I bought this product to see where Derek's path had taken him with his music. His original mentor Duane Alman was the greatest slide guitar player to date. Duane's ability to rock out or change up and make the most beautiful tones to ever come from a guitar still gives me goose bumps to this day!!! Aint waistin no more time...one way out and blue skys will mesmerize anyone with his abilities and Derek has shown these same abilities in "Midnite in Harlem" with his wife Susan Tedeski !! Songlines is a good album with good music and I recomend it to anyone.

This CD grows on you, but not slowly. Fast, like kudzu. Songlines is the best album I've listened to in many years. I haven't listened to their recent release Already Free, but if it is anywhere near as good as Songlines it is a great album. Most of Songlines is hard to classify, Sahib Teri Bandi, my favorite at first, is Pakistani. The next tune, Chevrolet, is Mississippi blues. My favorite at this time, I Wish I Knew, sounds like gospel. Mike Mattison's vocals are awesome. this is the most uplifting song since Mountain Jam. When this song comes on, you'll turn the volume knob clockwise. This Sky is a beautiful song. Its a little soft for most men's taste at first, but after hearing it a time or too, everyone will be won over by the beauty of this song. There are no weak songs on this album. The Derek Trucks Band is a great band. Songlines is a great album. All those years of playing to small crowds at small clubs have paid off.Read full review
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Derek Trucks? The guy is an ace guitarist and has a wonderful understanding of all things music. His career started out in the early 90's down in South Florida and I was lucky enough to catch many of his very first shows. There he was, a tiny little boy putting veterans to shame with his scorching relentless slide guitar work. It was not unusual to see people staring at him with their mouths open in disbelief - and I was one of them!! haha ! In any event...he is amazing, his band is amazing, the cd is amazing...so buy it!!!
Very nice cd

I have been a fan of Derek Trucks a long time and am not disappointed by this latest effort. The first two cuts are good hard driving stuff that Derek and his band are so good at. Overall, this is my favorite album from him so far.
