The whole record has a muffled, under-the-covers vibe--something to do with the claustrophobic effect of her keyboards, especially the harmonium's oxygen-depleted sound. All this gives Slide a cozy charm....

It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Jones's own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade; or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross

one of the best CDs I own.......2007-07-25

Other reviewers have gone into a lot of depth about this CD already, so I'll keep my endorsement short and to the point. The CD is fantastic and is one of the best that I own. You will never get tired of listening to this one.

Simply addictive!.......2007-07-12

This is her best album!
Her voice is unbelievable, the delivery is amazing and the lyrics are stunning!

Haunting sounds.......2007-07-06

For 3 months, my Norah Jones CDs have taken over my car stereo. This woman is very talented!

The phenom Ms Jones.......2007-06-27

This is such an outstanding production, so much better than the later(I think) CD. Miss Jones should be careful which guitar players back her up. She should stick to Bill Frizell or maybe she should try Mark Knoffler, if she can get him away from Emmy Lou.

Glad i bought it ( Part II )...!.......2007-06-20

I knew that Nora Jones was good music but i had no idea just how good...My sister-in-law bought me this CD for Father's Day...i have listened to it 3 times today. The way i would describe her lyrics and delivery is equal to "Musical Rose Petals". So smooth and so inviting is her voice. I really love the Piano work also. Her birth name being "Geethali",Nora Jones along with the likes of Michael Buble have added a nice,new,fresh selection of music to today's currently enemic sound. This album made her only the second artist ever to sweep the "Big Four" being Album,Song,Record,& Artist of the Year at the Grammy Awards in 2003. Standouts for me include: "Come Away With Me","Don't Know Why", and i really like her rendition of Hank Williams SR.'s "Cold,Cold Heart". With her throw back to Billie Holiday/Roberta Flack days voice coupled with a very welcomed piano based style, Nora Jones can take me away anytime! If you've waited to give her a listen ,as did I, do yourself a favor and don't wait any longer.

Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, the Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one--most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic--and that easy-going spirit filters into Johnson's lyrical philosophies. "What will be will be / And so it goes" he sings on "Times Like These," the opening track. Thankfully, Johnson is never too mellow, and there's a "Don't worry, be happy" vibe to most of his music. "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" even has a pseudo-reggae feel to it. Although classified as an alternative musician, the singer-songwriter's compositions owe much to past hits. "Traffic in the Sky" is reminiscent of Jim Croce's "Operator" and Looking Glass's one-hit-wonder, "Brandy." On the splendid "Taylor," Johnson sounds an awful lot like Donovan. And "By The Way" recalls the Lovin' Spoonful. -- Bill Holdship

Considering I first heard this DVD sitting in my dentist's chair having a tooth extracted, you wouldn't believe it's effect. It certainly helped take my mind off the immediate situation. Beautiful music, soothing mellow voice and a delight to hear at any time.

GREAT STUFF!.......2007-06-08

A great, laid-back, very mellow CD that can put you right on the beach,with a drink in your hand, watching the waves roll in.... even if you are sitting in your office in front of your computer. A must have if you love acoustic guitars! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Amazing Album.......2007-05-30

I love Jack Johnson! I have a more recent album and thought nothing could top it, but this one does. The lyrics are thoughtful, the melodies are catchy. I drove up and down the coast listening to this CD and never got sick of it.

Jack--always a classic.......2007-05-15

This record is one of his best... I would recommend it for new listeners of Jack Johnson who are just beginning to explore his musical awesomeness.

Wonderful addition to my CD collection.......2007-04-12

Jack Johnson work has an original voice and sound. Excellent addition to my collection. Mix of folk, pop and blues. Lyrics that nurture the soul. Highly recommended.

With their dueling guitar leads and harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, the Allman Brothers Band cast the mold for the southern rock sound that would proliferate in the '70s. Virtuoso musicians, their songs drew upon a number of southern influences, including country, the blues, New Orleans jazz, and even gospel, creating a sound that was distinctly theirs. Decade of Hits is a great catalog of the Allman's at their guitar wielding best. The sweet, infectious harmonies on the instrumental "Jessica" have become a classic reference point in themselves. Next to the tragedies that plagued them--two motorcycle deaths, heroin addiction--the Allman's are probably best known for the heroic "Ramblin' Man." Written and sung by the now legendary Dickey Betts, the song contained everything that made the band great: intricate guitar harmonies, a strong melody, and just enough twang to keep the thing tight. Decade also contains Allman staples "Melissa," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," and "Southbound." --Steve Gdula

What a band!.......2007-07-15

This is older music that still rocks into 2007. I bought this for my husband as a birthday present and got a very pleased husband for my trouble. Check out Gov't Mule if you like Allman Brothers.

