We Say...
It's the guitar overall that powers Southern rock (and typically "guitar armies" that characterize the genre). Of all the Second Wavers, one-man axe armada Derek Trucks, nephew of esteemed Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch, is the most anointed. To be sure, Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes is (justifiably) more famous and a triple-threat hisself, yet even Haynes has been amazed by Trucks the Younger's gift since the latter was nine and began to sit in with players throughout the Allmans' family network. The Derek Trucks Band was Trucks' first official bow on disc — peaking with early crowd favorite "Egg 15," a seven-and-a-half minute, modal jazzy tour de force — and, while uneven and inferior to the live act, ably demonstrates that we'll all remain mighty "skurred" of him for years to come (especially in his virtuoso swings from raga fusion to blues blended with country gospel to Latinized jazz-rock).

They Say...
Derek Trucks began building his own legacy at the age of 12, playing scorching slide guitar that prompted many to hypothesize that he was the reincarnation of Duane Allman in the flesh. The nephew of Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks, Derek was virtually born into a show business family, but don't think for a minute that he doesn't create his own opportunity. Backed by a skin-tight rhythm section and complimented by a top-notch organist, the youthful guitarist blazes through new arrangements of jazz and blues classics. He turns the trumpet wizardry of Miles Davis into slide-guitar magic, and his readings of a couple of Coltrane tunes pack a terrific punch. The band also contribute several of their own compositions, paving the way for a bright future as a group of tight-knit, talented musicians. A flawless recording.
