Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0696998650725 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 86507 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: September 03, 2002 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The third album from guitar phenom Derek Trucks resounds with joyful noise indeed, and amazingly, it seems as though Trucks and his band run through (at least) 10 distinct genres across these 10 songs. Trucks may venture all over the musical map--blues, soul, jazz, Eastern music, to name a few stops--but he does so with a confidence and assertiveness usually found in much older musicians. Then again, he is the nephew of Butch Trucks (a fellow member of the Allman Brothers Band, Trucks's moonlighting gig) and is married to fellow guitar wiz Susan Tedeschi (who guests on this album), so it's not surprising that he seems experienced beyond his years. Joyful Noise features a host of guest artists--including Qawwali singer Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and soul legend Solomon Burke--but despite the considerable variety here, the album maintains a unified, if high-flying and eclectic, vision. Even at such a young age, Trucks already plays with skill, invention, and heart. --Genevieve Williams Average Rating:
 Rating:  - so, so good. SO good.I'm picky. And this cd surpasses what I had expected. I love when artists can show versatility from song to song. This cd does this, and then some, without losing the bluesy vibe. LOVE it. if you ever get a chance to see these fellas live, DO IT. I had so much fun I had to buy a cd as a memoir. This was a great choice:) Rating: - The best of what a great band can doIf you've heard some of the Derek Trucks Band's music, perhaps you know what to expect. That is you don't know what to expect! DTB plays rock, blues, jazz, and world music, sometimes at the same time. This album has a lot less blues than some of their others, but lots of mind-expanding jazz-rock, some world, some great R&B with Mrs. Trucks (Susan Tedeschi) and with soul legend Solomon Burke... What more could one want? There are no bad DTB albums, but this one is probably the best. Rating: - inventive, invigoratingVery rarely do I get "the feeling". You know the one I'm talking about. Something comes on the radio and the chill runs up your spine. You either pull the car over because you've got to hear it, or it's so exciting you speed up. Look down and you're going 85 in a 55 mile zone. I used to get that feeling often. Aretha, early ABB, the first time I heard the harmonies on Suite:Judy Blue Eyes. Lately I've been more likely to get it from songwriters like Guy Clark or Rodney Crowell where the lyrical ...

In the richest Fillmore-esque tradition, Trucks and band have amalgamated a fine tuned cornucopia of rootsy sounds into a sonic masterpiece. "Oh sure, but what's that mean?" Today's market practically requires artists to dumb down their sound ... Read More |