I love this CD. I wish there were more hits on it, but hey. I like The Allman Brothers Band loads better than Greg Allman on his own. It took me awhile to finally find the song/s I like, done the way I remember them. Glad I finally found this one.

GREAT SOUTHERN ROCK COLLECTION.......2007-03-13

The Allman Brothers' A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 is arguably the best greatest hits compilation ever assembled and released within the Southern Rock genre.

Indeed, it is a most enjoyable listen. It has the early hits with the fine-tuned organ and the top-notch guitar work of the great Allman Brothers. The very early tracks from the 1969-1970 period, Whipping Post and all, are quite appealing and are reminiscent of those darker tunes in the style of Sugarloaf's Greeneyed Lady and Santana's Soul Sacrifice.

The commercially successful records that put the Allman Brothers at the top of the charts but were, sadly, recorded and released well after the death of Duane Allman are all there, from the number 2 hit, Ramblin' Man, to the immortal instrumental that has received international accolades, namely Jessica.

For those who want a perfect Allman Brothers sampler without delving into the boxed sets or anything that is outside that frequently played on the classic rock radio stations, this is it. You have the signature live and studio pieces that have preserved the Allman Brothers' legacy. 'Nuff said.

Amazon.com

Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G. Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected pop. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate, has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong lyrical undertow. "It seems to me that 'maybe' pretty much always means 'no,'" sings Johnson on "Flake," which features crony Harper on slide guitar. Production by J.P. Plunier (who also handles Harper's recordings) is simple and uncluttered: acoustic guitar and drum tracks share the foreground with Johnson's easygoing vocals, which evoke everyone from G. Love (who recorded Johnson's "Rodeo Clowns" on his Philadelphonic album) to Nick Drake to Willy Porter. And while Johnson may not have Porter's guitar chops, these songs have a relaxed beauty and understated depth that reward repeated listening. --Bill Forman

Knocked my Socks off....& blew 'em Away!.......2007-03-28

For me, that's plenty nuff said, right there!
I don't get blindsided like I did when I caught his act somewhere in the music and was left to wonder "What and Who was THAT?..WoW" Same thing happened during the last membership drive for OPB...caught a snippet...then my dtr in law sent me his album. I thought, Who the heck's Jack Johnson? Now I know. It put the name to the music that haunted me and oh boy is he something else. Fabulous. I think I could probably be happy as a big ol fat mud hen, just to take this CD and maybe a Macy Gray and some Shawn Mullins...and go to that proverbial deserted island, a happy camper. Food?...Well at least my soul would be well fed. I've had a Dave Koz CD in the car's player for 2 yrs. It will finally get to come in the house for a well-deserved rest, while this one goes traveling for a while! The back-up for his vocals are totally outstanding. Nobody can say that I "don't know Jack", anymore; that's for sure! Looking for a new and totally addictive, musical high?....Here 'tis! A beautiful baker's dozen.

Brushfire Fairytales.......2007-03-08

Jack Johnson is smooth and the tunes are catchy and stay in your head.

Rythmic souds.......2007-01-25

More laid back that his "in between dreams" album. Great soothing voice. song lyrics vary from topic to topic. Awesome driving music. The song "Bubble Toes" make me want to dance everytime I listen to it!

Jack Johnson is awesome.......2007-01-15

I started listening to Jack Johnson when his Between Dreams CD came out. Who knew this gem was just waiting to be discovered?

Adore him.......2007-01-11

I heard him do an interview on the radio and I fell in love with his music. Hunting down all his CDs :).

Amazon.com essential recording

There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt, the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy. Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman would have been a star in any other setting; here he's merely one more component in a brilliant ensemble. Duane Allman died shortly after At Fillmore East shipped, and the Brothers haven't scaled such heights since. But, then, neither has anyone else. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

legendary.......2007-05-17

I purchased this album to replace the one on LP. If you are a person who enjoys true southern rock , you shouldn't be without a copy of this one. Some of this work is at a level you will never hear again. Absolutely superb!

Duane, We Hardly Knew Ye.......2007-04-01

A spectacular collection of live jamming from the Brothers. IMHO Duane is the greatest lead guitar player ever. Hendrix was a spectacular virtuoso who could do things that no other player could. Clapton and the other contenders, tremendous technically, but Duane was in a league of his own in being able to communicate with his axe. To hear lead guitar at its best, go no further than this magnificent set!

