Liked the horns. 2) Down Don't Bother Me - 1.5 - nice slide guitar work 3) Don't Miss Me - 2.0 - some nice funk goin' on here 4) Rastaman Chant - 1.0 - too long of a jam for me. never heard the rastaman. heard some of the band snoring. nice flute though 5) Key To The Highway - 2.0 - what I was waitin' for, some nice blues 6) Get Out Of My Life Woman - 1.5 - more blues, but too long and repetitious and stop that wah-wah guitar 7) Anyday - 1.0 - I actually heard keyboads Too much jam and not enough jelly for me. I guess that should have been expected with the Allmans spinoff. Week Twenty Two ............The Derek Trucks Band .............Roadsongs - gryphon - 27-06-2010 [FONT=&quot]The Derek Trucks Band .............Roadsongs[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track One [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I know……….[/FONT][FONT=&quot]I should have guessed that some of roadsongs would be live!So, we are off to a sitar like guitar solo on track one ……..Immediate impressions were those of “The Allman Brothers “ in style, vocals are prominent and listenable, the over all balance is AOR and quite pleasant . It’s a full sound guitar, drums bass , vocals and brass …………[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track Two [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Down Don’t Bother Me : [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Nice comfortable guitar based sound which is overlaid with a good vocal …..I was comfortable with the rack and enjoyed what I was hearing .[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track Three[/FONT][FONT=&quot].Don’t Miss Me: A good rocking riff stats this track: it’s nice stuff , live can be achallenge for some artist to produce a full listenable sound , but here it is not problem and the balance is pleasing too. The guitar work is excellent and the whole rack is entertaining.[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track Four[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Rastaman Chant: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Good percussive feel here at the start, moves into a nice m right groove, which is the basis for some guitar work and wind instrument work. If I’m right this owes a debt to Frère Jacque! A bit too long for me at 11 mins![/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track Five[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Key To The Highway : More Of The Same .[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track Six [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Get Out Of My Life Woman Who Knows: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]A good guitar based groove …it’s a comfortable track but again at 12 mins I think we are into self indulgence [/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Track Seven [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Anyday [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Another long track…….Its good quality but, too long at 9.27! [/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]It is a good performance from more than competent musicians but, there is no trail blazing going on here ……….. [/FONT]
