Free Music Notes for Soul Serenade
Free Music Review: A minor disappointment
Hit: 3 Stars
Since I quit smoking dope, I have lost my enthusiasm for long drawn-out jam sessions. If you like Phish, Dave Matthews' live albums, the other albums by Blues Traveller besides "4", then this is an album for you. I "discovered" Derek Trucks as I have discovered many other modern guitar virtuosos by watching the Eric Clapton Guitar Festivals on DVD. I know he can play better songs than these, (too much good weed and magic mushrooms makes a person self indulgent). Get "Songlines" instead.Free Music Review: What A Waste of Money.....
Hit: 1 Stars
This album is one of the worst albums I've ever heard. There are some songs on here that had real potential and Derek Trucks butchered them with his psychotic slide playing (e. g. "Afro Blue," "Bock to Bock," "Oriental Folk Song," which are jazz standards now). He needs to learn how to play actual notes without the slide, because quite frankly I'll never buy anything by Derek Trucks again for the simple reason that his style isn't up to par with anyone that I like. Not to mention that he's not that mature of player anyway. He's a wild card. One minute he's playing something with substance, then he totally ruins it by playing slide.
In my opinion, the slide is an effect. That's the only reason I would use one, but Derek really needs to learn how to restrain himself and he also needs to play with his fingers, because that's where the actual beauty will come in. I can't relate to a glass slide at all, but I can relate to fingers touching the strings and that's something he hardly even did on this pathetic excuse for an album!
DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM!
