The Derek Trucks Band: Roadsongs Review

Roadsongs is the new live album from The Derek Trucks Band. The album includes many of the best songs from DTB’s catalog along with some covers such as “Key to the Highway,” and “Anyday.”

One of the great additions the band brings to this album is the use of horns. They really add extra flare to some of the songs, most notably “Days Is Almost Gone.” The song has always been one of my favorites from the band, but the added horns really take the song to the next level.

As always Trucks absolutely rips on this album and in a live setting he can let loose more so than usual. One such track is “Afro Blue.” This a fantastic track with so many great elements. The added horns and the clarino sound with Trucks’ slide playing is really something.

Roadsongs is an excellent addition to The Derek Trucks Band catalog. Not to mention it’s a two-disc set that lasts nearly two hours. And like the title of the album, it’s great to listen to on the road.
