The Derek Trucks Band February 15, 2006

The Derek Trucks Band has been a work in progress for over 10 years, slowly blending jazz, rock, blues, Latin, Eastern Indian, and other world music into the sound that now defines the DTB.

Columbia Records will release Songlines, the first new recording by The Derek Trucks Band in nearly four years, and the first studio album to feature the full-throated, impassioned vocals of newest DTB member, Mike Mattison. Songlines signals the DTBs arrival at a spiritual plateau after a decade long journey of musical discovery, and cements Trucks reputation as one of the greatest guitarists of his generation. While Songlines embraces the groups big-eared love of rock, jazz, blues, latin and world music, it is unquestionably their most cohesive album to date.Submitted by Eventful on behalf of Humboldt
