PopMattersBy tapping into the limitless well of America’s musical traditions, Trucks has brought forth one of 2009’s first true gems and his best effort to date.
-
Trucks' bluesy playing is excellent throughout, though he knows when to cede space to vocalist Mike Mattison or guest Doyle Bramhall II.
-
The material is stellar.
-
This album is his best yet with his own band, a potent dose of rock and R&B instead of the lighter jazz and world music of past efforts.
-
Derek Trucks Band has produced its most commercially viable CD to date.
-
UncutMike Mattison's gritty lead vocals are fully functional, but it's Trucks' consistently mesmerising guitar and dobro that draw the ear. [Feb 2009, p.99]
-
Derek Trucks could very well be the best guitarist of his generation, and his sixth studio disc is his band's most accessible blues-rock set to date.
