DVD Reviews of The Derek Trucks Band - Songlines Live!DVD Review: The Derek Trucks Band "Songlines Live" Summary: 5 StarsThis is an outstanding concert that was filmed at The Park West in Chicago on January 28, 2006. The music is very "soulful", "jazzy", "smooth", "jam-oriented", and "spontaneous and improvised" at times. The band is very talented and work very well together as musicians.
The line-up consists of: Derek Trucks on lead guitar(he plays excellent guitar work including slide guitar play), Todd Smallie on bass and vocals, Yonrico Scott on drums and percussion and vocals, Kofi Burbridge on keyboards, flute and vocals, Mike Mattison on Lead Vocals( He is an outstanding vocalist- his vocals flow along with the music just perfect),
and Count M'Butu on congas and percussion. The Band works together "like a well oiled Machnine".
The set list consists of 20 songs (about 2 hours of music), some highlights include: "Joyful Noise", "Key to the Highway", "I'd rather be blind, crippled and crazy", "All I Do", "Sailing On", "Soul Serenade", "For my Brother", "Let's Go Get Stoned", "Voices Inside", and "Anyday".
The encore consists of two more songs. If you like "smooth","jam-oriented", "improvised" "bluey-jazzy" music with excellent lead guitar work, you'll enjoy this one. I highly recommend this concert dvd.
DVD Review: Trucks is Great Summary: 4 StarsExcellent dvd
Trucks is masterful
Disappointed that "This Sky" is not in the show.
DVD Review: The Derek Trucks Band Summary: 4 StarsMusically, this man is way beyond his years. He has pulled together and maintained an excellent band. After watching the DVD keep it playing for some fine listening
DVD Review: Good. Summary: 4 StarsThese guys are all extremely talented and impressive. That is the first thing that stands out. The second thing is their ability to combine very diverse styles. Third is their unique way of combining multiple styles. Also in there is the surprise at Mike Mattison's ability to sing with completely different voices and styles and have complete conviction on each. I'm primarily a guitar fan and Derek Trucks is one of the few newer guitarists who can really deliver and connect with music in a passionate way. This is a good DVD and definitely a great price, but even with all of that, I just expected a little more from it. It could be me, but I just didn't connect with the music as much as I thought I would and I found myself skipping ahead 4 or 5 times. I love long instrumental jams and this has plenty of that and as I said earlier, when Mike steps up to sing, he really delivers, but I enjoyed their stuff on Crossroads 2007 far more. They just seemed to have a higher energy and dynamic there. I like hard rock, blues, some jazz, 70's era fusion (Jeff Beck, Al Dimeola, John McLaughlin etc), older Funk and R & B grooves and I like things mixed up in extended jams, so I did find this DVD to be enjoyable because these guys mix some of those and other styles in their own way, but some of the other influences seemed to lower the pulse of some of the jams. Jam bands put certain genres as the jam's musical core and bring the other stuff into it and I think that the core style is key to how well I connect with it. I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars at best .... Worth the money if you just love honest, live music and watching excellent musicians show what they're capable of.
DVD Review: A Great Show Summary: 5 StarsJust great music and entertainment. This band is in excellent form
right from the start and never slows down. Trucks is a true prodigy who
is at his finest here. A must have for anyone who likes to watch
live music DVD's.