Great live album but not the best out there.......2007-03-04

I've always been a fan of blues oriented rock music- especially live recorded music. This album is exceptional, no doubt, although I have to disagree with some of the previous reviews. I used to own this cd but gave it up after giving it a few tries. After reading these reviews I gave it another try. The sound quality is great and the performance is great too, but not the ultimate live album I was expecting. If you want to get some excellent electrified live blues rock music I'd recommend Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour or Ten Years After's Live at Fillmore East. Bottom line, buy The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East but don't expect it to be the best live album you've ever heard.

Is there some way I can give it more than 5 stars?.......2007-01-12

It's almost pointless to add another 5-star review to this album. This is way beyond the categories of "Southern rock" (Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet belong in that dubious realm) and "blues rock" (hate to sound politically incorrect, but there's never been a blues performer or band that's even come close to what these guys were capable of). Duane Allman's slide guitar squalls with the kind of expression that will put the fear of God into you and make you forget, for a moment, who Jimi Hendrix was.

Kiddies, this is what rock concerts used to be. Never mind! This is too real for you. Go back to blogging about how great fill-in-the-blank is.

Best live album, but there's more!.......2007-01-11

This Live album has been the standard for all others to be measured by for over 30 years. Every musician is at the top of his game. Duane Allman's guitar playing still reveals new thrills after 3 decades of listening. Dickey Betts does a great job of keeping up. (To tell them apart, Duane's guitar is a little smoother and seems to sing.) This recording still feels fresh and vital. You do not need to be a southern rock or blues fan to enjoy the music. However, do yourself a favor and opt for double The Fillmore Concerts instead. The recording mix is a little more balanced and there are some alternate takes that pack the discs with over 130 minutes of music. If you agree (and you most likely will) that this is the best live album, then the additional music on the additional disc is the second best live labum. With the extended album you will get a deeper appreciation for a band that played until the sun rose. This is not an album to be mixed into an iPod shuffle. Relax, sit down with your favorite beverage and immerse yourself. The music will take you away.

Rockabilly All The Way - George Thorogood Style!.......2007-04-05

George Thorogood is one of my favorite all time rockers. The reason why is he was able to combine rock with a little bit of country. In essence: ROCKABILLY! I was raised in the South, but did not especially like a lot of country music. This CD has just the right amount of both Rock and Country music all in one great collection. I would not call it a greatest hits album, but most of George Thorogood's songs are on it. This is a must for your CD collection!

RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "ALMOST GREAT TO THE BONE!".......2007-01-28

This is a great CD with some all-time classic Thorogood, slide guitar masterpieces. Such as "One Bourbon Once Scotch, One Beer", "Move It On Over:, Who Do You Love", "Bad To The Bone", and perhaps the most intelligent, "tongue in cheek" "drinking" rock song ever, "I Drink Alone"! And other songs. Why then would you ask, would Shaq "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer", give it 4 stars instead of 5? Because out of 16 songs about 4 of them are not all-time greats, so that is 25% of the songs, don't rate a 5 star grade. Hence, 4 star, still really good, and you should buy it.

Amazon.com

Those who know Jack Johnson only as college radio fave are in for a pleasant surprise here, as are wave-riding aficionados with a taste for eclectic, cooled-out musical vibes. The project Surfer magazine hailed as 2000's Video of the Year was originally a collaboration between surfing champ/then-USC film student Johnson and school colleagues Chris and Dan Malloy. But Johnson also gratifyingly took the opportunity to prove that "surf music" is purely a subjective term; indeed, electric instruments are few and far between here, let alone the traditional buzzsaw licks of such genre stalwarts as Dick Dale and Gary Hoey. Instead, Johnson has stitched together an organically focused, acoustic-centered collection that would seem as welcome on a shady creek bank as a sunny, wave-lapped beach. Johnson offers up an acoustic take of his sophomore album's "Holes to Heaven" and the sprightly instrumentals "Moonshine" and "Cove," while longtime associate G. Love duets on the spare, rootsy "Rainbow." Love and band Special Sauce also contribute the even grittier instrumental "Hobo Blues" and laconic "Honor and Harmony." But its also a collection that ventures as far afield as The Meters' 70's-funky "Liver Splash"., Finley Quaye's spare soul, the folk-raga of Kalyanji/Anadji's "My Guru" and the spacey, haunting "Dark Water and Stars" by Natural Calamity. --Jerry McCulley

Redefining Surf Music - Jack & Friends.......2006-10-29

Jack takes beach music beyond the Beach Boys and Dick Dale and redefines the laid back sound of the surf. Jack contributes to a few track both solo efforts and with G. Love - the great, but simple Rainbow Blues. This album is great and gets better with repeat listings. Buy and enjoy.

