Derek Trucks Band

The new Derek Trucks Band album Already Free comes out on January 13. If the first single Down In The Flood is any indicator, the album will be smoking. Already Free is the sixth studio release from the Derek Trucks Band and was recorded entirely in Trucks’ Jacksonville, FL home studio. According to Trucks:

“This album was completely organic. We had no expectations. We just came down and started writing. Then one thing led to the next. I had all this time off so I just started calling up friends. And once the process started rolling and once we realized that we were onto something, we were writing tunes and all the sounds we were getting were amazing and it was starting to feel great. It felt like something was happening and we wanted to keep throwing musicians on the fire”

In addition to the standard Trucks Band music wizardry of Derek Trucks on guitar, bassist Todd Smallie, percussionist Count M’Butu, drummer Yonrico Scott, keyboardist Kofi Burbridge and singer Mike Mattison the album features several guest appearances from the likes of Doyle Bramhall II, Oteil Burbridge and Trucks’ wife Susan Tedeschi.
