Electric
guitar hero Derek Trucks expertly revives the spirit of the
early Allman Brothers sound with the sixth album from The Derek Trucks
Band, Already Free. Recording in his Jacksonville
Florida studio, Trucks lays down a set of smokin bluesy rock
originals and covers including a lead off take of Bob Dylans
Down In The Flood, from the Bobs famous Basement Tapes
album. Close nephew of founding Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch
Trucks, Derek Trucks is a bona fide new millennium cross of Clapton
and King while professing a legacy towards early Allman Brothers albums
that the Trucks name added and continues to add to. With a solid groove
all its own, Already Free is a suitable mix of well recorded
Southern style countrified blues-rock. With a fine band, including
singer Mike Mattison (sounding here a lot like Greg Allman),
the CD also features guest shots from Doyle Bramhall II and
Trucks wife, guitarist Susan Tedeschi. Trucks was superb
at Eric Claptons recent Crossroads concerts and Already Free
lives up to Claptons noteworthy vision of Trucks as the
second coming of Duane Allman. www.DerekTrucksBand.com |
