One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band (57 page)

Soul Serenade
(2003, ***) is a more laid-back effort than its predecessor (which it was recorded before). The title track was one of Duane Allman’s favorite tunes, and brother Gregg makes an appearance on Ray Charles’s “Drown in My Own Tears,” delivering one of his best vocal tracks of the new millennium.

Live at the Georgia Theatre
(2004, ***
) is a very representative live album.

Songlines
(2006, ****) kicks off with a blast of righteous slide guitar on “Volunteered Slavery” and never really looks back.

Already Free
(2009, ****) is a strong collection of focused, low-key Americana, with Doyle Bramhall II, Trucks’s wife, Susan Tedeschi, and other guests beginning to hint that Derek was looking past his longtime band. There’s a lot to love here, especially the gentle duet “Back Where I Started,” featuring Trucks on sarod and guitar and Tedeschi on vocals. It is a gorgeous love song.

Roadsongs
(2010, ***) is a very solid double live album that is the Trucks Band’s swan song, as the guitarist had already moved on to the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Tedeschi Trucks Band

Revelator
(2011, ***) is a strong start for the new group, but the material does not sound fully gelled.

Live: Everybody’s Talking
(2012, ***
) is a double live from the TTB’s first full-length tour. All the music comes together here, hinting at what a powerful ensemble this group is becoming, though it remains curiously languid, leaving me longing to hear Derek open up and unwind.

On
Made Up Mind
(2013, ****), the TTB seem to find their groove: Strong, hard-driving R and B and material that feels better suited to the large ensemble.

Jaimoe’s Jassz Band

Double Down Grill, 1/28/06
(***
) The Jassz Band was mostly a local Connecticut band at the time, not playing much original music, but highlighting Jaimoe’s swinging drum work and an evolving band with a horn section that alternated between accenting singer/guitarist Junior Mack and taking the melodic lead. The two-disc set starts out heavy on the blues, and then goes deep into jazz on set two, with versions of Wayne Shorter’s “Footprints,” Dizzy Gillespie’s “Night in Tunisia,” and a unique, horn-driven “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”

Ed Blackwell Memorial Concert 2/27/2008
(***
) More straight-ahead jazz takes the fore at this show dedicated to one of Jaimoe’s jazz heroes, drummer Ed Blackwell, but Mack’s searing take on Curtis Mayfield’s “People Get Ready” is a highlight.

Renaissance Man
(2011,****)
is a fantastic collection of songs, with guitarist/singer/songwriter Junior Mack really stepping up and riding the groove created by Jaimoe’s swinging drumming, Bruce Katz’s keys, and a surging horn section playing terrific charts. This is a sleeper album in the Allman Brothers Band family tree.