Thicker Than Water.......2006-07-25

A collection of songs from some great musicians. I really liked the title track "Thicker Thank Water" by Todd Hannigan. [...]

Great CD!!! Love Jack's music!.......2006-07-25

Jack Johnson is the greatest new artist on the market. This cd is awesome. Matt Costa and G.Love sound good with Jack, love the Rainbow song.

Good Album.......2006-07-08

I had all of Jack Johnson's other albums before I purchased this one. I enjoy this album. It's not all Jack Johnson which gives for a nice mix of songs. I like the songs Jack Johnson does on this album as much as any of his others, not to mention the other songs on the album are pretty good too.

I would reccomend it if you are a Jack Johnson fan or like really chill music. It's a cool album.

Having firmly established themselves as "The Grateful Dead of the South" via their enormously successful 1971 Live at the Fillmore East double album, the Allman Brothers had just begun work on a new studio collection when slide guitarist Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Undaunted, the group rallied together and completed Eat a Peach, which, via inclusion of the 34-minute-plus "Mountain Jam," blossomed into a double LP. While keyboardist-singer Gregg Allman shone on tracks like Sonny Boy Williamson's "One Way Out" and his own "Melissa," it was second guitarist Dickey Betts who came out from under the departed Allman's shadow with his lead vocal on "Blue Sky" and his incendiary playing throughout. --Billy Altman

THE ORIGINAL ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND. THEIR SWAN SONG........2007-04-04

When Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident, The Allman Brothers Band decided that he would have wanted them to soldier on. And that, they did. Eat a Peach (1972) was released about four months after Duane's death. It contains songs recorded in the studio with Duane, unreleased live performances with Duane from the historic Fillmore concerts, and new songs recorded without Duane. Every song is a classic and fan favorite. The new songs kick off the album with the upbeat Ain't Wastin' Time No More ("I've still got two strong legs and even wings to fly"), the impressive instrumental Les Brers in A Minor' and the beautifully sad Melissa (this new beginning would end eight months later with bassist Berry Oakley's death). Next up is the live material. Mountain Jam, the 34 minute instrumental based on Donavon's "First There is a Mountain" is the highlight of this album, and the Allman's career. This is the best piece of music the band has ever recorded. They have never sounded better than this. Each and every member of the band shines brightly on Mountain Jam and the sound is as pure and unpretentious as rock music can ever get. There are no egos wrestling for the spotlight here, just disciplined musicians dedicated to the music they play. Listening to this, you will also hear how important Berry Oakley (the most underrated bass player in the history of rock) was to their sound. Duane Allman's magic was never more dazzling than it is here, and at the end of this song, he introduces each band member by name, and then says "I'm Duane Allman, thank you". It's the most emotional moment on the album, because it's his last goodbye to us all. The classic One Way Out and an uptempo Trouble No More round out the live portion of the album. Stand Back, Blue Sky, and Little Martha are the songs the band, including Duane, recorded in the studio before the accident. Stand Back is classic ABB with Duane's fiery slide guitar, and Gregg's soulful vocals. Dickey Betts makes his ABB singing debut on Blue Sky, a country style song with plenty of Duane and Dickey's twin guitar lines, and each taking a long bouncy solo. Of course, this is another fan favorite. Last, is Little Martha, an instrumental song Duane wrote. With just he and Dickey on acoustic guitars, it's reflective, well performed, and a perfect way to end the album. It also ends the story of one of the best bands to ever plug in musical instruments, and play music in the rock, blues, jazz, or country format. Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe. Through Eat a Peach, At Fillmore East, and Beginnings, their music lives forever.

Tragedy Breeds Magic.......2007-01-25

After the death of Duane, the band reconvened and came up with this, another very strong album. When it was originally released on vinyl it was a two record set, but it is condensed on to one for the CD release. The album consists of new studio material and live material recorded prior to Duane Allman's death. More Allman classics appear on this one, "Ain't Wastin Time No More", "Melissa" (which now my be better known from a cell phone commercial), "One Way Out". The band gets close to proggy on the all instrumental "Les Breres In A Minor". The centerpiece of the album is the 30 plus minute "Mountain Jam" a live recording that once again focus on the rambling twin guitar jams of Betts and Allman. Every "jam band" that is around today owes a debt to The Allman Brothers who did it all first back in the day. The album closes with "Blue Sky" a breezy little Dickey Betts number and "Little Martha" an acoustic duet with Betts and Allman. Killer stuff.

