Any Derek Trucks Band fans?

Although I'm generally not that into blues I've recently purchased 2 CDs by this band and enjoy them quite a bit. I find them to be somewhat eclectic in that there seems to be diverse influences. Anyone care to post some opinions or observations on this group? Favorite titles?

DTB is so much more than blues. Check out "Songlines" and
"Joyful Noise" better yet, catch them live if you can.

You've got to check out the Crossroads:Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007 DVD set. He's one of the featured guitarist. It's also one of the best sounding Concert DVDs if you have a nice home theater setup.

the 2007 crossroad video is totally amazing. each musician tops the one before. jeff beck puts in an unbelievable
performance. derek trucks plays great yet "effortlessly".
j.mayor really shows what he can do as well. now i love the guitar more than ever.

Songlines was a very good and eclectic album. His last one though didn't do it for me. It sounds like he's just noodling along and the songs weren't as diverse or as well composed as the previous album.

It's gotten a lot of praise, but perhaps just wasn't my cup of tea.
