O.V. Wright, Pakistani music legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and reggae journeyman Toots Hibbert can't help but swim in eclectic waters. But Trucks pulls it all together with a sure sense of flow and arrangements that never let the tunes descend into free fall.Soul singer and newest band member Mike Mattison acquits himself admirably, bringing a tough gospel edge to "I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free)," an airy, ethereal quality to the floating "This Sky," and gruff spirit to the original rocker "Revolution." Although there are plenty of solos, Trucks's structured approach never lets the tunes sink into aimless jams, navigating his lines around the verses rather than vice versa. As classy and controlled as his rather stoic stage presence, Songlines confirms Derek Trucks's status as one of music's most innovative, fearless and affecting guitar players, regardless of age. --Hal HorowitzBlues Music CDs