Magnum Opus South ..........2006-06-30

I agree wholeheartely with all or most all of the reviews listed but must respectfully disagree with finulanu's comment that the Allman Brothers magnum opus, Mountain Jam, is too long. It is in my opinion one blissfully long magnificent piece of music that is as good or even better than any Dead jam. I bought the double Lp back in the early 70's and painfully remember having to dig out and switch vinyl on the turntable (each half of Mountain Jam on seperate records) right in the middle of my Dickey Betts air guitar solo !!!
Now that Eat a Peach is on cd, I can hear Mountain Jam soar from blissfull begining to magnificent end without interuption.

Eat A Peach For Peace.......2006-03-14

I will always be moved and haunted by the voice of Dickie Betts...the Guitar work of Duane, and the collective genius of this important work.
There will probably never be an album like this again. The ease of falling in love with these beautiful songs is a given.
EAT A PEACH is a gem. No 'pitts' inside ;)

Yes, I'm editing my Eat a Peach review yet AGAIN.......2006-03-08

If you're keeping score, this would be the third time I've rewritten my review of Eat a Peach. By the looks of it, this is the final. It's been a few months since the last time I went through and reviewed it, and a few months and several listens later I'm beginning to see the light. This, ladies and gentlemen, is not only the Allmans' best album, but arguably the greatest double-album of all time. There's nothing that even comes close to filler. I know I bashed Les Brers in A Minor and Mountain Jam on my previous reviews, but those two have grown on me, as has Blue Sky. All right, you're bored now. On with the show!
Right from when the opening notes of Ain't Wastin' Time No More hit, you know you're in for something good. And sure enough, you are. Gregg shines on keyboards (love that little piano blurb at the start!) and vocals, plus Dickey's (not Duane's, he was sadly dead by this point) slide guitar beefs up the tune. Les Brers in A Minor is Betts' obligatory family-sized instrumental. No, it's nowhere near In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (my favorite rock instrumental ever, for what it's worth). Whatever, it's still a good tune, rising from a lengthy, cinematic introduction to a git-down-'n'-boogie second half that's a blast to listen to. As usual, Gregg's organ is a high point. Big-time radio hit Melissa (though it might as well have been called Duane, since that's who it's really about) is by far the group's best ballad - wrenching vocals are a big highlight, and Gregg proves he can write lyrics that are more than good-timey if he tries at it (he repeats the performance with Ain't Wastin' Time).
OK, onto Mountain Jam. This one takes a while to grow on you, for the simple reason that it's longer than a half-hour. But once it does, you'll never look back. For one it's got a great melody. But when that melody ends, the "jam" part opens up (the melody being "mountain" - based off of Donovan's "First There Is a Mountain"). The group goes insane for about twenty minutes, with virtuoso performances all around. And though it's long, it's also truly captivating. Let's face it, these guys were great instrumentalists - all six of 'em, and not just Duane (though he was the best). Speaking of Duane, yes he does appear on this cut, and yes he does play slide guitar. Need I say more? This was recorded live, as were the other two tunes. First is their cover of One Way Out, my favorite Allmans tune ever. Why? For one, if you weren't sold on Gregg's blues vocals, I can't help you. And if you were, the bar-tradin' guitar solo in the middle should only pull you in further. If it doesn't, you can't consider yourself an Allmans fan. Harsh, but true. They also cut a typically good cover of Trouble No More, though both the studio version and Muddy's original are better, I'm a fan of this one!
Now, onto Studio Side #2, AKA The Studio Side With Duane On It. First off is the funky Stand Back, love that little bass solo stuck in the middle! Then there's the huge radio hit Blue Sky, which is one hell of a song. It's true. The postive, feel-good vibes which draw you in are only part of it. Listen to the guitar jam in the middle, man! Vintage Allmans. Probably the best-known song of the bunch. And really, who's gonna wonder why? The album-closer Little Martha is also a highlight, simple but beautifully, lyrically effective. Little tune really tugs at the ol' heartstrings, especially when you consider it was the last bit of music Duane Allman ever put out in his life. Outside of its legacy, though, it's simply an amazingly melodic tune. I can't praise it enough.
If you're a rock fan and don't have a copy of Eat a Peach, I don't know what you're thinking. It's simply that good.
Now, a little shout-out to Duane: we all miss you. If there's a heaven up there, it's about time someone called him down, kept him far away from the drugs, and maybe, just maybe, have him send every guitarist in existence back home, crying in jealousy. Him and Hendrix. Those two should come back (I never knew any of them personally, but I've heard that they were great people in addition to their guitar heroics). BUY THE FRIGGIN' THING!

