Industry Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- Derek Trucks is a soaring, inspirational blues guitarist....Passionately acquainted with jazz and world music, Trucks, 26, is also a spiritual seeker who delights in boosting the blues into new realms.
Tasty licks, shimmering solos, string and mind-bending amplified extrapolations -- would you expect less from the 26-year-old guitar whiz?...
The young slide guitar slinger continues pushing the envelope with an eclectic pastiche of blues, Indian ragas, Southern rock and reggae.
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [Trucks] is the kind of bandleader who likes to sing, so to speak, with others. Some of his sharpest playing is in conversation-like tandem with lead vocalist Mike Mattison.
3 stars out of 5 -- Trucks' guitar ranges lithely from a Skip Jamesian 'Crow Jane'...to the mysterious modal lines of Sahib Teri Bandi...
[W]hat distinguishes SONGLINES is its seamless blend of styles connected by blues and gospel, as well as an abundance of strong arrangements...
