Customer Reviews

****1/2 stars - great album from the new electric slide ace
This is a very cool collection of world-music influenced rock, with the masterful electric slide guitar of Derek Trucks to the fore. Although Trucks is only about 25, he already has around six albums to his name, and now plays the 'Duane' role in the newly-resurgent Allman Brothers Band. This collection features a few originals (I'll Find My Way, This Sky) alongside thoughtful versions of classics from a range of genres (check out Roland Kirk's Volunteered Slavery, and my own favourite I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free (best known to British audiences in the take by Ramsey Lewis, featured as the theme music to the BBC's film review programme). I'm only giving it four and a half stars as I'm sure there's an absolute classic from Derek Trucks somewhere around the corner...

A sound all of its own
This was my introduction to Derek Trucks, from the opening bars you know you are listening to something different, fresh, interesting and technicaly masterfull. Beautifully recorded this CD has a real, you just gotta listen sound that drags you in and you soon find your hooked, cant wait to hear more.

EXCELLENCE
THE SONGLINES ALBUM IS AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO THE SKILL AND DIVERSITY OF THIS FINE YOUNG GUITARIST, SINCE IT ARRIVED FROM AMAZON, IT HAS VIRTUALLY LIVED IN MY CAR CD PLAYER, AND ALSO DOMINATED MY MP3 PLAYER. FRIENDS I'VE PLAYED SONGLINES TO, HAVE ALSO GONE ON TO BUY OTHER ALBUMS OF HIS, CULMINATING IN THE SURPRISE OF FINDING THE GROUP WERE PLAYING IN BIRMINGHAM, ONE OF ONLY THREE GIGS IN THE U.K. AND WHAT AN AWESOME NIGHT IT WAS TOO... I'VE JUST ORDERED ANOTHER OF HIS BACK CATALOGUE......