Best of the Best.......2007-05-23

I've always loved her music but I had never purchased any of her CD's. This CD had all of my favorites on it and some songs I hadn't heard. I loved every song. If you're looking for a comprehensive CD with "Best of" Bonnie music, this is it.

Bonnie Raitt... what a great singer!.......2007-03-21

Great Singer.. great songs.. terrific musician! What else is there to say?!

Best of Bonnie Raitt.......2007-01-06

The title says it all...upbeat blues...something to make you feel good.

Best Of Bonnie Rait.......2006-11-06

I received my order in a timely manner and it is just what I wanted all the great songs!! Thank you! LB

This is only the "best" since 1989.......2006-09-09

As a long-time lover of Bonnie Raitt, I have no complaints about this "best" package, except a note to those Bonnie "newbies". This collection is a good sampling of her work since she switched to Capital Records in 1989 (although "Come to Me" is a glaring omission). But there is a TON of more great music PRE-1989. Try the "Bonnie Raitt Collection", which is all pre-1989, or try some of the orignal CD's, such as "Sweet Forgiveness".

It doesn't get any better than Bonnie Raitt - pre- or post-1989, but those of you who love this album should check out the earlier work as well.

Just in his mid-twenties when this album was released in early 2006, the guitar tone of Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks (nephew of founding drummer Butch) has become one of the most recognizable sounds to be squeezed out of the instrument. Snake-like, swampy, and filled with tense soul, his slide work has been compared to Ry Cooder's, and perhaps inevitably, to Duane Allman's. On his first album of new studio material in four years, Trucks steers his malleable band through a heady blend of jazz, Jamaican, gospel, blues, and world music, occasionally even combining styles in a single track. Any disc that covers deep soul man O.V. Wright, Pakistani music legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and reggae journeyman Toots Hibbert can't help but swim in eclectic waters. But Trucks pulls it all together with a sure sense of flow and arrangements that never let the tunes descend into free fall.

Soul singer and newest band member Mike Mattison acquits himself admirably, bringing a tough gospel edge to "I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free)," an airy, ethereal quality to the floating "This Sky," and gruff spirit to the original rocker "Revolution." Although there are plenty of solos, Trucks's structured approach never lets the tunes sink into aimless jams, navigating his lines around the verses rather than vice versa. As classy and controlled as his rather stoic stage presence, Songlines confirms Derek Trucks's status as one of music's most innovative, fearless and affecting guitar players, regardless of age. --Hal Horowitz

Customer Reviews:

I love this guy.......2007-07-03

This is a great album with a variety of songs that I can listen to over and over. The smoky voice against Derek's guitar is really wonderful.

Sound Worthy!.......2007-07-01

Derek grows and grows with each endeavor, complex texture, more and deeper exploration. All true signs of a "worthy sound" and superb musician.

Great, but not a "blues" album.......2007-06-21

First things first: Derek Trucks is the man. I saw him a couple weeks ago live, and I left the place in awe of how he touches a guitar. I immediately ordered this album and played it LOUD today. I was definitely impressed, but not completely. Why? Well, I figure Derek Trucks should be playing blues. That is what he does best. This album is basically second generation Santana with a bluesy element, and unless that is what you are looking for you will be disappointed. So it all comes down to your expectations. In either case, however, this record is further proof that Derek Trucks can play. He plays Santana better than Santana does.

Not what i was expecting.......2007-06-13

Not the kind of music i was expecting to hear when i purchased the cd. I was looking for a real rockin, bluesy, jam on kind of album seems how he is from the Allman Bros. Band. NOT THE CASE. This album is a total waste of time and money. Turns out its like world music, with a hint of gospel and new age jazz. Total Let down from what i was expecting after "Rolling Stone" named him one of the new guitar gods. DEREK TRUCKS IS NOT A GUITAR GOD, HE IS A TOTAL WASTE !

Great CD - Worth Buying for sure..........2007-05-12

Derek Trucks has such talent - enjoy this one for sure.
